What were the exact counts and statutes listed in the 2025 articles of impeachment against Donald Trump?
Executive summary
Available reporting shows multiple attempts in 2025 by House Democrats to introduce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, notably Rep. Al Green’s pledges and past filings and Rep. Shri Thanedar’s seven-article package (Green’s May 15 filing is referenced in summaries) — but the exact, consolidated text, counts, and statutes enumerated in “the 2025 articles of impeachment” are not fully contained in the supplied sources (not found in current reporting) [1] [2] [3].
1. What the supplied reporting actually documents — multiple efforts, not a single, final package
The materials in the provided set document several separate 2025 initiatives: Rep. Al Green announced he would introduce articles of impeachment and pressed the House to vote before Christmas; his actions echo prior filings and floor speeches where he pledged articles for “dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done” [1] [4]. Separately, Republican and Democratic tracking (including Wikipedia summaries drawn from contemporary reporting) reports that Rep. Shri Thanedar announced and brought forward seven articles in mid‑May 2025 [2]. Those items show plural, distinct efforts rather than a single consolidated set of articles with a single list of statutes [1] [2].
2. Where explicit counts appear in the set of sources
Two concrete numeric claims appear: Shri Thanedar’s seven articles introduced on May 14, 2025 is reported in the Wikipedia summary of 2025 efforts [2]. News coverage and advocacy groups likewise record multiple independent filings and campaigns collecting petition signatures urging impeachment proceedings (Free Speech For People reporting of petitions and campaigns) [5] [6]. Beyond those references, the supplied sources do not present a complete, authoritative list of every article, nor a single canonical “2025 articles” document to extract an exact count and statutory citations from (not found in current reporting) [5] [6] [2].
3. Substance alleged in the filings and public statements (themes, not text)
Reported themes driving 2025 impeachment pushes include alleged threats or proposals surrounding Gaza and “ethnic cleansing” language that motivated Rep. Al Green’s February filing announcement (he said Trump’s statements about “taking over Gaza” warranted impeachment) [1] [7]; other advocacy groups and commentators labelled various abuses — refusal to comply with court orders, alleged weaponization of federal agencies, and violations of war powers — as grounds for impeachment and urged Congress to act [8] [9]. These are descriptions of the grounds alleged in public advocacy and floor speeches, but the actual statutory citations (e.g., specific federal statutes or precise constitutional clauses) in a formal article text are not fully reproduced in the provided set (not found in current reporting) [8] [9].
4. Existing formal text available in past impeachments but not duplicated here
One supplied document is the text of the 2019 House Resolution (the Congress.gov PDF of H.Res.755) that lists detailed articles and legal rationale from that prior impeachment; it illustrates the kind of formal drafting that an article will include (abuse of power, obstruction, subpoena defiance), yet it is from the 116th Congress and not the 2025 materials the user asked about [3]. Thus, while that file shows how articles are usually structured, it does not answer what exact counts and statutes were in 2025 articles [3].
5. Why a definitive answer isn’t available from these items
The supplied news items and advocacy posts document multiple, overlapping initiatives, public calls, and at least one specific seven‑article filing claim, but they do not provide the verbatim texts of all the 2025 articles of impeachment or a single, consolidated list of each count and every statute cited — so a precise enumeration and statutory citation set cannot be assembled from these sources alone (not found in current reporting) [2] [1] [5].
6. How to get the exact counts and statutory language (next steps)
To produce the exact counts and statutes you requested, consult primary documents: the formal House resolutions filed in 2025 (e.g., H.Res. entries and their PDFs on Congress.gov), the full text releases from sponsoring offices (Rep. Al Green, Rep. Shri Thanedar), and official Congressional Record entries for the days those articles were introduced (these specific primary texts are not included among your provided sources) (not found in current reporting). For media summaries, follow contemporaneous reporting that reproduces or links the full resolution text; the Congress.gov 2019 example shows where such primary records are hosted [3].
