NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OFFER RESOLUTION - Mr. Thanedar notified the House of his intent to offer a privileged resolution pursuant to clause 2(a)(1) of rule IX. The Chair announ…
This resolution accuses President Donald J. Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors by presenting seven articles of impeachment that outline alleged misconduct. If the House adopts the resolution by a majority vote, those articles are formally sent to the Senate. The House impeachment is an accusation; the Senate holds a trial and decides whether to convict and remove the President.
The House adopts articles of impeachment by a simple majority vote; adoption does not remove the President. The Senate then conducts a trial and must reach a two-thirds vote to convict and remove the President from office.
H.
Res. 353 is a privileged resolution introduced to impeach President Donald J.
Trump.
Highly polarizing, sweeping allegations reduce bipartisan support; House passage uncertain and Senate conviction unlikely.
Relative to its intended legislative type (an impeachment resolution), this bill sets out multiple articles of impeachment and identifies a wide range of alleged misconduct. It follows the basic constitutional form (impeach and exhibit articles to the Senate) but is unevenly drafted: many substantive allegations are present but the text contains incomplete citations, placeholders, and narrative excesses that reduce precision. Procedural and evidentiary scaffolding beyond the bare impeachment declaration is minimal.

Progressives emphasize constitutional accountability and removal
Likely views the resolution as warranted accountability for repeated constitutional violations alleged in multiple articles.
Supporters would see impeachment as a lawful remedy to remove an official who, in their view, systematically abused executive power.
Views the resolution with caution: acknowledges serious allegations but emphasizes need for clear evidence and a restrained, bipartisan process.
Prefers due process, focused hearings, and weighing national stability against accountability.
Likely regards the resolution as politically motivated and an improper response to policy disagreements.
Views many allegations as partisan or exaggerated, and sees removal as an unacceptable override of electoral outcomes.
