                               RESOLUTION


 
    Impeaching Joseph R. Biden, President of the United States, for 
 dereliction of duty by leaving behind thousands of American civilians 
 and Afghan allies, along with numerous taxpayer-financed weapons and 
 military equipment, endangering the lives of the American people and 
                   the security of the United States.

    Resolved, That Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United 
States, is impeached for dereliction of duty by leaving behind 
thousands of American civilians and Afghan allies, along with numerous 
taxpayer-financed weapons and military equipment, endangering the lives 
of the American people and the security of the United States, and that 
the following Articles of Impeachment be exhibited to the United States 
Senate:
     Articles of Impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives 
of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people 
of the United States of America, against Joseph Robinette Biden, 
President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support 
of its impeachment against him for dereliction of duty by leaving 
behind thousands of American civilians and Afghan allies, along with 
numerous taxpayer-financed weapons and military equipment, endangering 
the lives of the American people and the security of the United States.
    The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives ``shall 
have the sole Power of Impeachment'' and that the President ``shall be 
removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, 
Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.''.
    In his conduct as President of the United States, in violation of 
his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of the 
President of the United States, and, to the best of his ability, 
preserve, protect, defend, the Constitution of the United States--
Joseph Robinette Biden showed dereliction of duty by leaving behind 
thousands of American civilians and Afghan allies, along with numerous 
taxpayer-financed weapons and military equipment, endangering the lives 
of the American people and the security of the United States.
                       article i
    Whereas Joe Biden failed to secure the extraction of thousands of 
American civilians and Afghan allies before and during the withdrawal 
between August 14 and August 16, 2021, putting thousands of lives in 
imminent danger from the Taliban.
    Whereas, as Commander-in-Chief, Joe Biden has armed our enemies by 
leaving numerous weapons, ammunition, and other military equipment 
which could be used against American citizens, allies, and other 
civilians in Afghanistan.
    Whereas Joe Biden has shown the American people that his 
administration failed to properly prepare for the extraction of 
civilian and military assets from the nation of Afghanistan.
    Whereas Joe Biden abandoned tens of thousands of American citizens 
and Afghan allies stuck in Afghanistan at danger of being captured, 
tortured, held hostage for ransom, or killed.
    In each of these actions, Joseph R. Biden showed grave dereliction 
of duty and continues to demonstrate that he is unfit to hold the 
office of President of the United States.
    Wherefore President Biden, by such conduct, has demonstrated that 
he will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution if 
allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly 
incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. President Biden 
thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and 
disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or 
profit under the United States.
