Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, of high
misdemeanors.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. AL GREEN

July16, 2019
of Texas submitted the following resolution.

RESOLUTION
Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United
States, of high misdemeanors.
Resolved, That Donald John Trump, President of the
United States, is unfit to be President, unfit to represent
the American values of decency and morality, respectability and civility, honesty and propriety, reputability and
integrity, is unfit to defend the ideals that have made
America great, unfit to defend liberty and justice for all
as extolled in the Pledge of Allegiance, is unfit to defend
the American ideal of all persons being created equal as
exalted in the Declaration of Independence, is unfit to ensure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare and

 2

secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity as lauded in the preamble to the United States Constitution, is unfit to protect government of the people, by
the people, for the people as elucidated in the Gettysburg
Address, and is impeached for high misdemeanors, and
that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to
the Senate:
Article of Impeachment exhibited by the House of
Representatives of the United States, in the name of itself
and of the people of the United States, against Donald
John Trump, President of the United States, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for
high misdemeanors committed as President constituting
harm to American society to the manifest injury of the
people of the United States:
ARTICLE I
The House of Representatives, on July 16, 2019,
strongly condemned President Donald

Trump’s racist

comments that have legitimized and increased fear and hatred
of new Americans and people of color by saying that our
fellow Americans who are immigrants, and those who may
look to the President like immigrants, should “go back” to

 3

other countries, by referring to immigrants and asylum seekers
as “invaders,” and by saying that Members of Congress who
are immigrants (or those of our colleagues who are wrongly
assumed to be immigrants) do not belong in Congress or in the
United States of America.

In all of this, the aforementioned Donald John Trump
has, by his statements, brought the high office of the President
of the United States in contempt, ridicule, disgrace and
disrepute, has sown discord among the people of the United
States, has demonstrated that he is unfit to be President, and
has betrayed his trust as President of the United States to the
manifest injury of the people of the United States, and has
committed a high misdemeanor in office.

Therefore, Donald John Trump by causing such harm to
the society of the United States is unfit to be President and
warrants impeachment, trial, and removal from office.
