The petition to impeach President Donald Trump, initiated by the group Free Speech for People, has garnered more than 250,000 signatures. Advocacy members, like John Bonifaz, argue that Trump's continued abuses of power threaten democratic governance. Texas Representative Al Green has signaled a forthcoming introduction of new impeachment articles, having recently faced censure for protesting Trump's address. Green emphasizes that when a president disregards court orders, he risks becoming a dictator, making urgent the case for constitutional checks via impeachment.
This president has already committed multiple abuses of power since assuming the presidency, and the framers designed the Constitution to ensure that we would not have a monarch or a tyrant govern this nation. When we see these abuses of power, we have to invoke this impeachment clause.
Impeachment is a remedy for a runaway president who believes that there are no guardrails, who believes that the Supreme Court has placed him above the law, and who is now very close to a point where he will not honor court orders.
