ARTICLE
I: OBSTRUCTION
OF
JUSTICE, VIOLATION
OF 
DUE PROCESS, AND A BREACH OF THE DUTY TO 
FAITHFULLY EXECUTE LAWS 
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, Article 
II of the Constitution states that the President ‘‘shall take 
Care that the Laws be faithfully executed’’, the Fourth 
Amendment of the Constitution states that ‘‘The right of 
the people . . . against unreasonable searches and sei-
zures, shall not be violated’’, and the Fifth Amendment 
of the Constitution states ‘‘No person shall be . . . de-
prived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of 
law’’. In his conduct of the office of President of the 
United States—and in violation of his constitutional oath 
to 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 has

to, and subversive of, the Constitution, in that: 
Using the power of his high office, Donald John 
Trump has engaged in this scheme or course of conduct 
through the following means: 
(1) By his orders and directions to subordi-
nates, obstructed the administration of justice and 
embarked on a scheme to destroy and corrupt the 
legal system and the powers of the courts under Ar-
ticle III of the Constitution. Specifically, he has done 
the following: 
(A) Directed and permitted his subordi-
nates and attorneys at the Department of Jus-
tice to violate their oaths to uphold the Con-
stitution, laws of the United States, and the 
rules of professional ethics by adducing mis-
leading and willfully false representations to the 
courts of the United States, and to otherwise 
abuse their official powers. Specifically, he 
has— 
(i) sought to dismiss, without preju-
dice and under false pretenses, the bribery 
and fraud charges against New York City 
Mayor Eric Adams, in an unethical quid

(iv) acted in contempt of court for vio-

principles of due process and the rule of

(iii) unlawfully transmitted sensitive 
personal information of private citizens 
and government employees in violation of, 
among other Federal laws, the Privacy Act 
and the Administrative Procedure Act. 
In all of this, Donald John Trump has willfully dis-
regarded Federal laws and the Constitution, imperiled a 
coequal branch of Government, and threatened the integ-
rity of the democratic system. He thereby betrayed his 
trust as President, abused the powers of the Presidency,

Crimes and Misdemeanors of obstruction of justice and 
effecting a wide-ranging scheme to destroy and corrupt 
the legal system and the powers of the courts under Article 
III of the Constitution. 
Wherefore, Donald John Trump, by such conduct,

ity, preserve, protect, 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 has abused the powers of the Presidency in 
a manner offensive to, and subversive of, the Constitution, 
in that: 
Using the powers of his high office, Donald John 
Trump unlawfully usurped Congress and its power to ap-
propriate funds, thereby nullifying the Appropriations 
Clause in the Constitution and violating the Impoundment 
Control Act of 1974. Since taking office, he has signed 
numerous Executive Orders directing agencies to withhold 
funds appropriated by Congress. The President does not 
have the power to override spending laws or impound ap-
propriated funds, a principle affirmed by numerous Su-
preme Court rulings. 
Donald John Trump has withheld funds and termi-
nated en masse Federal employees and numerous Federal 
agencies and departments, including the following: 
(1) Directed the dismantling of the Department 
of Education. As enacted in the Department of Edu-
cation Organization Act, signed into law by Presi-
dent Jimmy Carter, the Department of Education 
was established by Congress to create reform in the 
education system throughout the country, distribute

Federal aid to students and places of learning, and 
prohibit discriminatory practices. The President does 
not have the authority to dismantle the Department 
of Education, and his signing of Executive Order 
14242, which aims to ‘‘Improving Education Out-
comes by Empowering Parents, States, and Commu-
nities’’, violates the law and the Constitution. 
(2) Unlawfully directed the elimination of the 
United States Agency for International Development 
(USAID). As enacted in the Foreign Assistance Act 
of 1961, signed into law by President John F. Ken-
nedy, USAID plays a crucial role in delivering for-
eign assistance worldwide, including disaster relief, 
conflict relief, combating global diseases, promoting 
educational programs, and enhancing food security 
in developing countries. By dismantling USAID and 
freezing foreign assistance, he has severed the 
United States from its humanitarian role as directed 
by Congress, leaving other countries and potentially 
our adversaries to fill in the role the United States 
has abandoned. 
(3) Created the so-called ‘‘Department of Gov-
ernment Efficiency (DOGE)’’, which has imposed 
payment holds and rescinded funds after disburse-
ment. Donald John Trump has utilized DOGE to

dozens of Federal agencies, including the National 
Institutes of Health, the Federal Aviation Adminis-
tration, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. By 
impounding 
congressionally 
appropriated 
funds, 
Donald John Trump and DOGE have not only vio-
lated the law, but have negatively impacted the 
American people by cutting jobs, halting critical 
services, and rescinding grants for programs, in defi-
ance of the express, constitutionally binding will of 
Congress. 
Using the powers of his high office, Donald John 
Trump has unlawfully withheld congressionally appro-
priated funds and attempted to dismantle congressionally 
mandated agencies. By withholding funds and crippling 
agencies, he has prevented the Federal Government from 
performing critical duties here and abroad. He has threat-
ened the well-being of United States citizens through the 
gross misconduct of his office, resulting in dire and life- 
threatening consequences on the world’s most vulnerable 
populations. 
Wherefore, Donald John Trump, by such conduct,

and for the people, has acted in a manner grossly incom-

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 
8 of Article I of the Constitution states, ‘‘Congress shall 
have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and 
Excises, . . . but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall

of countries around the world, and declaring the false ex-
istence of a national security emergency to justify his ac-
tions. Donald John Trump’s tariffs contradicted trade 
agreements established by his Administration and other 
administrations, including the duly ratified and binding 
treaty obligations of the United States, thereby breaking 
international laws and norms, leading to countries around 
the world to enact damaging tariffs on goods and services 
originating from the United States. His ‘‘Liberation Day’’ 
scheme, which imposed 10 percent tariffs on all countries, 
as well as additional tariffs based on a formula for ‘‘reci-
procity’’ widely mocked as nonsensical, led to the most sig-
nificant drop in the financial markets since the 2020 crash 
triggered by the COVID–19 pandemic. 
Additionally, Donald John Trump has threatened for-
eign nations with invasion, the annexation of territory, 
and the occupation of sovereign territory through the use 
of military action. By doing this, he has implicated the 
United States and himself in violation of constitutionally 
binding treaty obligations, to include the North Atlantic 
Treaty of 1949, the General Treaty for Renunciation of 
War as an Instrument of National Policy of 1928, the

(3) Annexation of Greenland, an autonomous 
territory in the Kingdom of Denmark. Donald John 
Trump has continued to use hostile language aimed 
at taking control of Greenland, stating that the 
United States will ‘‘go as far as we have to go’’ to 
obtain control of Greenland. He has refused to rule

nomic action against the sovereign country. 
(5) Annexation of the Gaza Strip, involving the 
forced resettlement of the Palestinian population to 
the surrounding countries. Donald John Trump has 
stated that the United States ‘‘will take over the

vention on the Prevention and Punishment of the 
Crime of Genocide, would be unconstitutional absent 
the approval of the United States Congress, and is 
profoundly unserious in light of the grave humani-
tarian situation and ongoing armed conflict in Gaza. 
Using the powers of his high office, Donald John 
Trump has unlawfully conducted himself, bringing shame

Since taking office, Donald John Trump has directed 
the Department of Justice to dismiss more than a dozen 
prosecutors who were involved in investigations against 
him after he left office in 2021. The Department of Jus-

Furthermore, he has made direct and unambiguous

pursued meritless litigation, leveraged his public office for 
private gain, and perverted the course of justice and the

Congress as a coequal branch of government as estab-
lished by the Constitution’s Article I Vesting Clause, and 
by the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause, in addition 
to the First Amendment. 
For example, Donald John Trump has repeatedly 
threatened members of the House Select Committee on 
the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, 
which investigated the attack on the Capitol that Donald 
John Trump instigated. Donald John Trump has sought 
to intimidate the members and staff of the United States 
House Select Committee on the January 6th Attack, stat-

a desire to remove the pardons they received, stating ‘‘The 
‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect 
Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are here-

belling them as organizations that ‘‘literally write 97.6 
percent bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat 
Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they 
are illegal. What they do is illegal.’’. He has stated that 
newspapers critical of him are ‘‘really no different than 
a highly paid political operative. And it has to stop. It 
has to be illegal. It’s influencing judges . . . it just cannot

By these and many other actions, he has sought to 
outlaw dissent, opposition, and criticism of himself and his

to freedom of speech, and of association, and of the right 
to petition the government for redress of grievances, is 
wholly incompatible with the rights and liberties of the 
People of the United States as a self-governing people 
under the rule of law. 
In purpose and effect, he has attempted to suppress 
dissent and opposition, casting a chilling effect over the 
public discourse, and striking at the core freedoms essen-

Constitution.
