harm to American society to the manifest injury of the 
people of the United States: 
ARTICLE I 
In his capacity as President of the United States, un-
mindful of the high duties of his high office and the dig-
nity and proprieties thereof, and of the harmony and cour-
tesies necessary for stability within the society of the 
United States, Donald John Trump has with his state-
ments done more than insult individuals and groups of 
Americans, he has harmed the society of the United 
States, brought shame and dishonor to the office of Presi-
dent of the United States, sowing discord among the peo-
ple of the United States by associating the majesty and 
dignity of the presidency with causes rooted in white su-
premacy, bigotry, racism, anti-Semitism, white nation-
alism, or neo-Nazism on one or more of the following occa-
sions: 
On August 15, 2017, Donald John Trump made a 
widely published statement characterizing a group of anti- 
Semites, bigots, racists, white nationalists, and Ku Klux 
Klansmen who rallied in Charlottesville, Virginia, as ‘‘very 
fine people’’. 
On August 7, 2017, hate groups returned to Char-
lottesville, Virginia, at the statue of Robert E. Lee, the 
Confederate general, chanting ‘‘You will not replace us!’’ 
Since this event on October 7, the President has made

many widely published statements about many things in-
cluding, the National Football League, but has not made 
one widely published statement condemning the hate 
groups for returning to the place where an innocent person 
lost her life at the hands of hate. 
On November 29, 2017, Donald John Trump shared 
3 videos posted by a leader of a British political party 
considered by many to be an extremist group. The videos 
purported to show various violent acts committed by Mus-
lims, and were entitled: ‘‘Muslim migrant beats up Dutch 
boy on crutches!’’; ‘‘Muslim Destroys a Statue of Virgin 
Mary!’’; and ‘‘Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof 
and beats him to death!’’. The clearly inferable intent of 
the post was to demonstrate the alleged propensity of 
Muslim immigrants to engage in violent acts. Even if the 
videos showed what they purport to show, in sharing these 
videos with his 43,800,000 followers on Twitter, Donald 
John Trump’s dissemination of such material evinces an 
invidious intent to create division within American society. 
In all of this, the aforementioned Donald John 
Trump, by his statements, unmindful of the high duties 
of his high office and the dignities and proprieties thereof, 
and of the harmony, respect, and courtesies necessary for 
stability within the society of the United States, has un-
dermined the integrity of his office, has sown discord

among the people of the United States, has brought disre-
pute, contempt, ridicule and disgrace on the Presidency, 
has acted in a manner antithetical to the cause of a just 
society, has betrayed his trust as President to the manifest 
injury of the people of the United States, and committed 
a high misdemeanor in office. 
Therefore, Donald John Trump by causing such 
harm to the society of the United States is unfit to be 
President and warrants impeachment, trial, and removal 
from office. 
ARTICLE II 
In his capacity as President of the United States, un-
mindful of the high duties of his high office, of the dignity 
and proprieties thereof, and of the harmony, and respect 
necessary for stability within the society of the United 
States, Donald John Trump has with his statements done 
more than simply insult individuals and groups of Ameri-
cans, he has harmed the American society by publicly cast-
ing contempt on individuals and groups, inciting hate and 
hostility, sowing discord among the people of the United 
States, on the basis of race, national origin, religion, gen-
der, and sexual orientation, on one or more of the fol-
lowing occasions: 
On January 27, 2017, Donald John Trump issued 
Executive Order 13769 providing for a partial shutdown 
of immigration from mainly Muslim countries, to fulfill a
