Start impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump. A Strength in Numbers/Verasight poll shows 53% of Americans believe Congress has grounds to impeach him, with only 39% disagreeing. The intensity gap tells the real story: 45% strongly support impeachment versus 30% strongly opposed. These numbers are approaching the 56% peak after January 6, and are comparable to support levels just before Nixon resigned.
Hakeem Jeffries keeps deflecting with "kitchen-table issues" while the constitutional case builds. Grounds are not hard to find — Emoluments Clause violations, war powers abuses, military action against Iran without congressional authorization. The Supreme Court's expansion of executive immunity makes impeachment Congress's most powerful tool to push back against executive overreach. Any House member can introduce an impeachment resolution at any time. That's not a procedural footnote — it's a political weapon sitting unused.
Even 24% of 2024 Trump voters now support impeachment. This is not a fringe position. It's a majority position with crossover appeal, and every day without action is a choice to leave that majority unrepresented.
