Advocacy Group Presses New Congress for Third Trump Impeachment

The organization, which reports over 1.1 million signatures on its petition, insists that lawmakers fulfill their oath of office by addressing what it describes as a corrupt executive. John Bonifaz, president of the group, warned that failing to act would set a precedent allowing future presidents to operate above the law. This push follows a September vote where 147 House Democrats supported advancing impeachment articles introduced by Rep. Al Green over the administration's immigration enforcement policies.

However, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has signaled a more cautious approach, stating he has received no internal pressure to pursue removal. Jeffries emphasized that the caucus remains focused on economic affordability and establishing the House as a coequal branch of government rather than an extension of the executive. Meanwhile, Rep. Jamie Raskin, the incoming chair of the House Judiciary Committee, refused to rule out a third impeachment. While acknowledging the political difficulty of a Senate conviction, Raskin characterized the process as a vital instrument of constitutional self-defense against a president he claims acts with imperial impunity.
