Who in Congress has formally introduced articles of impeachment against Donald Trump in 2025–2026?
Executive summary
Two sitting House Democrats — Rep. Shri Thanedar (D‑Mich.) and Rep. Al Green (D‑Tex.) — have formally introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump during 2025–2026: Thanedar filed a seven‑article resolution in April 2025 and Green filed H.Res.939 in December 2025 and forced a floor vote that was later tabled [1] [2] [3] [4].
1. Who filed what and when
Rep. Shri Thanedar announced his intention to impeach in late April 2025 and formally unveiled seven articles of impeachment that month, framing them as alleging obstruction, bribery, abuse of power and other high crimes and misdemeanors [1] [2] [5]. Rep. Al Green filed H.Res.939 on December 10, 2025, which sets out two articles accusing the president of abuse of power for calling for the execution of members of Congress and of intimidating federal judges, and Green’s resolution was the subject of a forced House vote in December 2025 [6] [3] [4].
2. What happened on the floor: votes, tabling and allied support
Green’s December filing prompted a floor motion that resulted in a vote to table the resolution; reporting notes Democrats voting “present” and the House ultimately tabling the measure, even as advocacy groups hailed the 140 members who voted to advance Green’s articles [4] [7] [8]. Free Speech For People and allied organizations publicly celebrated the 140 members who supported advancing Green’s effort, and Al Green published the text and supporting materials for his articles on his congressional site [7] [6] [9].
3. Other resolutions on the record and gaps in sourcing
Congressional records show multiple House resolutions in the 119th Congress with impeachment language — including H.Res.353 and H.Res.537 — that enumerate varying articles and constitutional rationales [5] [10]. The provided sources do not consistently identify sponsors for every congress.gov text entry, and public reporting primarily highlights Thanedar and Green as the Members who formally filed articles in 2025–2026; absent explicit sponsor information in the supplied material, it would exceed the sourcing to assert other named sponsors beyond Thanedar and Green [5] [10].
4. Political context, practical prospects and messages from both camps
Both filings have been described by their sponsors and allied groups as necessary checks on presidential conduct — Thanedar’s seven articles characterize Trump as a “clear and present danger” and enumerate broad abuses of power [1] [2], while Green’s H.Res.939 zeroes in on alleged threats to lawmakers and the judiciary and was framed as urgent by activists who sought immediate action [3] [8]. Yet the political reality is stark: Republicans controlled the House majority in this period, making successful impeachment and removal unlikely and leading some outlets to describe these moves as long‑shot or performative while still politically consequential [11] [4].
5. How the record should be read and what's not established here
The documented, attributable filings in the supplied reporting and congressional texts are Shri Thanedar’s April 2025 seven‑article introduction and Al Green’s December 2025 H.Res.939 filing and forced floor vote [1] [2] [6] [3]. Other congress.gov impeachment texts exist in the public record (H.Res.353, H.Res.537), but the specific sponsors or floor actions for those items are not identified in the supplied sources, so this account does not attribute those measures to named Members beyond what the reporting directly supports [5] [10].
