Expunging the December 18, 2019, and January 13, 2021, Impeachments of President Donald Trump.
Trump Impeachments: Removal from House Records
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and has been sent to the House Committee on the Judiciary for review. No further actions or hearings have been scheduled at this time. The bill is not moving forward currently.
Legislative Progress
This is a House-only resolution, meaning it only needs a majority in the House to pass. If Republicans are in control, they have the votes to approve it without needing the Senate or a signature.
Key Points
- This resolution asks the House of Representatives to officially cancel the two times Trump was impeached. If passed, the House records would be changed to act as if the impeachment votes never happened.
- Supporters of the bill argue the first impeachment in 2019 was based on biased information. They claim the person who started the complaint did not have firsthand knowledge of the events and was working against Trump.
- The bill also criticizes the second impeachment in 2021 for being too fast. It claims the House did not follow a fair process because there were no official hearings or chances for Trump to defend himself.
- The resolution claims the 2021 Senate trial was not legal because the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court did not lead it. It argues that having a Democratic senator lead the trial made the process unfair.
- This action is mostly symbolic and would only change the internal records of the House. It would not change the history of what happened or have a direct impact on federal laws or the daily lives of citizens.
