 Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, of high 
                             misdemeanors.

    Resolved, that Donald John Trump, President of the United States, 
is unfit to be President, unfit to represent the American values of 
decency and morality, respectability and civility, honesty and 
propriety, reputability and integrity, is unfit to defend the ideals 
that have made America great, unfit to defend liberty and justice for 
all as extolled in the Pledge of Allegiance, is unfit to defend the 
American ideal of all persons being created equal as exalted in the 
Declaration of Independence, is unfit to ensure domestic tranquility, 
promote the general welfare and to ensure the blessings of liberty to 
ourselves and our posterity as lauded in the preamble to the United 
States Constitution, is unfit to protect the government of the people, 
by the people, for the people as elucidated in the Gettysburg Address, 
and is impeached for high misdemeanors that the following Article of 
Impeachment be exhibited to the Senate:
     Article of Impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives 
of the United States, in the name of itself, of the people of the 
United States, against Donald John Trump, President of the United 
States, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for 
high misdemeanors committed as President constituting harm to American 
society to the manifest injury of the people of the United States:

                               article i

    The House of Representatives on July 16, 2019, strongly condemned 
President Donald Trump's racist comments that have legitimized and 
increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color by 
saying that our fellow Americans who are immigrants, and those who may 
look to the President like immigrants, should ``go back'' to other 
countries, by referring to immigrants and asylum seekers as 
``invaders'', and by saying that Members of Congress who are 
immigrants, or those of our colleagues who are wrongly assumed to be 
immigrants, do not belong in Congress or the United States of America.
     In all of this, the aforementioned Donald John Trump has, by his 
statements, brought the high office of the President of the United 
States in contempt, ridicule, disgrace, and disrepute, has sown seeds 
of discord among the people of the United States, has demonstrated that 
he is unfit to be President, and has betrayed his trust as President of 
the United States to the manifest injury of the people of the United 
States, and has committed a high misdemeanor in office.
    Therefore, Donald John Trump by causing such harm to the society of 
the United States is unfit to be President and warrants impeachment, 
trial, and removal from office.
