Impeach Donald J. Trump, for high crimes and misdemeanors

I am writing to demand that you take immediate and public action to support the impeachment of Donald J. Trump. On April 28, 2025, Representative Shri Thanedar of Michigan introduced H.Res.1292 — Impeaching Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. This resolution outlines seven distinct articles detailing grave constitutional violations that demand accountability: 1. Obstruction of Justice and Abuse of Executive Power: Trump defied lawful court orders, carried out unlawful deportations, and misused the Department of Justice to retaliate against political adversaries. 2. Usurpation of Congress’s Appropriations Power: He dismantled congressionally mandated programs and illegally impounded funds to bypass the legislative branch. 3. Abuse of Trade Powers and International Threats: He imposed tariffs recklessly and made unauthorized threats of military aggression toward sovereign nations. 4. Violation of First Amendment Rights: Trump punished critics—including media, citizens, and attorneys—for exercising protected free speech. 5. Creation of an Unlawful Office: He empowered Elon Musk to lead an extralegal Department of Government Efficiency, enabling policy decisions that openly violated the Constitution. 6. Bribery and Corruption: Trump engaged in extortionate settlements, dismissed criminal cases for personal gain, and solicited foreign emoluments in violation of the Constitution. 7. Tyrannical Overreach: He has pursued unchecked executive power, dismantled civil liberties, and undermined the constitutional limits of the presidency. You now face a moral and constitutional choice. Failing to support this resolution signals far more than political allegiance—it brands you a collaborator with a man who has repeatedly and deliberately sought to dismantle the constitutional order of the United States. You took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Uphold it now. Stand on the side of democracy, law, and history. Support H.Res.1292 and make it clear that no president is above the law.
