Mic -Donald Trump will take the oath of office to become president on Friday, but many are already speculating that his presidency won’t last long. Some, in fact, have been hoping for Trump’s impeachment since the night of his election.

Trump hiring his son-in-law Jared Kushner to be White House advisor will not violate federal anti-nepotism laws, the Justice Department concluded Friday, the day Trump took office. Nepotism laws are there to keep those with power from abusing it. But somehow it doesn’t apply to the most powerful office in the world? Apparently, “when the president does it, that means that it is NOT illegal.” -Nixon 1977

The inauguration speech we need, but not the one we will have… #ImpeachTrump
IfP announces the release of the Trump Formal Impeachment Petition. This method for impeaching a President uses a rarely used part of the Rules of the House of Representatives (“Jefferson’s Manual”). This document empowers individual citizens to initiate the impeachment process themselves. Our previous versions of this document were merely PDFs that people could download and send in themselves. This left us without the ability to track our progress toward impeaching any particular individual. Upon the inauguration of President Donald Trump, we have released a new version of the document that can be filled out online, and will allow us to track the progress nationwide, and state-by-state, as individuals fill out the petition.
