secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our pos-
terity as lauded in the preamble to the United States Con-
stitution, is unfit to protect government of the people, by 
the people, for the people as elucidated in the Gettysburg

Article of Impeachment exhibited by the House of 
Representatives of the United States, in the name of itself 
and of the people of the United States, against Donald 
John Trump, President of the United States, in mainte-
nance and support of its impeachment against him for 
high misdemeanors committed as President constituting 
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, 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 bigoted state-
ments done more than simply insult individuals and 
groups of Americans, he has harmed the American society 
by attempting to convert his bigoted statements into 
United States policy and by associating the presidency and

the people of the United States with bigotry on one or 
more of the following 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 
bigoted campaign promise that read as follows: ‘‘DON-
ALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON PREVENTING 
MUSLIM IMMIGRATION (New York, NY) December 
7th, 2015—Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and 
complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States 
until our country’s representatives can figure out what’s 
going on,’’ thereby attempting to convert a bigoted cam-
paign promise into United States policy, associating the 
presidency and the people of the United States with big-
otry, thereby casting contempt upon Muslims, inciting 
hate and hostility, and sowing discord among the people 
of the United States on the basis of religion. 
On July 26, 2017, Donald John Trump made a pub-
lic statement substantially as follows: ‘‘After consulting 
with my Generals and military experts, please be advised 
that the United States Government will not accept or 
allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in 
the U.S. Military. Our military must be focused on deci-
sive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened 
with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that

transgender in the military would entail,’’ thereby at-
tempting to convert his bigoted statement into United 
States policy, associating the presidency and the people 
of the United States with bigotry, thereby casting con-
tempt on transgender individuals, inciting hate and hos-
tility, and sowing discord among the people of the United 
States on the basis of gender. 
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,’’ thereby associating the presidency and the 
people of the United States with bigotry. 
On October 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!’’ 
after having chanted in their August Charlottesville rally 
that ‘‘Jews will not replace us!’’. Since this event on Octo-
ber 7, the President has made widely-published statements 
about many issues, including 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 January 11, 2018, Donald John Trump held a 
meeting with a bipartisan group of Congressional leaders
