house Bill H. Res. 755

Should the House Impeach President Donald Trump?

Argument in favor

President Trump abused his office by conditioning foreign aid to Ukraine and a White House visit for its new president on investigations into Trump’s political opponent and then obstructing Congress’s efforts to investigate. He must be impeached, convicted, and removed from office to end the threat his misconduct poses to the future of constitutional government in the U.S.

Trump's numerous and flagrant abuses of power are precisely what the Framers had in mind as grounds for Impeaching & Removing a president. The case for Impeachment & Removal is beyond overwhelming. Trump is the most criminally corrupt president in US history.

There is no question that Trump ordered his people to defy Congressional Subpeona. It’s a egregious violation of the law and undermines the constitutionally mandated role of oversight by Congress. You can’t just ignore subpoenas.

There has never been, nor, we should pray, should there every be another President of the United States of America as corrupt, as morally bankrupt, as purely odious as Trump.

Argument opposed

Democrats have been working to impeach President Trump since his election and their ultimate goal is to negate his 2016 electoral victory and stop his re-election in 2020. Their efforts to impeach President Trump are based on the accusations and assumptions of unelected bureaucrats. Democrats shouldn’t pursue a partisan impeachment when we’re entering an election year.

It is Congress that has not upheld its duty to the people. Three years of little done but seek to destroy this President. How much has it cost us taxpayers?

This vote is totally and outrageously wrong! Our President has done nothing wrong! He does uphold the Constitution. The Democrats are liars and cheaters!!! They had to dig really deep to do this illegal act!!! Let the people vote for who they want for President. They Democrats are truly against this President from the beginning and they are trying to tell us our votes don’t count. They work for us, they are threatening people to get the vote they want, they can’t accept the truth! This is totally political and a hate for a person who won fair and square! No doubt about it!!! We love our President! Prayerfully, God Bless America🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Democrats have been looking to impeach Trump since the election. If you don’t see this for the sham that it is then you are an idiot or a liar.

    "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." That is the oath that our congressmen and women take. President Donald J. Trump is an enemy of the Constitution. Our representatives MUST uphold their oath to protect the Constitution from Pres. Trump and his lackeys.

    Dear God, what more will the GOP allow him to do? No one in their right mind would vote to allow this very dangerous and unstable man to run this country. He is destroying this country because he CLEARLY has put his own selfish needs ahead of those of the country. He's in bed with tyrants and dictators because that is what he wants to be himself and the GOP is allowing it. I cannot believe that the GOP IS STILL BEING SO STUBBORN AND PIGHEADED to see what is happening. 45 is a 2 year old and BEHAVES like a 2 year old. Is that really who should be running the country? The most immature man has "THE CODES" and ALL Americans should be very afraid. HIS BEHAVIOR FROM DAY 1 INDICATES HE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE POTUS. HIS BEHAVIOR FROM DAY 1 INDICATES THAT ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS HIMSELF. How the GOP can't see this is beyond me. I stood up to my bully bosses, why can't the GOP do the same???? Cowards!

    President Trump abused his power in order to rig the election in his favor and cast an allied nation in a negative light because he was bitter about conspiracy theories regarding this country. Ukraine did nothing wrong, they did not interfere in the 2016 election, and they should not have faced a hold on vital military aid to protect the ego and the election success of Trump. Trump also obstructed Congressional oversight and investigation in a way never before seen in our Republic. Congress is a co-equal branch of government and shall not be obstructed in order to preserve the checks and balances enshrined in our Constitution. For these two offenses, Trump should be impeached, and a full trial conducted in the Senate.

    Just do it! Been waiting for this for sometime. Hopefully our Chief Justice will have some clout in making the Senate trial at least appear to be righteous. The man is not only a self-serving authoritarian and a vindictive spiteful SOB, his recent letter to Pelosi proves that he is actually mentally deranged, a classic narcissistic sociopath. His drive to get even with anyone who ever disagrees with him will expose this country to unthinkable acts of vengeance from an administration that cannot be held in check for even wanton violations of Constitutional principles or his oath of office. I for one, would not mind a Salem Witch hunt trial, that he argues would be fairer. I think it had something to do with water and if he floats he is guilty; if not, he must have been innocent. There are relatives of immigrant children who died while in his cages, people who were killed by a Supremacist inspired by trump’s hateful rhetoric, or our suddenly abandoned Kurdish allies left to be slaughtered- who would likely support this as well. Not to mention the huge number of career civil servants high and low whose careers he has trashed out of spite and greed. Impeach, REMOVE.

    Impeach trump. (Have we noticed that every GOP Representative speaking in this impeachment debate is a white male? While the Democrats have women and people of color speaking for impeachment of trump.). All appearances aside - it’s very evident trump must be impeached and removed for egregious conduct that threatens our democracy. We must see every elected representative uphold her/his oath and vote to impeach trump.

    Donald Trump is a liar who has led an adulterous life of corruption. As President he has lied daily, weakened our leadership in the world, added almost 2 trillion dollars to our national debt, diminished our healthcare, reduced taxes for only the wealthy, ignored science and removed protections for our air and water. Trump has failed to pursue clean energy or act to fight climate change. Trump is allowing public lands to be rapaciously exploited by corporations. Significantly he has openly offered bribes to foreign countries, abused his power of office

    The Constitution needs to be defended against Presidents who act like kings...Nixon, Trump. Trump committed high crimes, working with a foreign government to assist in his re-election and obstruction of a legal inquiry into impeachment. Plus, he is a name calling and insulting bully of anyone who disagrees with him or he dislikes.

    Yes, the House should impeach President Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress' constitutional responsibility to exercise oversight of the Executive. Moreover, all those Republicans in both House and Senate who have apparently been cowed by Mr Trump's daily tweet rants into behaving like slavish yes-men should remember their own oaths to respect the Constitution and serve the nation, not just to protect their own self-interest. Let's have some public servants who do their duty to vote on the facts, not the propaganda narratives spewed by certain individuals in the White House and the House. Based on my reading of all the evidence I've read from both the Mueller Report and the House impeachment investigation, I would hope to see greater than 90% of both House and Senate vote for impeachment and removal from office. Don't disappoint me!

It appears that the issue will not be the House but the Republican controlled Senate. We have become so fragmented that Congress has lost their ability to police the president. We could be entering the age of the Imperial presidency and the reign of King Donald the First. Be afraid, be very afraid... #RjGonCountable

    Why is it only the Democrats who are concerned about Article 1 powers? Why does the GOP not care that Donald Trump is in flagrant violation of the Constitution?If a Democratic president refused congressional subpoenas, I guarantee the GOP would be up in arms, and it’s this GOP hypocrisy that I cannot tolerate but hope every single voter sees with wide open eyes.
