Efforts to impeach Trump

Efforts to impeach him began even before he took office. The basis of impeachment was due to the 35-page Russian dossier, a series of private leaked intelligence documents by a British MI6 officer that detailed Trump's misconducts during his campaigns.

The file stated that Russia has embarrassing information such as his sexual and financial wrongdoings that could be used to blackmail him. Another reason Congress members want him impeached was due to his association with Russian officials. No concrete evidence of this relationship with Russia has emerged. He also has obstruction of justice allegations and is accused of colluding with the U.S justice department and the heads of FBI to end or slow down investigations against him.

Trump is also accused of disclosing classified information to Russia that would threaten the countries national security. Other allegations include sexual misconducts against 15 women between the 1980's and 2013. He is also accused of violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause that prevents government officials from gaining financially from foreign governments.

What happens if Trump is impeached?

If Trump happens to be impeached, the vice president will be his successor. Others that are in the line of his succession include the speaker of the house of representative and the president of the senate. Impeachment could be successful if Trump committed crimes such as bribery, treason and high crimes and misdemeanours during his time in office.
