                               RESOLUTION


 
Impeaching Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., President of the United States, 
                   for high crimes and misdemeanors.

    Resolved, That Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., President of the United 
States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the 
following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States 
Senate:
     Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives 
of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people 
of the United States of America, against Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., 
President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support 
of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.

                      ``Article I--Abuse of power

    ``The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives 
`shall have the sole Power of Impeachment' and that the President 
`shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, 
Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors'. In his 
conduct of the office of President of the United States--and in 
violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office 
of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, 
preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, 
and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws 
be faithfully executed-- Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. has abused the 
powers of the Presidency, in that:
    ``Using the powers of his high office, President Biden solicited a 
`quid pro quo' with the foreign government of Israel by withholding 
precision guided weapons shipments in order to try and extract military 
policy changes. President Biden sought to pressure the Government of 
Israel to take steps by conditioning official United States Government 
acts of significant value to Israel. After initial reports surfaced, 
President Biden confirmed them and openly stated `I made it clear that 
if they go into Rafah--they haven't gone in Rafah yet--if they go into 
Rafah, I'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically 
to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities--that deal with that 
problem.' In so doing, President Biden used the powers of the 
Presidency in a manner that compromised the national security of the 
United States and its ally Israel. He thus ignored and injured the 
interests of the Nation.
    ``Wherefore President Biden, by such conduct, thus warrants 
impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to 
hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United 
States.''.
