Here, Here ...  

 
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.

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.

For so many reasons, too. First let me say I would have voted for impeachment for multiple reasons in the past as he is evil and has acted like a criminal, particularly re: the Georgia election with him asking them to "find 11,000 votes." Clearly Trump was trying to rig that election, as well as his nifty idea for "fake electors." He doesn't give a turd about the constitution, but that has already been thoroughly established.
.
We have gone down this road twice, and on neither occasion was he removed from office. So what possible good will it do to fail a third time???? There is close to a ZERO chance, as I type this, that there is enough votes to get it out of the house and less than that of a conviction in the senate. All of this just plays into Trump claiming to be a victim.
.
And dont get me started on Al Green. He is NOT the type of person that needs to lead this charge. He is viewed by many moderates and Indy's as a whack job. If and when the day comes to impeach Trump a third time, we need people like Slotkin of Michigan on board.
.
Another failed attempt at impeachment will make our side look unhinged and to do this, this early in this term, looks like desperation. Sadly, the Democratic brand is badly damaged and that isnt "righties" saying it but people like Newsome, Axelrod, Carville and the like. We need to get our house in order before the midterms.
.
Everything we do now should be to get back the middle class, the blue collar people who used to vote Dem in droves just 10 years ago. We lost them to...Trump. Let that sink in a bit. Those people want policies that Dems can deliver as we used to, and still can in the future, and be that party of the working class.
.
Impeachment, at least for now, and things could change, is not the answer. We should beat him down on inflation, low consumer confidence he created, his crashing poll numbers, his inability to end the war in Ukraine on "day one" etc etc etc. Another impeachment loss will just embolden MAGA even more and we dont need to help them. I understand your frustration but this isnt the way forward. It's just more of the same.

I don't think they're going to be impeaching him until Democrats win back the House and Senate in the mid-terms.  There are any number of valid reasons to do it.  Dis-obeying the Supreme Court to facilitate the return of Abrego being just one of them.  Actively destroying the USA economy another.
