This resolution seeks to impeach Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for alleged high crimes and misdemeanors. It presents seven distinct articles of impeachment, asserting that his conduct has abused presidential powers and violated his constitutional oath. The resolution contends that these actions are offensive to and subversive of the Constitution, demonstrating his unfitness to govern. The first article, Obstruction of Justice, Violation of Due Process, and Breach of Duty to Faithfully Execute Laws , accuses the President of directing subordinates to violate their oaths and abuse official powers, including seeking to dismiss charges for political quid pro quo and retaliating against Department of Justice attorneys. It further alleges defiance of binding court orders, such as removing individuals despite judicial prohibitions and conducting enforced disappearances. Article II addresses the Usurpation of the Appropriations Power , claiming the President unlawfully seized Congress's authority over federal funds by withholding appropriations and attempting to dismantle agencies like the Department of Education and USAID. This article also highlights the creation of a "Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)" to impound funds, thereby cutting critical services. Article III, Abuse of Trade Powers and International Aggression , details the imposition of unjustifiable tariffs that allegedly harmed the U.S. and global economies, violating international norms. It also accuses the President of threatening foreign nations with invasion and annexation of sovereign territory, citing examples like Canada, Mexico, Greenland, the Panama Canal, and the Gaza Strip. Article IV focuses on the Violation of First Amendment Rights , alleging retaliation against law firms and attorneys representing critics, and weaponizing the Department of Justice for spurious investigations against political opponents. It further cites public statements threatening media outlets and members of Congress, including those on the January 6th Select Committee. The fifth article, Creation of Unlawful Office , asserts that the President established the "Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)" through unlawful orders, unconstitutionally placing Mr. Elon Musk in de facto control without proper appointment or Senate confirmation. This alleged unlawful office then proceeded to impound funds, violate privacy laws, and terminate government employees. Article VI, Bribery and Corruption , accuses the President of engaging in unlawful corruption for personal profit, including soliciting and accepting bribes for official actions and leveraging threats of government action to extract large payments from meritless litigation. It also states he refused to divest from personal business ventures, creating conflicts of interest, and encouraged subordinates to violate ethics laws. Finally, Article VII, Tyranny , alleges the President sought to establish himself as a dictator, usurping the constitutional powers of Congress, the courts, and the States. It claims he denied fundamental rights, sought to intimidate Congress and state officials, and threatened to abrogate the 14th Amendment and violate presidential term limits. The resolution concludes that Donald John Trump's conduct has demonstrated his unfitness to govern, acting in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law, and that he remains a threat to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office.
