This resolution impeaches President Joseph Robinette Biden for abuse of power by enabling bribery and other high
crimes and misdemeanors.
Specifically, the resolution sets forth an article of impeachment stating that, in his former role as Vice President,
President Biden abused the power of that office through enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors by
allowing his son Hunter Biden to influence the domestic policy of a foreign nation and accept benefits from foreign
nationals in exchange for favors.
The article states that, by such conduct, President Biden
endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of government;
threatened the integrity of the democratic system;
interfered with the peaceful transition of power;
imperiled a coordinate branch of government; and
demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to
remain in office.
The article also states that this conduct warrants immediate impeachment, trial, and removal from office and
disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
