Every Impeachment Resolution Against Trump and His Cabinet, 2025-26

by

House Democrats filed 15 impeachment resolutions against President Trump or Cabinet-level officials in the 119th Congress: seven against Trump and eight against six members of his administration. None advanced. The House tabled three of the Trump resolutions on recorded votes, and the other 12 were referred to the Judiciary Committee, where they remain without action.

Every resolution below is an accusation by its sponsors, not a finding. Republicans “have consistently rejected claims that Trump’s actions rise to the level of impeachable conduct, dismissing such arguments as partisan attacks,” as Newsweek summarized, and the president has made the same argument. When Democrats filed articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in April 2026, the Pentagon called it “just another charade.”

Where it stands: The most recent floor vote came on September 15, 2026, when the House tabled Rep. Al Green’s H.Res. 1486 by 232-147, with 47 members voting present. Rep. Steve Cohen filed a 26-article resolution nine days later. Any resolution not acted on expires when the 119th Congress ends in January 2027.

What are impeachment resolutions, and where do they go?

An impeachment resolution is a House measure proposing articles of impeachment, the formal charges against a federal official. Any member can file one. Under House practice, “the Committee on the Judiciary ordinarily has jurisdiction over impeachments,” so most are referred there and wait for the committee to act.

A sponsor can also force a floor vote by offering the resolution as privileged, meaning it must be taken up within a set time. Leaders usually respond with a motion to table, a vote to set it aside without debate. That is what happened to each of Green’s three Trump resolutions that reached the floor.

Which impeachment resolutions targeted Trump?

Resolution Sponsor Filed Outcome
H.Res. 353 Shri Thanedar (Mich.) April 28, 2025 Referred to Judiciary; seven articles
H.Res. 415 Al Green (Texas) May 15, 2025 Referred to Judiciary
H.Res. 537 Al Green 2025 Tabled June 24, 2025, 344-79
H.Res. 939 Al Green December 2025 Tabled December 11, 2025, 237-140, 47 present
H.Res. 1155 John Larson (Conn.) April 6, 2026 Referred to Judiciary
H.Res. 1486 Al Green August 24, 2026 Tabled September 15, 2026, 232-147, 47 present
H.Res. 1575 Steve Cohen (Tenn.), per Newsweek Sept. 24, 2026 Referred to Judiciary; 26 articles

Green’s latest attempt focused on immigration enforcement; CBS News reported it “sought to impeach Mr. Trump over the conduct of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection.” Cohen’s is the longest. Newsweek, which reported the filing, cautioned that “the claims contained in the resolution are allegations made by Cohen and do not themselves establish that Trump committed impeachable offenses.” The text of H.Res. 1575 was not yet posted on govinfo when we checked, so the sponsor match rests on its date and Newsweek’s report.

Which Cabinet officials face impeachment resolutions?

Six officials have been named in eight resolutions. Each went to the Judiciary Committee; not one got a vote.

Resolution Introduced Target (department) Lead sponsor
H.Res. 935 December 9, 2025 Pete Hegseth (Defense) Rep. Shri Thanedar
H.Res. 944 December 10, 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (HHS) Rep. Haley Stevens, joined by Rep. Eric Swalwell
H.Res. 996 January 14, 2026 Kristi Noem (DHS; later removed) Rep. Robin Kelly
H.Res. 1105 March 4, 2026 Pam Bondi (Justice; later removed) Rep. Shri Thanedar
H.Res. 1119 March 17, 2026 Pam Bondi (Justice; later removed) Rep. Summer Lee
H.Res. 1177 April 15, 2026 Pete Hegseth (Defense) Rep. Yassamin Ansari
H.Res. 1391 June 25, 2026 Linda McMahon (Education) Rep. Suzanne Bonamici
H.Res. 1479 August 6, 2026 Russell Vought (OMB) Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove

Hegseth and Bondi are each named twice. Ansari’s resolution includes an article on his use of the Signal app to discuss a pending strike in Yemen. News outlets counted five or six articles, depending on the report. The Hill summarized the Defense Department inspector general’s conclusion that Hegseth “jeopardized troop safety and violated department policy,” while noting that the department called the report a “total exoneration.” Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson called the impeachment effort “just another charade in an attempt to distract the American people from the major successes we have had here at the Department of War.” The IG findings themselves are covered in our piece on the Hegseth Signal report.

No impeachment resolution against FBI Director Kash Patel appears in the 119th Congress listing.

How did Democratic leaders vote on the impeachment resolutions?

They declined to back them. On H.Res. 939 in December 2025, the AP reported that Democratic leaders “notably declined to oppose the resolution outright,” voting present instead. On H.Res. 1486 in September 2026, Newsweek reported that 46 Democrats, “including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Minority Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar of California,” voted present. Their joint statement said impeachment “traditionally requires a comprehensive investigative process” and that “none of that serious work has been done, with the Republican majority focused solely on rubber stamping Donald Trump’s extreme agenda.” Thomas Massie of Kentucky was the only Republican to join them in voting present. For what they say a majority would do, see the leadership’s stated position on impeaching Trump.

Have Republicans filed impeachment resolutions too?

Yes, on two fronts. Massie introduced his own resolution against Hegseth, accusing him of “engaging in hostilities in Iran for more than 90 days without congressional authorization.” It contains eight articles. Its House number did not appear in the congress.gov listing we pulled on October 26.

Republican members have also filed at least 16 resolutions to impeach federal district judges, all referred to the Judiciary Committee, according to the congress.gov listing. One of them was H.Res. 229, filed March 18, 2025 by Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas against Chief Judge James Boasberg. Separately, Cohen filed H.Res. 1309 on May 21, 2026 to impeach Chief Justice John Roberts.

What would it take for one of these to succeed?

A House majority willing to vote, then a Senate trial. The last Cabinet impeachment shows how that can end: Alejandro Mayorkas, then running Homeland Security, was impeached by the House on February 13, 2024. On April 17, 2024, senators threw out the charges as unconstitutional, with no trial held. The procedure for Cabinet officers is laid out in our guide to impeaching a Cabinet secretary, and the broader stakes in our hub on Democrats’ plans. As of late October, 12 of the 15 Democratic resolutions were still sitting in the Judiciary Committee.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many impeachment resolutions have been filed against Trump in his second term?

Seven in the 119th Congress through October 2026: H.Res. 353, 415, 537, 939, 1155, 1486 and 1575. Three were tabled on floor votes and four were referred to the Judiciary Committee.

Has Pete Hegseth been impeached?

No. Two Democratic resolutions (H.Res. 935 and 1177) and one from Republican Rep. Thomas Massie have been filed, but none has received a House vote.

What does it mean when the House tables an impeachment resolution?

A motion to table sets the resolution aside without debate. It kills that resolution for the moment, though members can file new ones.

Why did Jeffries vote present on impeachment?

Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar said impeachment requires a comprehensive investigation that had not been done in the Republican-led House, and voted present on the motion to table.

What happens to impeachment resolutions when Congress ends?

Resolutions that are not acted on expire at the end of the two-year Congress. Members would have to file new ones in the 120th Congress.
