Since taking office, Trump has committed a growing list of impeachable offenses. Unless and until Congress takes its constitutional impeachment obligations seriously, Trump will continue to entrench his corrupt interests, usurp authority committed by the Constitution to other government branches, and abuse his power to the detriment of our democracy and the people of our country.&nbsp;Specifically, Congress must launch an impeachment investigation into Trump for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Planning the forced removal of Palestinians in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Abusing his power to seek retribution against perceived adversaries<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Co-opting and dismantling independent government oversight<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Unconstitutionally usurping Congress\u2019s power<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Defying court orders and unconstitutionally usurping judicial authority<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Receiving foreign and domestic emoluments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Depriving citizens of their birthright citizenship<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. Corruptly dismissing criminal charges against Eric Adams<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9. Abusing the pardon power<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10. Abusing the emergency power<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11. Blocking efforts to secure U.S. elections<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12.

James Madison cautioned that elections alone are insufficient, especially for the President: \u201cThe limitation of the period of his service, was not a sufficient security\u2026 He might pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation or oppression. He might betray his trust to foreign powers\u2026 In the case of the Executive Magistracy which was to be administered by a single man, loss of capacity or corruption was more within the compass of probable events, and either of them might be fatal to the Republic.\u201d James Madison, Notes of the Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Framers also understood that the impeachment process can also address corrupt acts in obtaining the office. George Mason asked rhetorically: \u201cShall the man who has practised corruption and by that means procured his appointment in the first instance, be suffered to escape punishment, by repeating his guilt?\u201d (In 2010, Federal Judge Thomas Porteous was impeached and convicted largely based on conduct that occurred before he assumed federal office \u2013 including making false statements to the Senate and FBI in connection with his nomination and confirmation.) The Constitution Demands It: The Case for the Impeachment of Donald Trump, by Ron Fein, John Bonifaz, and Ben Clements, foreword by John Nichols (Melville House 2018), p. 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a President commits an impeachable offense \u2013 whether through corrupt acts in reaching the office, whether on the first day of their term, or whether on any day thereafter during their term \u2013 Congress has a constitutional duty to impeach him. We The People therefore call upon Congress to meet its obligations, and to join us in committing to the idea that our Constitution, when read properly and followed faithfully, protects everyone from abuses of power, even abuses by those holding the highest offices in the land.Tell Congress: Impeach Trump. Again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump&#8217;s return to the White House poses an unprecedented risk for our democracy. During his campaign and in the months between his election and inauguration, Trump has threatened to engage in unlawful, unconstitutional conduct. He has once more positioned himself to abuse the office for personal profit and power in violation of clear constitutional commands and at the expense of our democratic institutions, constitutional precedent, and the safety of our country&#8217;s most vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free Speech For People is calling on Congress to launch an<strong>immediate impeachment investigation<\/strong>&nbsp;to determine whether there are sufficient grounds to impeach Donald Trump for offenses that have already occurred and that will continue in the days to come. Congress must also be prepared to&nbsp;<strong>expand its investigation<\/strong>&nbsp;if Trump undertakes any of the other impeachable actions that he has threatened to carry out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump is not a monarch.
