Impeach Trump and Hegseth for Qatari Base Deal and Emoluments Violations
21 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!
I am writing to express my profound alarm over President Trump's decision to allow Qatar to open a military base in Idaho for F-15 pilot training. This move, coupled with his acceptance of a $400 million jet from the Qatari government, represents a grave threat to our national security and a blatant violation of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause.
The sequence of events strongly suggests a quid pro quo arrangement, which is not only unethical but potentially treasonous. President Trump's acceptance of an extravagant gift from a foreign government, followed by granting that same government unprecedented military access to U.S. soil, is a clear abuse of power and a violation of his oath of office.
Qatar's questionable human rights record and alleged ties to terrorism funding make this decision even more egregious. Allowing such a nation to establish a military presence in America not only jeopardizes our security but also betrays our fundamental values and long-standing foreign policy objectives.
In light of these latest actions, I firmly believe that Congress must immediately initiate impeachment proceedings against President Trump, Secretary Pete Hegseth, and anyone else involved in this egregious violation of our national security. This is not a matter of partisan politics; it is about protecting the integrity of our democracy and the safety of our nation.
I urge you to take swift and decisive action:
1. Launch a comprehensive congressional investigation into the acceptance of the Qatari jet and the subsequent military base deal.
2. Introduce or support legislation to block the Qatari military base in Idaho.
3. Begin impeachment proceedings against all officials involved in this scandal.
4. Strengthen laws preventing foreign influence in our government, particularly those related to the Emoluments Clause.
The American people deserve leaders who prioritize national interests over personal gain. This latest move by the administration is unacceptable, illegal, and a clear violation of the public trust. We cannot allow foreign governments to buy influence or military presence in the United States.
Time is of the essence. Every day this deal remains in place is another day our national security is compromised. I implore you to act now to uphold the rule of law, protect our nation's interests, and hold those responsible for this betrayal accountable. The very foundations of our democracy depend on your immediate and resolute action.
