Violations of the Emoluments Clauses - IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!
2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
I am writing to urge Congress to open an impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump based on his violations of the Emoluments Clauses of the United States Constitution. These clauses—Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, and Article II, Section 1, Clause 7—are critical safeguards designed by the Founders to protect our democracy from corruption, particularly by foreign powers.
President Trump’s refusal to divest from his business holdings represents a direct and ongoing violation of these constitutional provisions. Specifically, at least five foreign governments are reported to pay a combined $2 million per month in fees for their units in Trump World Tower. By accepting these payments while serving as president, Trump has violated the Foreign Emoluments Clause from the moment he took the oath of office.
This clear conflict of interest undermines the integrity of the executive branch and threatens the principles of transparency and accountability that are essential to our democracy. Congress must act decisively by initiating impeachment proceedings to fulfill its constitutional duty to safeguard democracy and hold the president accountable for his actions.
Failure to act risks setting a dangerous precedent that weakens public trust in our government and allows corruption to go unchecked. The American people are counting on their elected representatives to protect the rule of law and the foundations of our democracy. The time to act is now.
I respectfully request that you take this matter seriously and work to uphold the integrity of our nation’s highest office.
Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.
