Bill 119 H.Res. 24, also known as the "Expunging the December 18, 2019, impeachment of President Donald John Trump" bill, was introduced in the US Congress with the aim of removing the impeachment of former President Donald Trump from the official record. The bill seeks to expunge the impeachment that took place on December 18, 2019, which charged President Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Supporters of the bill argue that the impeachment was a politically motivated attack on President Trump and that it was not based on solid evidence of wrongdoing. They believe that expunging the impeachment from the record is necessary to correct what they see as an unjust stain on President Trump's legacy.
Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that the impeachment was a necessary response to President Trump's actions and that expunging it would set a dangerous precedent of erasing history for political purposes. They believe that the impeachment was a legitimate exercise of Congress's oversight powers and should not be expunged.
The bill has sparked intense debate in Congress, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle expressing strong opinions on the matter. It remains to be seen whether the bill will ultimately pass and whether the impeachment of President Trump will be expunged from the official record.
