RESOLUTION 
Expunging the January 13, 2021, impeachment of President 
Donald John Trump. 
Whereas 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’’; 
Whereas, on January 13, 2021, the House of Representatives 
passed H. Res. 24, Agreeing to Article I of the Resolu-

United States, for high Crimes and Misdemeanors, by a 
vote of 232 Yeas, 197 Nays, and 4 Not Voting; 
Whereas Article I of the Resolution, entitled ‘‘Incitement of 
Insurrection’’, contains a subjective account of that which 
transpired at the Capitol on January 6, 2021; 
Whereas Article I of the Resolution omits any discussion of 
the circumstances, unusual voting patterns, and voting 
anomalies of the 2020 Presidential election itself; 
Whereas prior to considering and voting on the Impeachment 
Resolution, Democratic leadership in the House made no 
effort to understand the rationale behind the widespread 
mistrust harbored by American voters in the wake of the 
2020 Presidential election; 
Whereas President Trump won 18 of the 19 bellwether coun-
ties across the country that have predicted the winner of 
every Presidential election since 1980; 
Whereas President Trump received approximately 10,100,000 
more votes than in the 2016 Presidential election, mak-
ing President Trump the first incumbent President in 
132 years, since Grover Cleveland’s failed bid for reelec-
tion in 1888, to have increased his vote from his initial 
election and seemingly still not won reelection in the sub-
sequent cycle; 
Whereas Secretaries of State and State boards of election 
across the country changed State election laws sua sponte 
in the name of ‘‘health and safety’’ in the wake of the 
COVID–19 pandemic; 
Whereas public officials in numerous States issued guidance 
to counties that local election officials were precluded 
from performing on-the-spot signature analysis, ensuring 
absentee ballots could not be rejected because an election

official believed the voter’s signature on a ballot envelope 
did not match the signature on file; 
Whereas four Democratic lawmakers (Senators Warren, Klo-
buchar, Wyden, and Representative Pocan), formerly en-
thusiastic proponents of voting machine integrity, went so 
far as to send a 2019 letter to voting system companies, 
providing real examples of voting machine problems (such 
as switching votes, rejecting paper ballots, vulnerability 
to cyberattack) yet, following the 2020 Presidential elec-
tion, any individual who raised the same concerns was 
dismissed by Democrats and pundits in the mainstream 
media as spreading ‘‘misinformation’’ and as being noth-
ing more than a ‘‘conspiracy theorist’’; 
Whereas recount efforts following the 2020 Presidential elec-
tion were vociferously opposed by Governors and Secre-
taries of State in key swing States like Arizona, Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia; 
Whereas public officials in key swing States ignored, and 
took great steps to resist, calls for accountability and 
transparency in election administration and the counting 
and recounting of ballots in their respective States, fur-
ther sowing the seed of doubt in the electorate as to the 
legitimacy and fairness in the final result; 
Whereas rather than setting forth facts and evidence sup-
porting the need to impeach a President a matter of days 
before he leaves office, Article I of the Resolution cites 
two quotes from President Trump’s January 6, 2021, 
speech on the Ellipse that lack any context, and are 
viewed in a light most unfavorable to the President; 
Whereas Article I of the Resolution grasps at the fact that 
President Trump stated ‘‘we won this election, and we
