This resolution seeks to erase from the congressional record the two impeachments of President Donald Trump that occurred in December 2019 and January 2021. The measure proposes to expunge, or officially remove, these impeachments as though they never happened, essentially erasing them from House history. The resolution is supported by Republican lawmakers who argue that both impeachments were politically motivated and fundamentally flawed, citing issues such as the credibility of the whistleblower in the first impeachment and the expedited process used for the second. The measure contains no funding requirements or implementation timelines since expungement is a procedural matter handled within the House. If passed, this resolution would be primarily symbolic, as it would not change the fact that impeachments occurred or affect any legal consequences, but would reflect the current Republican majority's view of those historical events.
