                               RESOLUTION


 
 Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States for high 
                        crimes and misdemeanors.

    Resolved, That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, 
is an abuser of Presidential power who, if left in office, will 
continue to promote the incitement of violence, engender invidious 
hate, undermine our democracy, and dissolve our Republic, that he is 
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following 
articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:
     Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives 
of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people 
of the United States of America, against Donald J. Trump, President of 
the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its 
impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.

article i: abuse of presidential power by calling for the execution of 
                          members of congress

    In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, 
Donald John Trump, in violation of his constitutional oath to 
faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States 
and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the 
Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his 
constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, 
has unfaithfully, dangerously, and unconstitutionally abused his 
official position by threatening Democratic lawmakers in Congress with 
execution.
    President Trump called for the execution of six Democratic 
lawmakers, all of whom are currently serving in the U.S. Senate or U.S. 
House of Representatives and who previously served in the U.S. Military 
or in U.S. Intelligence communities, in response to a short video that 
they posted on November 18, 2025. In their video, the Democratic 
lawmakers appropriately urged current members of the military and 
intelligence communities to adhere to the Constitution and the laws of 
our country. They specifically said: ``Like us, you all swore an oath 
to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our 
Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at 
home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse 
illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out 
orders that violate the law or our Constitution.''
    On November 20, 2025, in response, President Trump called for their 
execution. In one social media post, he wrote: ``It's called SEDITIOUS 
BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our 
Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be 
allowed to stand--We won't have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE 
SET. President DJT.'' In another, he wrote of the lawmakers: 
``SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!'' Dangerously and 
unconstitutionally, he reposted a third party's post: ``HANG THEM 
GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!!''
    President Trump's call for the execution of lawmakers is a reckless 
and flagrant abuse of Presidential power that promotes extra-judicial 
punishment and the assassination of Members of Congress, and warrants 
impeachment by the U.S. House of Representatives and trial by the 
Senate.

article ii: abuse of presidential power to intimidate federal judges in 
violation of the separation of powers and independence of the judiciary

    In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, 
Donald John Trump, in violation of his constitutional oath to 
faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to 
the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution 
of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to 
take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has unfaithfully, 
dangerously, and unconstitutionally abused his official position by 
threatening Federal judges.
    President Trump has fostered a political climate in which lawmakers 
and judges face threats of political violence and physical assault; and 
in this climate has made threats and vituperative comments against 
Federal judges, putting at risk their safety and well-being, and 
undermining the independence of our judiciary.
    Case in point, in response to a Federal district court ruling with 
which President Trump disagreed, he posted: ``This Radical Left Lunatic 
of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by 
Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President . . . This judge, like 
many of the Crooked Judges' I am forced to appear before, should be 
IMPEACHED!!!''
    Another U.S. District Chief Judge has reported receiving increased 
numbers of violent threats, particularly after he began hearing 
arguments in a lawsuit against the Trump administration.
    In 2025, roughly a third of the Federal judiciary has been flooded 
with threats, with data showing that these threats spike each time 
Trump uses abusive rhetoric against judges.
    On May 2, 2025, Reuters reported that U.S. Supreme Court Justice 
Ketanji Brown Jackson addressed President Donald Trump's attacks on the 
judiciary. The relevant part of the article stated as follows:
            ``(1) ``U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson 
        said on Thursday attacks by Republican President Donald Trump 
        and his allies on judges were `not random' and seemed `designed 
        to intimidate the judiciary.''
            ``(2) Specifically, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Jackson 
        remarked that, ``The attacks are not random. They seem designed 
        to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical 
        capacity.''
            ``(3) Justice Jackson added, ``The threats and harassment 
        are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And 
        they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution and the rule 
        of law.''.
    The judiciary is afforded power over ``all Cases, in Law and 
Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, 
and Treaties made'' and ``to Controversies to which the United States 
shall be a Party.'' U.S. Const. art. III, sec. 2. Intimidating judges, 
and recklessly calling for the impeachment and removal of judges who 
disagree with him demonstrate a willingness by Trump to usurp authority 
afforded by our Constitution to the judiciary and demonstrate a 
disregard for the Constitution and the careful balance of powers that 
protects our country from abuses by any single branch.
    President Trump's threats place the lives of Federal judges, court 
officials, and innocent bystanders at risk, promote the incitement of 
violence, and undermine our democracy, which cannot survive where 
President Trump's incendiary comments engender invidious hate and where 
dissent is punishable by death.
    In all of this, Donald John Trump has acted in a manner contrary to 
his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government to 
the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest 
injury of the people of the United States.
    Wherefore Donald John Trump, by such conduct, warrants impeachment, 
trial, and removal from office.
