As Pres. Trump prepares to mark 100 days in office, Michigan Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar has introduced seven articles of impeachment against the president — laying out a slate of broad charges including committing “acts of tyranny.” There’s virtually no shot that Democrats can overcome a Republican firewall to successfully impeach and convict the president, but this move foreshadows the Democratic course of action if they win back the majority in next year’s midterm elections.

“Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy,” Thanedar stated. “His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service. We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act.”
