=== Resolved, That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high Crimes and Misdemeanors, and that the following Articles of Impeachment be exhibited to the Senate: ===

Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America, in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

===== I, Rep./Candidate Bryan Lamont Arrington, United States Army Veteran, assert that no President is above the Constitution. Where a President uses war power unlawfully, degrades the rule of law, and harms the nation and its future, the House has a duty to impeach. Wendover_Proposed_Master_Policy… =====

==== In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional oath and duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, Donald John Trump has abused the powers of the Presidency by engaging in or directing hostilities without lawful Congressional authorization, and by treating armed force as a political instrument rather than a constitutional last resort. ====

Findings (edit as facts develop):
# On or about January 8, 2026 (or dates established by official findings), President Trump directed or supported a U.S. military operation in Caracas, Venezuela, reportedly resulting in the capture/exfiltration of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, without prior authorization by Congress.

# Such actions implicate the War Powers Resolution, including consultation/reporting duties and the requirement that continued hostilities must be authorized by Congress. U.S. Code<ref>{{cite web|title=U.S. Code|url=https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?edition=prelim&path=%2Fprelim%40title50%2Fchapter33|publisher=U.S. Code|access-date=2026-01-10}}</ref>
# Congress’s constitutional war power resides in Article I, Section 8; unilateral escalation of hostilities absent authorization undermines separation of powers and endangers U.S. forces and global stability.

Wherefore, Donald John Trump warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.

==== In his conduct while seeking and holding public trust, Donald John Trump has demonstrated unfitness and contempt for the rule of law. ====

Wherefore, Donald John Trump warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office, and disqualification.
