The United States House of Representatives, pursuant to the exclusive
authority granted to it in Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution of
the United States hereby specifies the following Articles of Impeachment
of the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump,
Resolved:
Article II: The President of the United States abused the authority of his
office, in violation of his oath to faithfully execute the duties of President, by directing senior officials of the Executive
Branch to refuse a duly authorized demand by the United States
House Ways & Means Committee of the Internal Revenue Service to
produce tax returns of the President that are required pursuant
to a valid provision of the United States Code.

*Robert Mueller's public statement yesterday is an unmistakable indication that the Special Counsel intended his 420+ page investigative report to be an impeachment referral. He told the public that his office did not think it had the constitutional authority to bring charges against the President of the United States, that authority belonging exclusively to the House of Representatives under Article I, Section 2. Will Congress fulfill its fundamental obligation in the face of open defiance by a co-equal branch of government ? Or is it that our government is so corrupted that it can no longer according to constitutional norms? Only House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remains to be convinced that an impeachment inquiry must begin. Investigation under another name detracts from congressional legitimacy, legally and morally. Mueller owes it to the country to be the first witness, subpoenaed or not. Mueller himself said Wednesday, " The Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing,” Amen; impeachment now!.
