Immunity not withstanding what actions yo date are impeachable of Trump's
Executive summary
A chorus of House resolutions and Democratic lawmakers outline a string of presidential acts that, immunity notwithstanding, are presented as impeachable: unauthorized military actions abroad (notably in Venezuela and alleged actions with Iran), threats and incitement toward political opponents including calls for violence, and domestic abuses of executive authority such as media restrictions and extrajudicial federal deployments—each cited in recent congressional texts and press statements as grounds for “high crimes and misdemeanors” [1] [2] [3] [4]. These sources frame the question of impeachability around constitutional violations (War Powers, Article I) and abuses of the oath of office rather than criminal indictment processes [2] [1].
1. The constitutional baseline for “impeachable” conduct
Congressional impeachment resolutions repeatedly ground their claims in constitutional text and separation-of-powers doctrine—arguing that unilateral military actions without congressional authorization violate Article I’s allocation of war powers and amount to an abuse of presidential power warranting impeachment [2]; these texts explicitly characterize such conduct as subverting constitutional government and threatening democracy [1].
2. Unauthorized military action and the War Powers claim
Multiple House resolutions and lawmakers single out recent military operations—most prominently the U.S. intervention in Venezuela—as unlawful uses of force undertaken without congressional authorization, citing the War Powers Clause and international-law concerns as the core legal grievance that could form an article of impeachment [2] [3] [5]. Congress’s texts and media coverage also allege broader patterns of escalating threats and military adventurism—threats toward nations like Canada and Greenland and tariff-and-invasion rhetoric—that proponents say evidence a sustained abuse of executive war and foreign-policy authority [6] [3].
3. Incitement, threats against lawmakers and political violence
Resolutions accuse the president of promoting or tolerating political violence and of explicitly threatening members of Congress, including language described as calling for extrajudicial punishment or the “execution” of lawmakers—charges that impeachment drafters say rise to the level of impeachable conduct because they undermine the rule of law and the safety of the legislative branch [1] [6]. Relatedly, commentators and some members point to pardons and praise for Jan. 6 actors as part of a pattern that they say emboldens violent actors [7] [8].
4. Domestic abuse of executive authority: media, agencies and federal forces
Lawmakers and advocacy groups cite actions such as restricting press access (the Associated Press dispute), dismantling federal agencies, and deploying federal agents into U.S. cities—including an escalated operation in Minneapolis—as evidence of lawless overreach that infringes on First Amendment, oversight, and statutory constraints and therefore could support impeachment articles [6] [9] [4]. These claims are presented as both individual impeachable acts and as cumulative proof of corruption and institutional subversion [10].
5. Political context, differing views and limits of current reporting
Not all Democrats uniformly press for immediate impeachment: majorities in the House and political calculations tied to the 2026 midterms shape strategy, with some lawmakers saying impeachment is plausible if Democrats regain the House while others urge caution [11] [12]. Reporting catalogs allegations and proposed articles (H.Res.537, H.Res.353, H.Res.939) but does not, in these sources, supply adjudicated legal findings proving criminal intent or statutory violations in every cited instance—Congressional resolutions assert impeachable offenses; whether they would meet a Senate conviction threshold remains a political and legal determination beyond the scope of the cited texts [2] [1] [6].
6. Bottom line: the core actions framed as impeachable
According to the collected congressional texts, statements by Democratic lawmakers, and advocacy groups, the primary actions described as impeachable—regardless of any immunity argument—are: conducting unauthorized military interventions (notably Venezuela and alleged Iran actions), threatening or inciting violence against political opponents and members of Congress, and abusing executive power domestically through media restrictions, dismantling agencies, and using federal forces extrajudicially; each of these is explicitly identified in formal resolutions and public statements as grounds for impeachment [2] [3] [1] [6] [4].
