Invoke Rule IX on H. Res. 1155 Now
To: Rep. Craig
From: A constituent in Rosemount, MN
August 17
Invoke Rule IX on H. Res. 1155. You filed 13 articles of impeachment against Donald Trump in April — H. Res. 1155 — and then did nothing with them. On July 1, Air Force Major Jason Paul Watson became the first active duty officer in history to publicly demand impeachment, conviction, and removal. He put a 17-year military career on the line and was arrested for peacefully protesting on the steps of the Capitol. He acted. You haven't.
Rule IX gives any member of Congress the power to force a floor vote on articles of impeachment regardless of who holds the majority. The claim that your hands are tied is false. You have the tool. You have the articles. What you're missing is the will to use them. Honor Major Watson's sacrifice — invoke Rule IX on H. Res. 1155 now, while the House is in session.
