Subject: Convicting President Donald J. Trump -- Article I of Impeachment

Description: This is the first of two outrageous articles of impeachment brought by Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) and Democratic Minority Leader Schumer (D-NY) to reverse the results of the 2016 presidential election. This vote (Article I of Impeachment) wrongly alleges that President Donald J. Trump abused his presidential powers when he spoke with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky about the corruption involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son. ACU finds it especially ironic that this impeachment hoax was deployed to cover up the very behavior it claimed to condemn (it was in fact the Biden family that profited from the Vice President's official position). ACU further recognizes the U.S. Constitution permits impeachment only in cases of "treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors" and that the framers explicitly rejected the parliamentary system wherein a legislative body may remove an executive merely because legislators dislike the president. ACU opposes this coup against a president who has courageously fought for and advanced countless conservative principles and policies. A two-thirds majority vote is required to convict. (This vote is double-weighted due to its egregious attempt to reject the will of the people and reverse the results of the 2016 presidential election.)
