What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryResolution to impeach President Trump
This is a resolution that impeaches President Donald Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors. It charges him with one article of impeachment: abusing his presidential powers by usurping Congress's power to declare war, which means using presidential authority in a way that overstepped Congress's constitutional role in deciding whether to go to war.
How it affects you
Impeachment is a formal charge brought by the House of Representatives, but it doesn't remove a president from office by itself. If this resolution passes, it would move to the Senate for a trial to decide whether Trump should be removed. The outcome would affect the nation's balance of power between branches of government and the precedent for presidential authority.
