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’’. Further, section 
3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits 
any person who has ‘‘engaged in insurrection or rebellion 
against’’ the United States from ‘‘hold[ing] any office . . . 
under the United States’’. In his conduct while President 
of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional 
oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the 
United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, pro-
tect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, 
and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that 
the laws be faithfully executed—Donald John Trump en-
gaged in high Crimes and Misdemeanors by inciting vio-
lence against the Government of the United States, in 
that: 
On January 6, 2021, pursuant to the 12th Amend-
ment to the Constitution of the United States, the Vice 
President of the United States, the House of Representa-
tives, and the Senate met at the United States Capitol 
for a Joint Session of Congress to count the votes of the 
Electoral College. In the months preceding the Joint Ses-
sion, President Trump repeatedly issued false statements

asserting that the Presidential election results were the 
product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted 
by the American people or certified by State or Federal 
officials. Shortly before the Joint Session commenced, 
President Trump, addressed a crowd at the Ellipse in 
Washington, DC. There, he reiterated false claims that 
‘‘we won this election, and we won it by a landslide’’. He 
also willfully made statements that, in context, encour-
aged—and foreseeably resulted in—lawless action at the 
Capitol, such as: ‘‘if you don’t fight like hell you’re not 
going to have a country anymore’’. Thus incited by Presi-
dent Trump, members of the crowd he had addressed, in 
an attempt to, among other objectives, interfere with the 
Joint Session’s solemn constitutional duty to certify the 
results of the 2020 Presidential election, unlawfully 
breached and vandalized the Capitol, injured and killed 
law enforcement personnel, menaced Members of Con-
gress, the Vice President, and Congressional personnel, 
and engaged in other violent, deadly, destructive, and sedi-
tious acts. 
President Trump’s conduct on January 6, 2021, fol-
lowed his prior efforts to subvert and obstruct the certifi-
cation of the results of the 2020 Presidential election. 
Those prior efforts included a phone call on January 2, 
2021, during which President Trump urged the secretary

of state of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, to ‘‘find’’ enough 
votes to overturn the Georgia Presidential election results 
and threatened Secretary Raffensperger if he failed to do 
so. 
In all this, President Trump gravely endangered the 
security of the United States and its institutions of Gov-
ernment. He threatened the integrity of the democratic 
system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, 
and imperiled a coequal branch of Government. He there-
by betrayed his trust as President, to the manifest injury 
of the people of the United States. 
Wherefore, Donald John Trump, by such conduct, 
has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national 
security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to re-
main in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incom-
patible with self-governance and the rule of law. Donald 
John Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, re-
moval from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy 
any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United 
States.
