This House resolution, introduced June 24, 2025 by Representatives Al Green and André Carson, impeaches President Donald J. Trump for "high crimes and misdemeanors." The resolution includes one article (Article I) that alleges abuse of presidential power for ordering U.S. military attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites (Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan) on June 21, 2025 without prior congressional authorization or appropriate notice to congressional leaders. The article says the President announced the strikes on his social media account (Truth Social), that foreign leaders were given advance notice while Congress was not, and that Iran did not pose an imminent threat to the United States. The article cites Article I, Section 8 (Congress's power to declare war) and says this conduct violated the President's constitutional duties and threatened American democracy. The resolution directs that the article be exhibited to the Senate.
If the House adopts the resolution, it impeaches the President and sends the articles of impeachment to the Senate for a trial. The text provided shows the resolution was laid on the table and that a motion to reconsider was laid on the table "agreed to without objection." No outcome from a Senate trial or removal from office is included in the available material.

The resolution's text says supporters view the President's actions as an unlawful usurpation of Congress's sole power to declare war, an abuse of the presidency, and a threat to democracy. It asserts the President used military force without required congressional authorization or proper notice, announced the strikes on social media, and thereby subverted the separation of powers.
