What is the current party breakdown in the U.S. House and which members have publicly supported or opposed impeachment of Trump as of November 2025?
Executive summary
As of the 119th Congress in 2025 the House majority is narrowly Republican — commonly reported as around 220 GOP seats at the start of the term, giving Republicans a slim margin [1] [2]. Several House Democrats have publicly announced or supported fresh impeachment efforts (notably Rep. Al Green) and others have introduced or sponsored resolutions (e.g., H.Res.353 / H.Res.537 and prior filings), but with Republicans controlling the chamber these moves face long odds [3] [4] [5] [6].
1. The arithmetic: how narrow is the Republican edge in the House?
Multiple trackers and summaries describe the 119th Congress House as a Republican majority but a slim one — sources report Republicans held roughly 220 seats at the start of 2025 and that post‑election changes left the GOP with only a small margin [1] [2]. Reporting and datasets note resignations and deaths that slightly altered membership during 2025 (for example, Representative Mark Green’s resignation and at least two deaths), which can affect the working majority in close votes [7] [2].
2. Who is publicly pushing impeachment in the House now?
Democratic Representative Al Green has publicly announced he will file articles of impeachment against President Trump before the congressional Christmas recess and intends to force votes or privileged motions, a step widely covered in news outlets and congressional trackers [3] [8] [6]. Other members and outside groups have also introduced or circulated impeachment text — Congress.gov lists H.Res.353 and H.Res.537 as formal impeachment measures in the 119th Congress [4] [5]. Wikipedia and advocacy organizations document additional House Democrats (for example, Shri Thanedar earlier in 2025) who filed or signaled impeachment articles in prior months [9].
3. What do the actual resolutions say and who sponsored them?
Congress.gov hosts multiple texts and summaries: H.Res.353 is listed as “Impeaching Donald John Trump” and H.Res.537 contains detailed articles of impeachment alleging high crimes and misdemeanors; those entries show the resolutions exist in the House record [4] [5]. News coverage highlights Al Green’s intent to use privileged motion procedures to bring articles forward, which would force the House to take up or process the motion unless members vote to table or otherwise dispose of it [6].
4. Political reality: why passage is unlikely under current control
Analysts and academic sources note that because Republicans control the House and Senate, a successful impeachment and removal are unlikely unless the partisan math changes — scholars writing in university outlets and reporters emphasize that impeachment efforts from a minority party typically fail to reach conviction absent majority control [10] [3]. Newsweek and other outlets report that while impeachment filings will place Republicans and Democrats on the record, the GOP majority makes actual removal improbable in the near term [3] [11].
5. Broader ecosystem: activists, NGOs and public pressure
Outside groups and campaigns (for instance, Free Speech For People and ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow) are mounting petitions, legal memoranda and public pressure to push for impeachment and to supply articles and legal rationales; Free Speech For People says hundreds of thousands have joined campaigns and that it maintains lists of grounds for impeachment [12] [13] [14]. These organizations aim to create public momentum that could shift congressional calculations, but available sources do not provide a comprehensive list tying specific members beyond a few sponsors to each external campaign [12] [14].
6. What reporting does not (yet) say — limits of the record
Available sources list key sponsors and several resolutions but do not provide a comprehensive roll call or up‑to‑the‑minute list of every member who has publicly supported or opposed impeachment as of November 2025; detailed, member‑by‑member positions are not aggregated in the documents provided here (available sources do not mention a full roll call or exhaustive list of individual public statements by all 435 members). Likewise, while multiple resolutions exist on Congress.gov, the sources do not enumerate which Republicans have publicly opposed every impeachment motion beyond general statements that GOP leadership will resist such efforts [4] [5] [6].
7. Competing narratives and implicit agendas
House Republicans frame their majority as a bulwark against a “third impeachment” and emphasize avoiding what they call partisan overreach; this position is advanced in political reporting and commentary [15]. Conversely, Democrats and activist groups argue impeachment is a constitutional duty in response to alleged abuses; advocacy groups publish extensive grounds and mobilize constituents [14] [13]. Readers should note the implicit agendas: advocacy organizations aim to maximize public pressure, while partisan leaders seek to protect governing stability and electoral advantages [15] [14].
Conclusion: the House’s party numbers give Republicans a narrow but decisive advantage; several House Democrats (notably Al Green and others who have filed or supported resolutions) are actively pursuing impeachment, and multiple formal impeachment texts exist in the congressional record — but with GOP control the prospects for removal in this Congress remain constrained by the arithmetic and by partisan strategy [1] [3] [4] [5].
