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 Donald John Trump, the President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution alleges that the President is an abuser of power who promotes violence and undermines democracy. Article I charges that the President called for the execution of six Democratic lawmakers in response to a video they posted. Article II alleges that the President has used abusive rhetoric and threats to intimidate federal judges. The resolution claims these actions violate his constitutional oath and the separation of powers. Ultimately, it calls for the President's impeachment, trial, and removal from office.
