Just a few weeks into his second term as U.S. President, Donald Trump is already facing calls for impeachment—again. If you’ve been following along, this isn’t his first time dealing with impeachment. With his latest policies causing controversy, his opponents are pushing for his removal, which would make him the president with the most impeachments in history. A new petition demanding his removal is quickly gaining support and has already gotten over 100,000 signatures.
Why are people pushing for Trump’s impeachment again?
Many people, including some of his former supporters, are losing faith in Trump. During his first term, he was impeached twice—a record for any U.S. president. The first impeachment, in 2019, was over allegations that he pressured Ukraine for political favors. The second, in 2021, came after the January 6th Capitol riot, where he was accused of encouraging an insurrection. Both times, the Senate acquitted him.
Now, less than two months into his second term, calls for impeachment are back and stronger than ever. Texas Representative Al Green plans to introduce new impeachment articles over Trump’s controversial comments about taking control of Gaza.
At the same time, the nonprofit group *Free Speech for People* has started a petition asking Congress to investigate Trump for corruption, abuse of power, and violating the Emoluments Clause (which prevents presidents from using their position for personal financial gain). The petition also criticizes Trump for signing an executive order to end birthright citizenship for some children born in the U.S. and for firing key government officials.
Signing the petition is easy. You can do it at **impeachtrumpagain.org**, where you’ll just need to enter your name and contact information. Supporters are also asking people to share the petition on social media using hashtags like #ImpeachTrumpAgain on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Others are spreading the word through emails, texts, and online forums to get more signatures.
Every share helps keep the movement alive and increases the chances of the petition reaching more people. If the petition continues to grow, it could put pressure on lawmakers to take action. While impeachment requires approval from the House and a trial in the Senate, a strong public response can influence the conversation in Washington.
Will this petition actually lead to impeachment? It’s hard to say. For now, it’s a way for Trump’s critics to make their voices heard and push lawmakers to act. But let’s be honest—if Trump has already been impeached twice and nothing changed, it’s unclear if a third attempt will work. Maybe this energy could be better spent on something more effective than a petition?
