said: ‘‘Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend 
this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitu-
tion aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here 
at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. 
You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal or-
ders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law 
or our Constitution.’’ 
On November 20, 2025, in response, President 
Trump called for their execution. In one social media post, 
he wrote: ‘‘It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE 
HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our 
Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. 
Their words cannot be allowed to stand—We won’t have 
a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. Presi-
dent DJT.’’ In another, he wrote of the lawmakers: ‘‘SE-
DITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!’’ Dan-
gerously and unconstitutionally, he reposted a third par-
ty’s post: ‘‘HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON 
WOULD!!’’ 
President Trump’s call for the execution of law-
makers is a reckless and flagrant abuse of Presidential 
power that promotes extra-judicial punishment and the as-
sassination of Members of Congress, and warrants im-
peachment by the U.S. House of Representatives and trial 
by the Senate.

ARTICLE II: ABUSE OF PRESIDENTIAL POWER TO INTIMI-
DATE FEDERAL JUDGES IN VIOLATION OF THE SEP-
ARATION OF POWERS AND INDEPENDENCE OF THE 
JUDICIARY 
In his conduct of the office of President of the United 
States, Donald John Trump, in violation of his constitu-
tional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of 
the United States and, to the best of his ability, 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, has unfaithfully, dan-
gerously, and unconstitutionally abused his official posi-
tion by threatening Federal judges. 
President Trump has fostered a political climate in 
which lawmakers and judges face threats of political vio-
lence and physical assault; and in this climate has made 
threats and vituperative comments against Federal judges, 
putting at risk their safety and well-being, and under-
mining the independence of our judiciary. 
Case in point, in response to a Federal district court 
ruling with which President Trump disagreed, he posted: 
‘‘This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker 
and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein 
Obama, was not elected President . . . This judge, like

many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear be-
fore, should be IMPEACHED!!!’’ 
Another U.S. District Chief Judge has reported re-
ceiving increased numbers of violent threats, particularly 
after he began hearing arguments in a lawsuit against the 
Trump administration. 
In 2025, roughly a third of the Federal judiciary has 
been flooded with threats, with data showing that these 
threats spike each time Trump uses abusive rhetoric 
against judges. 
On May 2, 2025, Reuters reported that U.S. Su-
preme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson addressed 
President Donald Trump’s attacks on the judiciary. The 
relevant part of the article stated as follows: 
‘‘(1) ‘‘U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji 
Brown Jackson said on Thursday attacks by Repub-
lican President Donald Trump and his allies on 
judges were ‘not random’ and seemed ‘designed to 
intimidate the judiciary.’’ 
‘‘(2) Specifically, U.S. Supreme Court Justice 
Jackson remarked that, ‘‘The attacks are not ran-
dom. They seem designed to intimidate those of us 
who serve in this critical capacity.’’ 
‘‘(3) Justice Jackson added, ‘‘The threats and 
harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our

system of government. And they ultimately risk un-
dermining our Constitution and the rule of law.’’. 
The judiciary is afforded power over ‘‘all Cases, in 
Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the 
Laws of the United States, and Treaties made’’ and ‘‘to 
Controversies to which the United States shall be a 
Party.’’ U.S. Const. art. III, sec. 2. Intimidating judges, 
and recklessly calling for the impeachment and removal 
of judges who disagree with him demonstrate a willingness 
by Trump to usurp authority afforded by our Constitution 
to the judiciary and demonstrate a disregard for the Con-
stitution and the careful balance of powers that protects 
our country from abuses by any single branch. 
President Trump’s threats place the lives of Federal 
judges, court officials, and innocent bystanders at risk, 
promote the incitement of violence, and undermine our de-
mocracy, which cannot survive where President Trump’s 
incendiary comments engender invidious hate and where 
dissent is punishable by death. 
In all of this, Donald John Trump has acted in a 
manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive 
of constitutional government to the great prejudice of the 
cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the 
people of the United States.
