A proposal for the impeachment of US President Donald Trump has been submitted to the House of Representatives, Michigan Congressman Shri Thanedar reports.
"I have introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump. When Trump ignores the Constitution, Congress, and the courts, he is not 'fighting for America.' He is tearing it down and endangering our democracy," the congressman stated.
Thanedar noted that he submitted seven articles of impeachment, in which Trump is accused of a number of serious violations.
Among the accusations brought forward is the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who, according to Thanedar, was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
The congressman also accuses Trump of illegally cutting budgetary expenditures for certain government agencies through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) without permission from Congress.
Among other grounds for impeachment, Thanedar cited Trump's aggressive tariff policies that harmed the international economy, pressure on the media, violation of the First Amendment of the US Constitution (guaranteeing freedom of speech), bribery, interference in the judiciary, and the illegal collection of citizens' personal data.
"Article 7 - tyrannical outreach. Finally and most importantly, he (Trump - ed.) is attempting to consolidate unchecked power and erode the constitutional limits of the presidency. In this country, we have presidents, not kings. That's not just misconduct, it is impeachable misconduct," Thanedar emphasized.
Trump Declares Third Term Ambitions Against Constitutional Limits
What is impeachment
Impeachment (from the English "impeachment" - distrust, from the Latin "impedivi" - to impede, to stop) is the procedure of judicial accusation, including criminal charges, against municipal or state officials, up to and including the head of state, with their possible subsequent removal from office.
According to Section IV of Article II of the US Constitution, impeachment involves holding federal officials and the president accountable by removing them from office if "they are found guilty of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
For impeachment to be declared, a conviction with accusations must be approved by both the House of Representatives and the US Senate.
During the Senate trial, the House acts as the prosecution, while the senators effectively become jury members. For impeachment to succeed, the support of at least two-thirds of the senators (at least 67 is required.)
Demands for Trump's impeachment
At the beginning of April, Democratic Congressman Al Green announced his intention to submit an impeachment project against Trump. In Green's opinion, Trump does not deserve to hold the office of the head of the White House.
Meanwhile, numerous rallies demanding the impeachment and resignation of the current president have been taking place across the United States.
