16 The House of Representatives on July 16, 2019, 

17 strongly condemned President Donald Trump’s racist 

18 comments that have legitimized and increased fear and ha19 tred of new Americans and people of color by saying that 

20 our fellow Americans who are immigrants, and those who 

21 may look to the President like immigrants, should ‘‘go 

22 back’’ to other countries, by referring to immigrants and 

23 asylum seekers as ‘‘invaders’’ and by saying that Members 

24 of Congress who are immigrants, or those of our col25 leagues who are wrongly assumed to be immigrants, do 

26 not belong in Congress or the United States of America.

2 Trump has, by his statements, brought the high office of 

3 the President of the United States in contempt, ridicule, 

4 disgrace, and disrepute, has sown seeds of discord among 

5 the people of the United States, has demonstrated that 

6 he is unfit to be President, and has betrayed his trust as 

7 President of the United States to the manifest injury of 

8 the people of the United States, and has committed a high 

9 misdemeanor in office. 

10 Therefore, Donald John Trump by causing such 

11 harm to the society of the United States is unfit to be 

12 President and warrants impeachment, trial, and removal
