Why impeachment?
Impeachment is how we stop what we cannot tolerate. The authors of the Constitution included it as a way to stop presidents who attack our democracy in exactly the way the Trump administration is attacking our country now. Impeachment will stop Donald Trump’s abuses of power and prevent the next president from repeating them.
Our country is at a crossroads, and what we do now will determine what kind of country exists for generations to come.
We can either allow powerful men like Trump to abuse their power and divide us based on the color of our skin or where we were born or our religion, or we can unite, impeach the president, and make this country work for all of us.
Why now?
Both MoveOn and By the People have been calling for impeachment for two years. But we believe this is an important moment to double down on that call for impeachment, because the Mueller investigation is complete, and even the redacted report has shown conclusive evidence that Trump obstructed justice and ordered his subordinates to do the same. The House could begin an impeachment inquiry immediately if its Democratic leadership wanted to. And in the wake of the Mueller report, there's more momentum than ever before for impeachment, with dozens of Democrats and even one Republican in Congress calling for it, along with at least nine candidates for president. But most Democratic leaders in Congress are not yet pursuing their constitutional duty to hold the president accountable.
We’re under no illusion that impeachment will happen tomorrow or that the Senate would follow the House's lead and remove an impeached president (something that has never happened in American history). But with Trump ramping up his abuse of power, inciting violence against Muslim communities, and continuing to order violations of law in order to separate families, the moral clarion call to pursue impeachment is clear. The House has the power to successfully impeach Donald Trump and show that they are unafraid of holding Trump accountable for his egregious actions.
