Mr. Green of Texas submitted the following resolution; which was

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.
