Five separate resolutions to impeach President Donald Trump have been introduced in the 119th Congress. Not one of them has reached the House floor.
The resolutions — H.Res.353, H.Res.415, H.Res.537, H.Res.939 and H.Res.1155 — were all introduced by House Democrats over the course of the current Congress. Each was referred to committee. None has been scheduled for a vote, and with Republicans holding the majority in the House, none is expected to receive one.
Who filed them, and why
The earliest of the group came from Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan, who introduced a seven-article impeachment resolution in May 2025. It was referred to committee and went no further.
Rep. Al Green of Texas has filed twice. His first, H.Res.537, arrived in June 2025. His second, H.Res.939, was filed on December 10, 2025. Green’s resolutions accuse the president of abuse of power, of promoting violence, and of making threats against federal judges and members of Congress.
The most expansive of the five came in April 2026, when Rep. John Larson of Connecticut introduced H.Res.1155 — a resolution containing thirteen separate articles of impeachment.
The 13 articles
Larson’s resolution centers on a claim about the separation of powers: that the executive branch has repeatedly acted where the Constitution requires Congress to act first.
Among the conduct it cites is the circumvention of Congress’s war powers in connection with military strikes on Venezuela; the use of the Alien Enemies Act; the deployment of National Guard troops into American cities; the militarization of domestic law enforcement; and the executive order on birthright citizenship.
Taken together, the articles describe a pattern rather than a single incident — an argument that authority which belongs to the legislative branch has been exercised unilaterally by the executive.
Filed is not the same as advancing
It is worth being precise about what has and has not happened here, because the distinction matters.
Introducing an impeachment resolution is something any individual member of the House can do. It requires no committee approval, no leadership sign-off, and no support from any colleague. The resolution is filed, assigned a number, and referred to the Judiciary Committee. That is where all five of these now sit.
What has not happened: no committee has taken up any of them. No markup has been held. No floor vote has been scheduled. The president is not, in any procedural sense, facing an active impeachment proceeding. The resolutions exist on the record and nowhere else.
That is a function of arithmetic. The House is controlled by Republicans, and the majority party decides what receives a vote. As long as that holds, these resolutions stay in committee regardless of what they allege.
Why file at all
If the outcome is predetermined, the obvious question is why members keep filing.
The answer is that a filed resolution creates a formal record. It puts specific allegations into the Congressional Record under a member’s name, with articles that can be cited, debated, and pointed to later. It forces the conduct it describes to be named in an official document rather than argued about in the abstract.
It also functions as a marker. Every one of these five resolutions is a statement that a member of Congress believes the conduct described rises to the level of impeachable offenses — and that the failure to act on them is a choice being made by someone else.
Where it stands
Five resolutions. Multiple members. Thirteen articles in the most recent one. All referred to committee, all frozen there, none scheduled for a vote.
For now, the only place this question gets decided is outside the Capitol — in public opinion, and at the ballot box.
