A peaceful petition for constitutional accountability
America
deserves better.
When public power betrays public trust, waiting is a choice. Examine the record. Read the petition. Decide whether your name belongs beside it.
The premise
Accountability is not a partisan demand.
A republic does not ask citizens for blind faith. It asks us to judge power by evidence, constitutional duty, and the public trust.
This project argues for impeachment and removal. But it also makes a broader claim: a demand this serious should be legible enough to challenge, sourced well enough to verify, and honest about what the Constitution does—and does not—automatically provide.
Claims meet sources
Allegations and conclusions are distinguished from official findings.
No invented consensus
Public counts reflect real records, not a manufactured sense of momentum.
The constitutional standard
Impeachment is a process,
not a slogan.
The Constitution divides responsibility between the House and Senate. Removal requires more than public anger: it requires allegations, evidence, political judgment, and constitutional votes.
The people
Petition
Citizens speak, organize, document, and ask representatives to act.
The House
Impeaches
A simple majority may approve one or more articles of impeachment.
The Senate
Tries the case
Conviction and removal require a two-thirds vote of senators present.
The Constitution
Governs succession
If a president is removed, the vice president becomes president.
A necessary distinction
The petition calls for a special election. Current law does not automatically create one.
The signed text below includes a demand for Congress to establish a special election. That proposal remains part of what the original signers endorsed. Under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, however, removal of a president ordinarily makes the vice president president; current federal law does not provide a routine midterm presidential special election. The proposal would therefore require additional legal and constitutional analysis.
A constitutional remedy in practice
The standard is written.
The precedent is human.
Presidential impeachment has always been shaped by evidence, institutional courage, political loyalty, and the judgment of a particular moment.
Impeached · Senate acquittal
Andrew Johnson
The House impeached Johnson after his attempted removal of Secretary of War Edwin Stanton in conflict with the Tenure of Office Act. The Senate fell one vote short of conviction.
The first presidential trial showed how law, Reconstruction politics, and institutional conflict could become inseparable.Explore the constitutional history ↗
The House has impeached presidents; the Senate has never convicted and removed one. Nixon resigned after the House Judiciary Committee approved articles but before the full House voted.
The public record
A case should be explored,
not merely asserted.
The previous site described “24+ impeachable offenses.” Its published archive currently contains 14 grouped case files across seven categories. We preserve that history while presenting the archive at its actual size.

2prior House impeachments of Donald Trump
Allegations include efforts to remove Special Counsel Robert Mueller, directions to create a conflicting record, and public attacks on witnesses. The Mueller report did not make a traditional prosecutorial judgment on obstruction; Volume II documented evidence and legal analysis for Congress and the public.
Primary source: Mueller Report, Volume II ↗The first Trump impeachment included an article charging obstruction of Congress based on directives not to comply with House subpoenas. The House approved that article; the Senate acquitted.
Primary source: H. Res. 755 ↗The House charged that presidential power was used to solicit foreign interference for personal political benefit while military assistance and a White House meeting were withheld. The House impeached; the Senate acquitted.
Primary source: Article I, H. Res. 755 ↗The archive argues that pardons and commutations involving allies and January 6 defendants rewarded loyalty and impaired accountability. A pardon is constitutionally broad; whether its use becomes impeachable depends on purpose, context, and Congress’s judgment.
Official clemency records ↗Former Justice Department officials testified that the president pressed the department to declare the 2020 election corrupt despite the department finding no fraud sufficient to change the result.
January 6 Committee record ↗The archive alleges that continued ownership of businesses receiving foreign-government patronage created unconstitutional benefits and unresolved conflicts. Litigation raised significant questions but ended without a final merits ruling after the first term.
Constitution Annotated: Foreign Emoluments ↗Government spending at businesses owned by a sitting president raises self-dealing and Domestic Emoluments Clause concerns. The constitutional argument is distinct from any single payment’s legality.
Constitution Annotated: Domestic Emoluments ↗The House’s second article charged incitement after a sustained effort to overturn the election and the attack on the Capitol. The Senate voted 57–43 to convict, short of the required two-thirds.
Primary source: H. Res. 24 ↗The congressional record documents pressure on state officials, the Justice Department, the vice president, and the organization of alternate elector certificates in multiple states.
Primary source: January 6 Final Report ↗A federal indictment alleged willful retention of national-defense information and obstruction. The case was dismissed on an appointments-clause theory; the dismissal did not adjudicate the factual allegations at trial.
Primary source: superseding indictment ↗The archive groups several reported disclosures, including the 2017 Oval Office discussion with Russian officials and an audio-recorded 2021 conversation described in the documents indictment. Each episode carries different evidentiary and legal weight.
Review the charged document episode ↗A New York jury convicted Donald Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records. That state criminal verdict is a matter of public record; whether the underlying conduct is impeachable is a separate congressional judgment.
New York courts case page ↗The archive identifies repeated descriptions of the press as an enemy, threats involving broadcast licenses, and actions against reporters as a pattern capable of chilling protected journalism.
Read the First Amendment ↗The archive combines false fraud claims, pressure on election administrators, attacks on mail voting, and proposals to use federal authority around polling. The strongest documented portion overlaps with the 2020 election case file above.

To the Members of the 119th United States Congress:
We, the undersigned citizens of the United States, invoke our constitutional right to petition our government for redress of grievances. We call upon Congress to immediately initiate impeachment proceedings against the current administration and, upon removal, to establish a special election so that the American people may choose new leadership without delay.
This is not a partisan demand. This is a constitutional remedy. Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution explicitly provides for the removal of a President, Vice President, and all civil officers through impeachment for "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." The framers anticipated moments when elected officials would fail their duty to the people—and gave us the tools to respond. This is one of those moments.
Why Impeachment Now?
We have documented 24+ impeachable offenses across 7 constitutional categories, each with credible sources and legal analysis.
A Government That Has Lost the Trust of the People
We do not arrive at this petition lightly. Millions of Americans—across party lines, across geographic divides, across every demographic—share a common recognition: our government is not working for us. Trust in federal institutions has collapsed. Congressional approval ratings hover near historic lows. Americans on the left and right agree on little except this: the current system is broken, and those in power are either unwilling or unable to fix it.
Why We Cannot Wait Until 2028
Some will argue that the ballot box is the remedy. They will say: wait for the next election. Let the people decide in 2028. We reject this argument. Two more years of failed leadership is not acceptable when the framers provided a constitutional mechanism for removal now. Impeachment exists precisely because waiting for the next election cycle is sometimes too great a cost for the nation to bear.
History supports this position. When President Richard Nixon faced impeachment in 1974, Congress did not say "wait until 1976." They recognized that continued governance under a president who had lost legitimacy would damage the republic. We are not calling for a coup. We are demanding that Congress use the tools the Constitution provides to restore accountability and trust.
The Case for a Special Election
Upon removal through impeachment and conviction, the Presidential Succession Act would normally elevate the Vice President. But we believe this moment demands more: a special election to allow the American people to choose new leadership directly. While no presidential special election has occurred, the principle is embedded in our system: when representation fails, the people should have a voice in choosing new representatives.
A Call to Unity
This petition transcends partisan politics. We are Democrats who believe their party has lost its way. We are Republicans who no longer recognize their leadership. We are Independents exhausted by dysfunction. We are united by one conviction: America deserves better than this.
We can't afford to wait until 2028. America needs change now. Sign this petition. Share it with everyone you know. Let's show Washington that millions of Americans are united in demanding accountability. The power belongs to the people. Let's use it.
