Tell Congressional Democrats to draft Articles of Impeachment against Trump!

Over the past few days, Axios, TIME, and PBS NewsHour have reported the same alarming facts: the White House ordered U.S. strikes in Venezuela, announced the capture of President Nicolás Maduro, and hinted at U.S. control over Venezuela’s future — all without congressional authorization. This is not a policy disagreement. It is a constitutional crisis.

Democratic members of Congress are sounding the alarm. Rep. Delia Ramirez has denounced the operation as war crimes and demanded immediate congressional action. Rep. Ilhan Omar, deputy chair of the Progressive Caucus, has called for an urgent vote to end what she says is an illegal war launched without constitutional authority.

PBS NewsHour and The New York Times report that administration officials cannot clearly explain the legal basis for the strikes or for detaining a foreign head of state. The Guardian and Al Jazeera show how Congress was completely bypassed, while Democracy Docket and Axios document growing concern among legal experts that this represents a grave abuse of executive power. The United Nations has warned that the operation risks destabilizing the region and harming civilians.

The Constitution is clear: only Congress can authorize war. When a president launches military action, detains a sitting president, and advances regime change without approval, Congress has a duty to respond.

Democrats in Congress must immediately introduce articles of impeachment related to the Venezuela operation and bring them to a vote.

Impeachment exists for moments like this. If Congress fails to act, unchecked executive power becomes the norm.

Add your name now to demand Democrats defend the Constitution before this abuse of power becomes permanent.

Thanks,
