House Resolution 24, introduced in the House of Representatives on January 9, 2025, seeks to expunge the December 18, 2019, impeachment of President Donald John Trump. The resolution is sponsored by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and co-sponsored by nine other representatives. The resolution argues that President Trump was wrongfully accused of misconduct in House Resolution 755, which impeached him for high crimes and misdemeanors. The sponsors of H. Res. 24 claim that the information revealed in an unclassified FD-1023 FBI document demonstrates that the articles of impeachment did not meet the burden of proving that President Trump committed "high Crimes and Misdemeanors" as required by Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. If passed, the resolution would effectively nullify the December 18, 2019, impeachment, treating it as if the articles of impeachment had never been approved by the full House of Representatives.
In December 2019, the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump. Now, some members of Congress want to undo that impeachment. They have introduced a new resolution, House Resolution 24, which says that President Trump was wrongly accused of doing something bad. The people who wrote this new resolution believe that an FBI document shows that there wasn't enough evidence to prove that President Trump did anything wrong that would justify impeaching him. They argue that the Constitution requires a president to have committed "high Crimes and Misdemeanors" to be impeached, and they don't think the 2019 impeachment met that standard. If this new resolution passes, it would be like the 2019 impeachment never happened. It would erase the impeachment from the record, as if the House had never voted on it in the first place.
