This resolution expunges the January 13, 2021, impeachment of President Trump.

Bill 118 H.Res. 547, also known as the Expunging the January 13, 2021, impeachment of President Donald John Trump, is a proposed legislation in the US Congress. The bill aims to expunge the impeachment of former President Donald Trump that took place on January 13, 2021.

The bill seeks to remove the impeachment from the official record, essentially erasing it as if it never happened. This would mean that the impeachment would no longer be considered a part of President Trump's legacy or historical record.

Supporters of the bill argue that the impeachment was politically motivated and unjust, and that expunging it would correct what they see as a mistake. They believe that the impeachment was a partisan attack on President Trump and that it should not be allowed to tarnish his reputation. Opponents of the bill argue that expunging the impeachment would set a dangerous precedent and undermine the constitutional process of impeachment. They believe that the impeachment was justified based on President Trump's actions and that it should remain on the official record. Overall, Bill 118 H.Res. 547 is a controversial piece of legislation that raises questions about the role of impeachment in American politics and the power of Congress to hold the President accountable for their actions.
