This resolution proposes the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors, specifically citing an abuse of presidential powers. The core accusation is that President Trump disregarded the constitutional separation of powers by **usurping Congress's sole authority to declare war**. This action is deemed a violation of his oath of office and duty to faithfully execute laws. The resolution details that on June 21, 2025, President Trump allegedly ordered military attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran without seeking prior congressional authorization or providing appropriate notice to Congress. This unilateral use of force occurred despite Iran posing no imminent threat to the United States, which the resolution argues facilitates the **devolution of American democracy into authoritarianism**. Such conduct, it concludes, warrants impeachment, trial, and removal from office.
