H.Res. 1486 · Government Operations and Politics
Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Introduced Aug 24, 2026 · Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
What does this mean?

This is a resolution in the House of Representatives that formally accuses President Donald Trump of "high crimes and misdemeanors," the Constitution's standard for impeachment, which is the first step in a process that can lead to a president's removal from office. It contains a single charge: that he abused the powers of the presidency by allowing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE, the agency that finds and deports people living in the country illegally) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP, the agency that patrols borders and ports of entry) to operate in ways that violate the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments. Those amendments protect free speech and assembly, guard against unreasonable searches and seizures, and guarantee fair legal treatment. The charge also says he undermined judicial oversight, meaning the ability of courts to check what these agencies do. The resolution itself only makes the accusation. Removing a president would require the House to vote to impeach and then the Senate to hold a trial and convict, and the summary does not say either of those has happened.
