Impeaching Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This House resolution impeaches President Donald J.
Trump and presents thirteen articles alleging high crimes and misdemeanors.
The articles allege unauthorized use of military force, war crimes, piracy, misuse of emergency powers and the National Guard, unlawful detentions and deportations, retaliation against critics, abuse of the pardon power, crippling federal programs, violations of the power of the purse, contempt of Congress, politicized law enforcement actions, illegal suspensions of laws and officials, violations of birthright citizenship, dubious emergency and foreign terrorist designations, and emoluments conflicts.
Impeachment alone does not remove; sweeping, partisan charges reduce chances of conviction and final removal.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill clearly serves as a formal impeachment resolution and enumerates multiple categories of alleged presidential misconduct. The basic legal mechanism—impeachment and exhibition of articles to the Senate—is present. Drafting quality is uneven: the document mixes specific statutory and constitutional references with broad allegations, contains incomplete or imprecise citations, and includes stray fragmented text and placeholders that detract from coherence.
Liberal emphasizes constitutional accountability; conservatives see partisan weaponization.

Why the argument around this bill splits.
Liberal emphasizes constitutional accountability; conservatives see partisan weaponization.
Sees the resolution as a comprehensive accountability effort for alleged constitutional violations and abuses of power.
Likely to view removal and disqualification as warranted if evidence substantiates the multiple, serious allegations.
Supports thorough Congressional hearings and criminal referrals where appropriate.
Views the allegations as serious but broad; supports fact-finding and due process.
Prefers a carefully documented, bipartisan investigative process before voting for removal.
Concerned about threshold for conviction in the Senate and collateral governance disruption.
Likely to view the resolution as a partisan, overbroad attack on the presidency.
Sees many allegations as matters of policy or discretionary authority rather than impeachable crimes.
Likely to oppose removal absent incontrovertible, nonpolitical proof.
