Impeachment is the most powerful tool Congress has to stop a President who they believe is abusing their power. This bill matters because it raises serious questions about whether a President can start military conflicts, seize foreign resources, or use the National Guard against domestic protesters without following specific laws or getting approval from other branches of government.

If this bill becomes law (meaning the House impeaches and the Senate convicts), it would result in the first-ever removal of a President from office through this process. If it fails, it serves as a formal protest and a historical record of specific complaints against the administration's use of executive power, particularly regarding civil rights and war powers.
