šØ An open letter to the U.S. Congress š½ IMPEACH TRUMP. AGAIN. āļø 120 so far!Ā Help us get to 250 signers!
Beginning Day 1 of Trumpās second administration, Congress must open an impeachment investigation based on the following grounds:
1. Violations of the Emoluments Clauses The Emoluments Clauses (U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8; and Article II, Section 1, Clause 7) prohibit presidents from profiting from foreign or domestic governments. The Founders understood these clauses to provide a critical safeguard against corruption, particularly corruption of the executive by foreign powers. Trump has violated these clauses by refusing to divest from his business holdings. At least five foreign governments pay a combined $2 million per month in fees for their units in Trump World Tower; and because all five of these foreign governments are currently paying Trump these monthly fees, Trump is in violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause from the moment he took the oath of office.
2. Corrupt and Unlawful Campaign Practices Trumpās 2024 re-election campaign included violations such as offering regulatory favors to oil and gas executives for donations, coordinating unlawfully with super PACs, and accepting prohibited contributions from Elon Musk via X (formerly known as Twitter) and via Muskās million-dollar ālotteryā scheme that paid out prizes only to individuals who would publicly support Trump. He also engaged in racist, xenophobic rhetoric by referring to immigrants in Aurora, Colorado as āblood thirty criminalsā from whom voters have to be ārescuedā, threatened physical violence, including murder, against political opponents, a U.S. military commander, journalists, and protesters, and spread dangerous disinformation about U.S. hurricane disaster response among other things.
3. Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Justice Trumpās pardons for January 6 insurrectionistsāincluding seditious conspiratorsāconstitute an abuse of the pardon power. Trump himself engaged in insurrection on January 6, 2021, inciting hundreds of violent insurrectionists to storm the Capitol in order to try to overturn an election that he lost. His co-insurrectionists seized control of the Capitol, disrupted the peaceful transfer of power, assaulted law enforcement and journalists, vandalized the Capitol and individual congressional offices, and threatened the lives and safety of our elected officials and law enforcement. He has blocked investigations and accountability efforts, shielding himself and allies from the consequences of their actions in the insurrection. In the face of a president abusing his power, as he has done here, Congress has a responsibility to follow the mandate of Article II, Section 4 (the Impeachment Clause) of the US Constitution and initiate an impeachment inquiry.
Congress must act decisively: By initiating impeachment proceedings, Congress will uphold its constitutional duty to safeguard democracy and hold the president accountable. Failure to act risks setting a dangerous precedent and further eroding public trust. The time to act is now.
