Congress: Consider Four Articles of Impeachment Against President Trump

The Constitution does not place the President above the law, and no President may exercise the powers of that office without accountability.

We call upon Members of the United States House of Representatives to introduce and formally consider four proposed Articles of Impeachment against President Donald J. Trump, supported by documented judicial findings, government investigations, congressional actions, and other public records.

The proposed resolution identifies four categories of alleged presidential misconduct:

Article I — Abuse of Presidential Power and Obstruction of Justice. Disregard of binding judicial orders and denial of constitutional due process.

Article II — Usurpation of Congressional Authority. Unlawful withholding of funds appropriated by Congress and encroachment upon Congress's constitutional war powers.

Article III — Retaliatory Use of Executive Authority. Use of presidential powers against legal professionals and the removal of independent government watchdogs in violation of statutory safeguards.

Article IV — Corruption, Self-Enrichment, and Abuse of Public Trust. Commercialization of presidential access and conflicts arising from private financial relationships with foreign government-connected investors.

Why four Articles instead of one—or thirty?

Because impeachment should be neither a generalized expression of political opposition nor an indiscriminate catalog of every disputed presidential action.  One sweeping accusation would obscure the distinct constitutional violations at issue. Thirty separate accusations could dilute the strongest evidence and turn a serious constitutional proceeding into an argument over individual grievances.

These four Articles organize nine specific charges into four coherent constitutional grounds, each capable of independent examination. The proposed resolution is accompanied by a developing evidentiary report identifying the supporting records, relevant law, and questions requiring further investigation.

We ask a Member of the House of Representatives to introduce this resolution, and the House Judiciary Committee to examine the evidence, hold hearings, and determine whether these Articles warrant a vote by the full House.  This petition is not a declaration of guilt. It is a demand for constitutional accountability through the processes established by the United States Constitution.
