Bill 119 HRES 25, 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 remove the impeachment of former President Donald Trump that took place on January 13, 2021, from the official records.
The bill is controversial as it seeks to erase the historical record of the impeachment of President Trump, which was the second impeachment of his presidency. The impeachment was based on charges of incitement of insurrection following the violent attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Supporters of the bill argue that the impeachment was politically motivated and unfair to President Trump. They believe that expunging the impeachment from the record is necessary to correct what they see as a wrongful action by Congress.
Opponents of the bill argue that the impeachment was a necessary response to President Trump's actions and that removing it from the record would be a dangerous precedent. They believe that the impeachment should stand as a reminder of the consequences of inciting violence and undermining democracy.
The bill is currently being debated in Congress, and its outcome is uncertain. It has sparked intense debate and divided opinions among lawmakers and the public. The final decision on the bill will have significant implications for the historical record of President Trump's presidency and the accountability of elected officials.
