According to a report by EFE on April 28, U.S. House of Representatives member Shri Thanedar became the first Democrat in Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against U.S. President Donald Trump on April 28. However, due to the control of Congress by the Republican Party, this initiative has very limited chances of success. The report stated that this Indian-American representative from Michigan said on his personal website: "Trump has repeatedly proven himself unfit for the presidency and poses an obvious threat to our country's constitution and democracy." He believed that the actions taken by this Republican president during his first one hundred days in office have "undermined the judicial system, violated the principle of separation of powers, and placed personal power and private interests above public service." "We can no longer afford to wait for more harm to occur. Congress must take action," he said. His motion includes seven articles of impeachment, known as "articles of impeachment." These include obstruction of justice, usurping the power of appropriations, abusing trade rights, and engaging in international aggression through the imposition of "economically harmful tariffs and threats of military invasion of sovereign states." Thanedar also accused Trump of violating the right to free speech protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution and establishing an "illegal" office. He was clearly referring to the Government Efficiency Department led by Musk, which has been at the forefront in cutting federal administrative expenditures and streamlining bureaucratic practices. He believed that Americans deserve honest and responsible leadership instead of authoritarianism. He said: "This is not about party politics; it is about protecting our democracy and ensuring that no one, not even the president, is above the law." During Trump's first term (2017-2021), he was impeached twice—once in December 2019 and again in January 2021—and was acquitted by the U.S. Senate in both cases. The report stated that Thanedar's motion must be submitted for a vote by the House of Representatives controlled by Republicans. If the House passes these articles, the trial to decide whether to remove the president from office will be conducted by the equally conservative-controlled Senate.
