Five Impeachment Resolutions Have Now Been Filed Against Trump in the 119th Congress

At least five separate impeachment resolutions have now been filed against President Donald Trump in the 119th Congress, according to legislative records on Congress.gov. The latest, introduced in April 2026, carries 13 articles of impeachment — the largest set of the bunch. None of the resolutions has passed, but together they form a paper trail that keeps growing.

A Growing Paper Trail

The filings began early in the current Congress. In April 2025, Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan introduced H.Res.353, a resolution containing seven articles of impeachment. A month later, Rep. Al Green of Texas — who has pursued impeachment efforts across multiple presidencies — filed a resolution of his own, following it with H.Res.537 in June 2025.

Green did not stop there. In December 2025, he forced the issue to the House floor with H.Res.939. The chamber responded by voting to table the resolution, a procedural move that set it aside without a direct vote on the articles themselves.

Then, in April 2026, Rep. John Larson of Connecticut filed H.Res.1155 — a sweeping 13-article resolution that pushed the running total of impeachment filings in this Congress to at least five.

What the Resolutions Actually Mean

It is important to be precise about where things stand: none of these resolutions has advanced. Each has been tabled, referred to committee, or remains pending. Impeachment requires a majority vote of the full House of Representatives, and so far the votes have not materialized for any of the five efforts.

Filing a resolution is the first procedural step, not the last. A resolution that sits in committee can stay there indefinitely, and a tabled resolution is effectively shelved unless it is reintroduced. That is exactly what has happened to every impeachment measure filed against Trump in the 119th Congress so far.

Supporters and Critics See Two Different Stories

Supporters of the effort argue the filings amount to a formal, public record of alleged misconduct — a case being assembled resolution by resolution, with the article count climbing from seven to thirteen along the way. They point to Green’s December floor vote as proof that members are willing to put the question on the record even when the outcome is not in doubt.

Critics, including some who oppose the White House politically, dismiss the filings as symbolic gestures that consume attention without any realistic path to passage. Tabling motions have drawn support from members of both parties, reflecting a calculation that the votes simply are not there.

What This Means for Americans

For voters, the resolutions are less about an imminent removal from office and more about accountability on the record. Every filing, committee referral, and tabling vote is documented on Congress.gov, where constituents can see exactly where their representatives stand. Whether the tally of five becomes six, or whether any resolution ever reaches a full vote, will depend on the makeup of the House — which is ultimately decided at the ballot box.
