Articles of Impeachment against Donald John Trump, President, being read by
U.S. Congressman Shri Thanedar (D) of Michigan
Video is about 58 minutes and covers about 7 Articles of Impeachment.
Rep. Thanedar is being criticized by some other Democrats for doing this.
The VOTE on the Articles of Impeachment against President Trump must be
taken within two days. This puts all of the members of the U.S. House of
Representatives on the public record, for or against President Trump.
Some have made funny back room deals and don’t want anyone to know
what their real position is. This upcoming VOTE in a couple days forces them to take a gamble on how people in the District they each represent feels about the idea of Impeaching President Donald Trump.
Here is a Google artificial intelligence summary of the articles of impeachment against President Trump:
“U.S. Representative Shri Thanedar (D-Michigan) recently introduced and moved to force a House vote on seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Here’s a summary of the articles:
1. Obstruction of Justice and Abuse of Executive Power: Thanedar accuses Trump of obstructing justice by denying due process, unlawfully deporting individuals, defying court orders, and misusing the Department of Justice.
2. Usurpation of Appropriations Power: He alleges that Trump dismantled congressionally established agencies and impounded federal funds without proper authorization.
3. Abuse of Trade Powers and International Aggression: Thanedar claims Trump imposed damaging tariffs, threatened military action against allies, and violated international trade agreements.
4. Violation of First Amendment Rights: He asserts that Trump retaliated against critics, media outlets, and attorneys exercising their free speech rights.
5. Creation of an Unlawful Office: Thanedar argues that Trump created the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and unlawfully empowered Elon Musk to control government agencies.
6. Bribery and Corruption: Thanedar alleges Trump dismissed criminal cases, solicited foreign emoluments, and engaged in extortion for personal and political benefit.
7. Tyrannical Overreach: Thanedar argues that Trump’s actions demonstrate an attempt to consolidate power and undermine democracy.
These articles of impeachment have been met with varied responses, including frustration from some Democrats regarding the forced vote. Thanedar, however, asserts that his actions are crucial for upholding the Constitution and ensuring presidential accountability.”

“Minutes before the House was scheduled for floor votes, Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar announced he would not force a vote to impeach President Donald Trump as he had planned.
Thanedar’s effort had angered not only Republicans, but also Democratic leaders, who said they would work with Republicans to kill his bill.”
