TRUMP, DONALD J. House Calendar No. 61, 116th Congress, 1st Session, H. RES 755 [Report No. 116-346], Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. [Washington, D.C.: December 2019] 9pp. (8 1/2 x 11 in.; 216 x 279 mm). Printed Articles of Impeachment, title-page signed by Donald J. Trump ("Donald J Trump") as 45th president, 8pp. of impeachment articles. The Articles of Impeachment of President Donald J. Trump, boldly signed by the Commander in Chief "Resolved, That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate: Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors." The impeachment of Donald Trump the 45th President of the United States, was begun on 18 December 2019, when the House of Representatives approved articles on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. "Article I: Abuse of Power" argues that Trump, "[i]n his conduct of the office of President of the United States⁠—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Donald J. Trump has abused the powers of the Presidency, in that: Using the powers of his high office, President Trump solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, in the 2020 United States Presidential election." In August of 2019, a whistleblower, who was an intelligence community official, raised the alarm, alleging that the President had sought help from Ukraine's government in a bid to secure his reelection to the White House in November of 2020. Trump, it was claimed, sought an investigation into a political rival, 2020 presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden, along with his son, Hunter Biden. The whistleblower claimed that in relation to this, Trump withed $400 million dollars of military aid to Ukraine, and proposed a White House meeting with Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, both as bargaining chips. In light of this information that the whistleblower provided, the inquiry stage of the impeachment process was initiated in September 2019, and lasted through that November. Following the inquiry, a set of impeachment hearings before the House Judiciary Committee began on 4 December, and on 13 December, the Committee voted 23–17 along party lines to recommend two articles of impeachment, for abuse of power (as mentioned), and obstruction of Congress, or "Obstruction of Justice". "Article II: Obstruction of Justice" argues that Trump violated his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, "has abused the powers of the Presidency in a manner offensive to, and subversive of, the Constitution, in that: The House of Representatives has engaged in an impeachment inquiry focused on President Trump's corrupt solicitation of the Government of Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 United States Presidential election." Article II specifically accuses Trump of directing the White House to unlawfully defy subpoena through withholding documents, directing Executive Branch agencies to do the same, and ordering (then) current and former Executive Branch officials not to cooperate with committees associated with the inquiry. Trump⁠—only the third president in United States history to be impeached⁠—was ultimately acquitted by the Senate of these two counts on 5 February 2020. Earlier this year, Goldin Auctions
