One month. 744 hours. 44,640 minutes. As of 12:00 pm ET, that is how long Donald Trump has been President of the United States in his second term. But to the tens of millions of Americans whose livelihoods and whose lives are endangered by President Trump, it has felt like a lifetime.

We know that with a GOP-controlled Congress, this goal is unlikely to be achieved, but we nonetheless are spurred by the gravity of Trump’s actions. If Congress does not act, history will judge every one of its members for their inaction at such an existential crossroads for our nation.

President Trump has fully betrayed the public trust. There is clear precedent for this: 155 years ago, President Andrew Johnson was impeached for actions that constituted executive overreach and which, like President Trump’s, usurped power from Congress.

Trump's subversion of the Constitution of the United States constitutes the high crimes and misdemeanors required by the Constitution to impeach a president. President Trump’s executive overreach will only grow more widespread and damaging if it is not immediately put to a stop by Congress.

President Trump’s unconstitutional attempt to undo the Fourteenth Amendment via an Executive order to abolish birthright citizenship flies in the face of even the loosest possible reading of the Constitution.
