What were the formal articles of impeachment filed in the 2025 case and who authored them?

1. What resolutions were filed and when — a simple map

Rep. Shri Thanedar publicly introduced seven articles of impeachment against President Trump in late April 2025; Thanedar’s office framed the articles as responding to “a sweeping abuse of power, flagrant violations of the Constitution, and acts of tyranny” (April 28, 2025 filing reported on his site and by Common Dreams) ^{[3] [4]}. Rep. Al Green announced he had filed H.Res.415 on May 15, 2025 and later formally submitted a privileged impeachment resolution on June 24, 2025 (documents on his website and House document PDFs) ^{[1] [7]}. Congress.gov lists multiple impeachment resolutions in the 119th Congress, including H.Res.353 and the text of H.Res.415 and H.Res.537, each describing seven articles or similar grounds ^{[5] [6] [2]}.

2. What the articles alleged — the core charges across filings

The resolutions described a substantial overlap of charges framed as constitutional violations and threats to democratic norms. Congress.gov and the resolution texts enumerate seven articles including obstruction of justice/violation of due process and breach of the duty to faithfully execute laws; usurpation of Congress’s appropriations power; abuse of trade powers and unconsented international aggression; violations of First Amendment rights; creation of an unlawful office; bribery and corruption; and “tyranny” ^{[5] [6] [2]}. Thanedar’s public statement likewise framed his seven articles as opposing an “authoritarian power grab” and alleged repeated constitutional violations ^[4].

3. Who authored or submitted each set of articles

Rep. Al Green (D-Tex.) is identified as the sponsor/submitter of H.Res.415 filed May 15, 2025 and of the June 24, 2025 privileged resolution “Mr. Green of Texas submitted the following resolution” ^{[1] [7]}. Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) is identified as the author and filer of an earlier seven-article package introduced in April 2025; his congressional press release and multiple outlets report he “introduced” those articles ^{[3] [4]}. Congress.gov entries show other impeachment resolutions on the House docket in 2025 but the available sources specifically name Green and Thanedar as the primary sponsors cited here ^{[5] [6] [2]}.

4. Where accounts agree and where reporting diverges

Accounts agree that multiple, separate members filed impeachment resolutions in 2025 and that at least two distinct seven-article packages were advanced by Thanedar and Green ^{[3] [1]}. Congress.gov confirms text and article headings for the Green filings and lists other impeachment resolutions on the House record ^{[6] [5]}. Divergence appears in emphasis: Thanedar’s materials and sympathetic outlets stress an immediate constitutional emergency and “tyrannical overreach,” while Green’s public materials emphasize the President as a present “threat to democracy” and use privileged-procedure politics to force consideration despite a Republican House majority ^{[4] [1] [6]}.

5. Political context and practical prospects

Reporters and party leaders noted the political reality that a GOP-controlled House made eventual success unlikely—examples include historical context of quashed or tabled motions in a divided chamber and statements from House leadership skeptical of moving impeachment forward ^{[8] [9] [10]}. Thanedar’s earlier attempts were criticized within his own party for lack of traction; Al Green likewise sought a privileged motion to force a floor vote even where the chamber majority opposed it ^{[8] [1]}.

6. Limitations of available reporting

Available sources document the text and sponsors for Thanedar’s and Green’s filings and summarize their seven-article structures, but they do not provide exhaustive vote totals for every procedural step, nor do they include the full, line‑by‑line legal drafting history or any Senate action because those steps did not occur in the reporting cited ^{[4] [2] [6]}. If you want the verbatim article text or to track subsequent procedural votes, Congress.gov and the House documents referenced contain full texts and are the primary records ^{[6] [7]}.
