Rep. John B. Larson introduces H. RES. 1155 on April 6, 2026, filing 13 articles to impeach President Trump alleging murder, war crimes, piracy and abuse of power.

Introduction of H. RES. 1155

A new impeachment resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives on Monday, April 6, 2026. This resolution, H. RES. 1155, marks the most comprehensive attempt by House Democrats to impeach President Donald Trump. Introduced by Representative John B. Larson, a Democrat from Connecticut, it was immediately referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The resolution includes thirteen articles of impeachment, the most extensive set of charges ever brought against a sitting president in U.S. history.

Charges Against Trump

The resolution accuses Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors, including murder, war crimes, and piracy. These charges are linked to Trump's actions concerning Venezuela, particularly a naval blockade targeting U.S.-sanctioned oil shipments, which critics argue was an unauthorized military operation. Furthermore, the resolution addresses Trump's threats towards Iran, where he allegedly threatened massive war crimes and civilian infrastructure targeting, violating international law.

Political Reactions and Implications

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don't stop him will have blood on their hands.

Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon quickly supported the resolution on social media, reflecting the intense Democratic sentiment. However, the political reality is that Republicans hold the majority in the House, and the resolution is expected to stall in the Judiciary Committee. Past impeachment resolutions in this Congress have not advanced, and Republican leadership shows no signs of bringing this resolution to a floor vote.

Historical Context and Future Prospects

This is not the first impeachment resolution in the 119th Congress. Previous resolutions like H. RES. 353 and others were also referred to committee without advancing. What sets H. RES. 1155 apart is its scope and the inclusion of charges related to military operations. Representative Larson, at 77 years old, faces younger challengers in Connecticut, raising questions about whether this resolution is driven by legislative conviction or political strategy.
