quiesce to his demand that he somehow ‘‘find 11,780 
votes’’, which he claimed he was entitled to and would re-
sult in a determination that he was the winner of the Pres-
idential election in the State of Georgia, notwithstanding 
the fact that votes in the State of Georgia had already 
been thrice counted in favor of the certified winner, his 
opponent and former Vice-President Joseph R. Biden. 
In this, the President of the United States abused 
the powers of the Presidency by actively undermining pub-
lic faith and confidence in the integrity of the American 
electoral system, subverting the rule of law, and placing 
his personal political and private interests above the na-
tional interest. 
Wherefore Donald John Trump, by such conduct, has 
demonstrated that he will remain a threat to security of 
the Nation 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 and thus warrants 
impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disquali-
fication to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, trust, or 
profit under the United States.

the office of President of the United States—and in viola-
tion of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the of-
fice 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— 
Donald John Trump has abused the powers of the Presi-
dency, in that: 
Abusing the powers and resources of his high office, 
Donald John Trump has actively and continuously endeav-
ored to undermine the essential institutions and founda-
tions of a democratic system of government in the United 
States, engaging in a long train of abuses and 
usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evincing 
a design to make himself an authoritarian ruler unac-
countable to, and independent of, the people of the United 
States by: 
(1) Soliciting and welcoming the assistance of a 
hostile foreign power to aid him in securing election 
in 2016 as President of the United States. 
(2) Refusing to acknowledge Russian inter-
ference in the internal affairs of the United States, 
and then opposing responses by Congress and the 
Executive Branch to protect the national security

Russian interference and aggression. 
(3) Publicly conveying his interest and willing-
ness to accept the assistance of foreign powers in his 
attempt to win reelection as President of the United 
States. 
(4) Refusing continuously to acknowledge to the 
American people that he would accept and be bound 
by the verdict rendered in the 2020 Presidential 
election, instead claiming that any outcome in which 
he was not declared the winner was fraudulent, 
rigged, and illegitimate. 
(5) Taking active measures to impede and un-
dermine the ability of American citizens to convey 
their disapproval of his continuance in office by ex-
ercising their rights as voters, including misusing 
the United States Postal Service to prevent the 
timely delivery of mail-in ballots. 
(6) Instituting frivolous lawsuits to overturn the 
results of the 2020 Presidential election, falsely al-
leging wide-spread voting fraud but producing no 
evidence in support of his spurious allegations. 
(7) Exhorting and inciting his supporters to be-

election had been stolen from him and that constitu-

theft of his victory. 
(8) Failing to take action to protect and defend 
Federal officers and personnel, property, buildings, 
and institutions on January 6, 2021, at the U.S. 
Capitol that was besieged by supporters of Donald 
John Trump, resulting in extensive damage to the 
property of the United States and the deaths of at 
least four persons. 
In all of this, President Trump has acted in a manner 
contrary to his trust as President and subversive of con-
stitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause 
of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people 
of the United States. As the Framers wrote in 1776 in 
the Declaration of Independence, a person, ‘‘whose char-
acter is thus marked by every act which may define a ty-
rant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people’’. 
Wherefore Donald John Trump, by such conduct, has 
demonstrated that he will remain a threat to security of 
the Nation and the Constitution if allowed to remain in 
office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible
