What’s needed is an impeachment that addresses all of Trump’s federal crimes and violations of his oath—to detail exactly what he has done that no president should be allowed to do. Fortunately, we have a model for just such a comprehensive approach in the articles of impeachment introduced by Rep. Steve Cohen, Democrat of Tennessee, on September 24, 2026. The 26 articles are as follows:

• Article I: Undermining Democracy—Sowing Doubt in Elections
• Article II: Abuse of Power—Waging War on Iran Without Congressional Approval
• Article III: Abuse of Power—Extrajudicial Killings in International Waters of Venezuela
• Article IV: Abuse of Power—Deploying Military Forces Against United States Cities
• Article V: Violation of Oath—The Birthright Citizenship Executive Order
• Article VI: Abuse of Power—Canceling Federal Grants to Punish States for Their Votes
• Article VII: Abuse of Power—Imposing Loyalty Tests on the Federal Workforce
• Article VIII: Disregard of Courts—the Alien Enemies Act and the Case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia
• Article IX: Violation of Oath—Cruel and Unusual Punishment at CECOT
• Article X: Violation of Oath—Unlawful Withholding of Appropriated Funds and Dismantling of Congressionally Established Programs
• Article XI: Abuse of Power—Obstructing the Lawful Appointment of United States Attorneys
• Article XII: Abuse of Power—Defying Court Orders in Immigration Enforcement
• Article XIII: Abolishing a Congressionally Mandated Agency—the Department of Education
• Article XIV: Violation of Oath—Unlawful Mass Termination of Inspectors General Without Statutory Notice to Congress
• Article XV: Unlawfully and Unilaterally Taxing United States Citizens Through Emergency Powers Tariffs
• Article XVI: Abuse of Power—Political Prosecutions of Comey, James and Schiff
• Article XVII: Abuse of Power—The IRS Settlement and the Corruption of the Judgment Fund
• Article XVIII: Abuse of Power—The Corrupt Use of the Pardon Power
• Article XIX: Attacks on a Free Press—Banishing Reporters From the White House for Disfavored Coverage
• Article XX: Attacks on a Free Press—Coercing CBS and ABC to Change Editorial Content
• Article XXI: Violation of Oath—Free Speech and Retaliatory Executive Orders Against Law Firms
• Article XXII: Violation of Oath—Free Speech and Coercing Universities Through Withheld Federal Funds
• Article XXIII: Abuse of Power—Demolishing the White House East Wing Without Congressional Approval
• Article XXIV: Violation of Oath—the Illegal Impoundment of Appropriated Funds
• Article XXV: Abuse of Power—Self-Aggrandizement Through the Renaming of Public Institutions, Seizure of Cultural and Civic Property, and Personal Appropriation of National Currency
• Article XXVI: Emoluments Violations—Profiting Personally and Directly From the Presidency

Impeachment in the House is only bringing charges. It means nothing. The Senate will vote not guilty just like Jan 6th. It will exonerate Trump.
