Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib has drafted a resolution calling for the impeachment of former President Donald Trump. The resolution enumerates seven articles of impeachment against Trump, including inciting an insurrection, willful violation of his oath of office, abuse of power in undermining the election process, corruption of the democratic process, dereliction of duty by ignoring credible evidence of foreign election interference, and obstructing the peaceful transition of power. Tlaib argues that Trump's conduct represents a clear and present danger to American democracy and national security, citing his incitement of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol among other actions aimed at overturning the 2020 election results. While the resolution faces long odds in the current Congress, it signals an intent to hold Trump accountable through constitutional means for his unprecedented defiance of democratic norms and institutions. The grave charges outlined underscore the need for a full public accounting of Trump's extraordinary efforts to retain power despite losing the election.
