1 its impeachment against him for high crimes and mis-
2 demeanors.
3 ARTICLE I

4 In his conduct of the office of President of the United

5 States, Donald John Trump—and in violation of his con-
6 stitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President
7 of the United States and, to the best of his ability, pre-
8 serve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United
9 States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take
10 care that the laws be faithfully executed—Donald John
11 Trump has abused the powers of the Presidency by at-
12 tempting to unlawfully overturn the results of the Novem-
13 ber 2020 Presidential election in the State of Georgia.
14 On January 2, 2021, President Trump violated his
15 constitutional duty to take care that the laws of the
16 United States be faithfully executed when, on a recorded
17 call, he repeatedly asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad
18 Raffensperger to overturn the finalized and verified results
19 of the November 2020 Presidential election in the State
20 of Georgia. President Trump misused the power of his of-
21 fice by threatening an elected official with unspecified con-
22 sequences if he failed to pursue the President’s false
23 claims and attempting to coerce an elected official to com-
24 mit fraud. His actions and statements on this call amount-
25 ed to interference with the impartial election process in

1 direct contravention of both Federal law and the laws of
2 the State of Georgia.
3 In all of this, Donald John Trump has acted in a
4 manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive
5 of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the
6 cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the
7 people of the United States.
8 Wherefore, Donald John Trump, by such conduct,
9 warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and
10 disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor,
11 trust, or profit under the United States.
12 ARTICLE II

13 In his conduct of the office of President of the United

14 States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faith-
15 fully to execute the office of President of the United States
16 and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend
17 the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of
18 his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faith-
19 fully executed—Donald John Trump has abused the pow-
20 ers of the Presidency to incite violence and orchestrate an
21 attempted coup against our country.
22 On January 6th, 2021, President Trump encouraged
23 individuals to travel to Washington, District of Columbia
24 with the sole purpose of inciting violence and obstructing
25 Congress in engaging in its constitutionally mandated leg-
26 islative business of certifying the electoral college results

1 of the 2020 election. He incited a crowd of supporters in
2 Washington, D.C. to violently attack the United States
3 Capitol while both chambers of Congress were in session,
4 saying ‘‘You’ll never take back our country with weakness.
5 You have to show strength and you have to be strong’’.
6 After those supporters had violently breached the Capitol,
7 he put out a further statement repeating his false claims
8 of election fraud and telling the members of the mob, ‘‘We
9 love you, you’re very special’’.
10 In all of this, Donald John Trump has acted in a
11 manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive
12 of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the
13 cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the
14 people of the United States.
15 Wherefore, Donald John Trump, by such conduct,
16 warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and
17 disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor,
18 trust, or profit under the United States.
