This resolution seeks to impeach Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors, presenting thirteen specific articles of impeachment. These articles, drafted by consumer advocate Ralph Nader and constitutional scholar Bruce Fein, assert that President Trump has repeatedly violated his constitutional oath of office and undermined the rule of law. The first set of charges focuses on abuses of executive power, including usurping congressional war powers by initiating conflicts and committing war crimes without authorization, blockading Venezuela, and engaging in piracy. The resolution also alleges the militarization of domestic law enforcement through illegal national emergency declarations and the summoning of the National Guard to intimidate peaceful protestors. Furthermore, it accuses President Trump of unconstitutional detentions and deportations based on race or political opposition, and using vile epithets to dehumanize immigrant communities. Additional articles detail alleged infringements on fundamental rights and governmental integrity. These include retaliation against constitutionally protected speech , such as firing federal employees for political opinions and issuing executive orders to suppress free expression or "propagandize students." The resolution also cites a significant abuse of the pardon power , specifically mentioning pardons for January 6 insurrectionists, campaign donors, and political supporters convicted of serious crimes, which it characterizes as sabotaging the rule of law. The resolution further charges President Trump with systematically crippling or defunding programs designed to protect consumers, the needy, workers, and the environment, and usurping the congressional power of the purse by mismanaging appropriated funds and diverting others. It also alleges contempt of Congress by resisting oversight and refusing to disclose crucial information, alongside perverting law enforcement to persecute political opponents and benefit allies. Finally, the articles accuse President Trump of suspending or dispensing with laws , such as illegally discharging Inspectors General, and flouting the Fourteenth Amendment by issuing an unconstitutional executive order on birthright citizenship. The resolution concludes with charges of declaring specious national emergencies and designating foreign entities as terrorist organizations without credible evidence, and violating the domestic and foreign emoluments clauses by exploiting his office for personal financial gain.
