H.Res. 537 — Impeaching Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This section impeaches Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors and exhibits articles of impeachment to the Senate.

This section impeaches President Donald J. Trump for abusing the powers of the presidency by usurping Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution. It states that on June 21, 2025, President Trump ordered U.S. military strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—without prior congressional authorization or appropriate notice to congressional leaders, following Israel’s June 12, 2025, initiation of attacks on Iran and subsequent Iranian retaliation. The section asserts that no imminent threat to the United States existed, that foreign leaders received advance notice while Congress did not, and that these actions violate the War Powers Clause and facilitate the devolution of American democracy into authoritarianism.
