Thirteen articles of impeachment have been introduced against President Trump, covering a sweeping range of alleged constitutional violations. The charges include usurping Congress's war power by initiating military action against Iran and Venezuela without authorization, militarizing domestic law enforcement to intimidate peaceful protesters, unconstitutional detentions and deportations, retaliating against protected political speech, abusing the pardon power to benefit insurrectionists and political allies, dismantling consumer and environmental protections, refusing to spend congressionally appropriated funds, obstructing congressional oversight, weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents, firing Inspectors General without required notice, attempting to strip birthright citizenship in violation of the 14th Amendment, declaring specious national emergencies, and profiting from the presidency in violation of the emoluments clauses. The resolution was referred to the Judiciary Committee. As a House resolution, it does not require Senate approval to initiate proceedings, but removal from office would require a two-thirds Senate vote.

  • The resolution alleges multiple civil liberties violations including suppression of constitutionally protected speech, militarization of domestic law enforcement to intimidate peaceful protest, unconstitutional detentions and deportations, stripping birthright citizenship, and weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents.
