Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Last action on Dec 11, 2025House: On Motion to Table

Summary

H.Res. 939 is a House resolution that would impeach President Donald Trump on charges of high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution was introduced on December 10, 2025, and was brought to the House floor on December 11, 2025, as a question of the privileges of the House, a procedural mechanism for raising matters of significant constitutional importance.

Impeachment is a formal charge brought by the House of Representatives against a federal official. If this resolution passes the House, it would then move to the Senate for a trial. The Senate would need a two-thirds majority vote to convict and remove the President from office. The resolution itself does not specify the particular offenses alleged, as no official summary has been provided.

For citizens, this resolution represents a significant constitutional process. An impeachment does not automatically remove a president from office; it is merely the formal charge. The actual removal would require conviction in the Senate trial. This process would likely dominate national political attention and could affect the functioning of government during the proceedings. The outcome would depend on Senate votes and the specific evidence and arguments presented during any trial.

VoteMotion to TableHouse

On December 11, 2025, the House of Representatives voted 237-140 to table H.Res. 939, a resolution that would have impeached President Donald Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors. By passing the motion to table, the House killed the impeachment resolution without holding a direct vote on whether the charges had merit. The vote was largely along party lines. All 214 Republicans present voted to table the resolution, while 140 Democrats voted against tabling it. Twenty-three Democrats joined Republicans in voting to table, indicating some Democratic support for setting aside the impeachment effort without a substantive vote. With the tabling motion successful, the impeachment resolution is disposed of and will not receive further consideration in the House. The procedural move allowed members to avoid a recorded vote specifically on the impeachment charges themselves. Democrats who opposed tabling the motion sought to keep the resolution alive for debate and a direct vote on its merits.

NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OFFER RESOLUTION - Mr. Green (TX) notified the House of his intent to offer a privileged resolution pursuant to clause 2(a)(1) of rule IX. The Chair announced that a determination will be made at the time designated for consideration of the resolution.

Dec 10, 2025
