American people and the security of the United States, 
and that the following Articles of Impeachment be exhib-
ited to the United States Senate: 
Articles of Impeachment exhibited by the House of 
Representatives of the United States of America in the 
name of itself and of the people of the United States of 
America, against Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the 
United States of America, in maintenance and support of 
its impeachment against him for dereliction of duty by 
leaving behind thousands of American civilians and Af-
ghan allies, along with numerous taxpayer-financed weap-
ons and military equipment, endangering the lives of the 
American people and the security of the United States. 
The Constitution provides that the House of Rep-
resentatives ‘‘shall have the sole Power of Impeachment’’ 
and that the President ‘‘shall be removed from Office on 
Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or 
other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.’’. 
In his conduct as President of the United States, in 
violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the 
office of the President of the United States, and, to the 
best of his ability, preserve, protect, defend, the Constitu-
tion of the United States—Joseph Robinette Biden 
showed dereliction of duty by leaving behind thousands of 
American civilians and Afghan allies, along with numerous

ARTICLE I 
Whereas Joe Biden failed to secure the extraction of 
thousands of American civilians and Afghan allies before 
and during the withdrawal between August 14 and August 
16, 2021, putting thousands of lives in imminent danger 
from the Taliban. 
Whereas, as Commander-in-Chief, Joe Biden has 
armed our enemies by leaving numerous weapons, ammu-
nition, and other military equipment which could be used 
against American citizens, allies, and other civilians in Af-
ghanistan. 
Whereas Joe Biden has shown the American people 
that his administration failed to properly prepare for the 
extraction of civilian and military assets from the nation 
of Afghanistan. 
Whereas Joe Biden abandoned tens of thousands of 
American citizens and Afghan allies stuck in Afghanistan

that he is unfit to hold the office of President of the 
United States. 
Wherefore President Biden, by such conduct, has 
demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national se-
curity and the Constitution 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 war-
rants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and dis-
qualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, 
or profit under the United States.
