Last activity — Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
Tabled
The chamber set it aside for good — "tabled" it — which ends a measure without a vote on the measure itself. Where the chamber voted to table it, a yes was a vote against it.
Nothing. A tabled measure is not taken up again; if the idea comes back, it comes back as a new bill or resolution.
Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- Tabled
A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This resolution seeks to impeach President Donald John Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors. The bill alleges that the President has violated his constitutional oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. It specifically charges that he has abused his power by transforming ICE and CBP into unaccountable paramilitary forces. The document cites various unjustified killings of civilians and coverups as evidence of this abuse. Additionally, it claims these agencies are being used to suppress civil liberties and undermine judicial oversight. Ultimately, the resolution argues these actions threaten the democratic republic and warrant removal from office.
