How We Impeach Trump, Vance, and Johnson
Step-by-Step Process (Same for All Three)
Start in the House of Representatives
Articles of impeachment are introduced—either by a member or via a committee.
Investigations may precede formal articles.
House Votes
A simple majority vote is needed to impeach (like an indictment).
Senate Trial
Each individual gets a separate trial in the Senate.
If it’s the President (Trump), the Chief Justice presides.
If it’s Vance or Johnson, the Vice President or Senate President Pro Tempore might preside.
Conviction Requires Two-Thirds Vote in Senate
If convicted, they are removed from office.
Criminal charges can follow, but impeachment itself is a political process.
Why Impeach Trump, Vance, and Johnson?
Trump
Inciting insurrection (again)
Using presidential powers for personal enrichment
Election interference or obstruction of justice
Abuse of the pardon power or weaponizing the DOJ
Violating constitutional rights or defying the courts
Vance
Aiding and abetting Trump’s abuses
Refusing to certify a lawful election
Engaging in political persecution or unconstitutional behavior
Using VP role to manipulate Senate decisions
Johnson
Manipulating legislative process to shield Trump
Obstruction of justice via legislative cover-ups
Promoting unconstitutional laws or election denialism
Coordinated efforts to undermine the peaceful transfer of power
Why This Matters
This isn’t just about corruption or criminality—it’s about protecting democracy. Impeachment is meant to be rare, but it’s there for moments like:
When leaders stop serving the people
When they ignore the Constitution
When they use power to hold onto power
If Trump, Vance, and Johnson act in concert to subvert democracy, impeachment could be a vital constitutional remedy.
