H. RES. 939
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
December 10, 2025
Mr. Green of Texas submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States for high crimes and misdemeanors.
That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is an abuser of Presidential power who, if left in office, will continue to promote the incitement of violence, engender invidious hate, undermine our democracy, and dissolve our Republic, that he is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:
Articles 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 Donald J. Trump, 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 Presidential Power by Calling for the Execution of Members of Congress
In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Donald John Trump, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of the 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, has unfaithfully, dangerously, and unconstitutionally abused his official position by threatening Democratic lawmakers in Congress with execution.
President Trump called for the execution of six Democratic lawmakers, all of whom are currently serving in the U.S. Senate or U.S. House of Representatives and who previously served in the U.S. Military or in U.S. Intelligence communities, in response to a short video that they posted on November 18, 2025. In their video, the Democratic lawmakers appropriately urged current members of the military and intelligence communities to adhere to the Constitution and the laws of our country. They specifically said: “Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”
On November 20, 2025, in response, President Trump called for their execution. In one social media post, he wrote: “It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand—We won’t have a Country anymore An example MUST BE SET. President DJT.” In another, he wrote of the lawmakers: “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Dangerously and unconstitutionally, he reposted a third party’s post: “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!!”
President Trump’s call for the execution of lawmakers is a reckless and flagrant abuse of Presidential power that promotes extra-judicial punishment and the assassination of Members of Congress, and warrants impeachment by the U.S. House of Representatives and trial by the Senate.

Article II: Abuse of Presidential Power to Intimidate Federal Judges in Violation of the Separation of Powers and Independence of the Judiciary
In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Donald John Trump, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully 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, has unfaithfully, dangerously, and unconstitutionally abused his official position by threatening Federal judges.
President Trump has fostered a political climate in which lawmakers and judges face threats of political violence and physical assault; and in this climate has made threats and vituperative comments against Federal judges, putting at risk their safety and well-being, and undermining the independence of our judiciary.
Case in point, in response to a Federal district court ruling with which President Trump disagreed, he posted: “This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President … This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED”
Another U.S. District Chief Judge has reported receiving increased numbers of violent threats, particularly after he began hearing arguments in a lawsuit against the Trump administration.
In 2025, roughly a third of the Federal judiciary has been flooded with threats, with data showing that these threats spike each time Trump uses abusive rhetoric against judges.
On May 2, 2025, Reuters reported that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson addressed President Donald Trump’s attacks on the judiciary. The relevant part of the article stated as follows:
“(1)
“U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said on Thursday attacks by Republican President Donald Trump and his allies on judges were ‘not random’ and seemed ‘designed to intimidate the judiciary.”
(2)
Specifically, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Jackson remarked that, “The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity.”
(3)
Justice Jackson added, “The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution and the rule of law.” .
The judiciary is afforded power over “all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made” and “to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party.” U.S. Const. art. III, sec. 2. Intimidating judges, and recklessly calling for the impeachment and removal of judges who disagree with him demonstrate a willingness by Trump to usurp authority afforded by our Constitution to the judiciary and demonstrate a disregard for the Constitution and the careful balance of powers that protects our country from abuses by any single branch.
President Trump’s threats place the lives of Federal judges, court officials, and innocent bystanders at risk, promote the incitement of violence, and undermine our democracy, which cannot survive where President Trump’s incendiary comments engender invidious hate and where dissent is punishable by death.
In all of this, Donald John Trump has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore Donald John Trump, by such conduct, warrants impeachment, trial, and removal from office.
