Subject: Impeaching President Donald J. Trump -- Article I
Description: This vote (Article I) impeaches President Donald J. Trump for "abuse of power." The article alleges President Trump abused his presidential power by discussing with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky the credible allegations of corruption involving former 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 through its attempt to shield former Vice President Joe Biden from transparency into his use of government power for personal gain. ACU further recognizes the 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. (This vote was double- weighted due to its egregious attempt to reject the will of the people and reverse the results of the 2016 presidential election.)
Result: Agreed to, 229-198
