President Biden’s decision to deplete the SPR is un-
necessary, since the United States had already materially 
demonstrated that it was energy-independent and fully ca-
pable of producing sufficient amounts of crude oil domesti-
cally under the Trump administration. 
These actions demonstrate a concerted effort to de-
prive the United States of its energy stability and security 
while providing other nations with essential goods and 
services. 
President Biden’s decision to ban United States im-
ports of Russian oil has provided Russia with more rea-
sons to sell oil to India and China, increasing the economic 
ties between those nations and empowering the strength 
of the Russian ruble as the United States dollar declines. 
Russia has amassed $13,000,000,000 in additional 
oil revenue from India and China in 2022, compared to 
the same period in 2021. 
President Biden’s decision to send crude oil from the 
SPR to China is a blatantly strategic sabotage against the 
United States, a move which will only serve to assist Chi-
na’s ascendancy to displace the United States as the global 
economic and military hegemon. 
China is likely to use the oil received from the SPR 
to empower its military to invade Taiwan at a future date.

The White House Press Secretary stated in July 
2022, that she was not aware of the reports outlining the 
transfer of SPR barrels to China, indisputably the United 
States’ major geopolitical adversary. 
These actions demonstrate that the Biden adminis-
tration has intentionally aided and abetted foreign powers 
rather than address the rising economic burdens faced by 
millions of citizens of the United States. 
ARTICLE III 
President Biden’s decision to liquidate the SPR 
plainly shows his disdain for the plight of citizens of the 
United States who are facing the worst inflationary crisis 
since June 1981. 
Citizens of the United States are struggling to afford 
basic goods and services because of the rampant inflation 
caused by Democrat’s out-of-control spending and the 
Federal Reserve’s loose monetary policy. 
The following increases in the average retail food and 
energy prices, according to the Bureau of Labor and Sta-
tistics, since July of 2021, includes— 
(1) flour by 44.8-percent; 
(2) chicken by 31-percent; 
(3) rice by 18.8-percent; 
(4) milk by 14.6-percent; bread by 14-percent; 
(5) ground beef by 11.5-percent;

(6) fuel oil for residential homes by 76.4-per-
cent; 
(7) utility gas prices by 31.3-percent; 
(8) gasoline, per gallon, by 43.4-percent; and 
(9) diesel fuel, per gallon, by 69.6-percent. 
President Biden canceled the continued construction 
of the Keystone XL Pipeline and plans to block all new 
drilling in the Atlantic and Pacific ocean regions within 
United States waters. 
The Biden administration has canceled Federal land 
and offshore leasing permits, increased regulation and 
proposed taxes, depleted the strategic oil reserves, and 
turned to foreign oil production, doing everything in its 
power to hamper domestic oil production. 
President Biden recently took a trip to Saudi Arabia 
where he continues to encourage members of the Organi-
zation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to expand 
output rather than promoting energy independence domes-
tically. 
The United States energy sector has repeatedly 
reached out to President Biden to show him the potential 
of United States energy production sites, with no reply 
from the White House.

President Biden’s decision to ignore United States 
domestic energy producers is a clear sign of his apathy 
towards the very people he is sworn to protect. 
Wherefore President Biden, by such conduct, has 
demonstrated that he will remain a threat to the United 
States’ national and energy security if allowed to remain 
in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible 
with self-governance and the rule of law. 
President Biden thus warrants impeachment and 
trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and 
enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United 
States.
