Immediate Impeachment Investigation — Constitutional Violations by the President

This letter constitutes a formal demand that Congress immediately initiate impeachment investigations into alleged unconstitutional and impeachable conduct by the President during his second term. The Constitution does not permit Congress to look away when executive power is abused. Article II, Section 4 mandates impeachment for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors,” a category long understood to include abuse of power, obstruction of oversight, and violations of constitutional rights. You swore an oath to uphold the Constitution—not to protect any individual who violates it. Based on publicly reported actions, official statements, and documented executive conduct, the following alleged impeachable offenses require immediate investigation: 1. Abuse of Power Allegation: The President has allegedly used the authority of the executive branch to retaliate against political opponents, critics, journalists, and private citizens. Constitutional Basis: • Article II, Section 1 (Executive power held in trust, not for personal use) • Federalist No. 65 (Hamilton: impeachment applies to abuses of public trust) Abusing federal power to punish dissent is a classic high crime and misdemeanor. 2. Obstruction of Congress Allegation: The President has allegedly directed executive officials to defy lawful subpoenas, refuse testimony, and withhold documents from congressional oversight. Constitutional Basis: • Article I, Section 1 (All legislative powers vested in Congress) • Article I, Section 8 (Oversight implied as necessary and proper) • McGrain v. Daugherty (1927) — Congress’s subpoena power is essential to legislation Obstruction of Congress was an article of impeachment against Presidents Nixon and Trump and remains per se impeachable. 3. Violation of the Take Care Clause Allegation: The President has allegedly refused to faithfully execute laws passed by Congress while selectively enforcing others for personal or political gain. Constitutional Basis: • Article II, Section 3 — “He shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” A President does not possess discretion to ignore statutes he dislikes. 4. Politicization and Misuse of Federal Agencies Allegation: Federal agencies have allegedly been pressured or directed to act in service of the President’s political or personal interests rather than the public good. Constitutional Basis: • Article II, Section 1 (Oath to faithfully execute the office) • Due Process Clause — Fifth Amendment Weaponizing federal agencies for personal or partisan ends is corruption of executive authority. 5. Threats to Free Speech and a Free Press Allegation: The President has allegedly engaged in conduct and rhetoric intended to intimidate journalists, chill dissent, and punish constitutionally protected speech. Constitutional Basis: • First Amendment — Freedom of speech and of the press • New York Times Co. v. United States (1971) A President who undermines the First Amendment violates the core foundation of American democracy. 6. Abuse of Commander-in-Chief Authority / Endangerment of National Security Allegation: The President has allegedly engaged in reckless or unauthorized military or foreign policy actions exceeding statutory or constitutional authority. Constitutional Basis: • Article I, Section 8 (Congress holds war powers) • Article II, Section 2 (Commander-in-Chief authority is not unlimited) • War Powers Resolution of 1973 No President may unilaterally endanger lives or bypass Congress for political theater. 7. Corruption and Conflicts of Interest Allegation: The President has allegedly continued to benefit personally or financially from the presidency and failed to meaningfully separate private interests from public office. Constitutional Basis: • Article II, Section 1 (Presidential oath) • Emoluments Clauses: • Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 (Foreign Emoluments) • Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 (Domestic Emoluments) The presidency is not a business venture. 8. Encouragement or Normalization of Lawless Conduct Allegation: The President has allegedly encouraged or legitimized threats, violence, or disregard for lawful authority. Constitutional Basis: • Article II, Section 3 (Duty to preserve public order) • Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) (Limits on incitement) A President who fuels lawlessness violates the public trust. Each allegation independently raises serious constitutional violations. Taken together, they describe a presidency operating without regard for legal limits. Impeachment is not partisan warfare. It is constitutional enforcement. Congress was created to restrain executive abuse—not excuse it. Delay, silence, or refusal to investigate is not neutrality. It is abdication. Your oath demands action.
