Michigan Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar announced Monday, 4/28 he had filed articles of impeachment against President Trump.

“I have introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump,” Thanedar said in his announcement online. “When Trump ignores the Constitution, Congress, and the courts, he is not ‘fighting for America.’ He is tearing it down and endangering our democracy.”

Thanedar said he was introducing seven articles of impeachment against Trump for various actions, including the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man mistakenly sent to El Salvador, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cutting funds without congressional approval.

Republican support (4 Republican votes) would be needed to win a vote on the articles. The Republican Party retains control of the House of Representatives, continuing its majority from the previous term. Republicans currently hold 218 seats while the Democrats have 215. The House votes on whether to impeach a president, while the Senate votes on whether to convict a president. In the Senate, where the GOP also has a majority, a two-thirds majority is needed to win a conviction (I believe this would be every Democrat's vote plus 19 Republican votes).
