Congressman Darrell Issa has introduced House Resolution 1211, a measure that would formally expunge BOTH of President Trump's impeachments, treating the Articles as if they never passed the House at all.

And this time, the case is stronger than ever.

"The fact is that the Constitution doesn't spell out what to do when you've wrongfully indicted somebody. An impeachment is basically an indictment and it's an indictment that you can't really be acquitted from. If you are impeached by the House, famously where do you go to get your reputation back, is the question," Issa said.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently declassified documents she says reveal a coordinated effort inside the intelligence community to manufacture the conspiracy used to impeach President Trump in 2019. The anonymous whistleblower had no firsthand knowledge. Other biased officials helped shape the complaint. House investigators denied President Trump the chance to confront his accusers.

The 2021 impeachment was just as flawed, rammed through in only two days with no fact witnesses and no real investigation.

Here is how the process works. The Constitution gives the House the sole power of impeachment, which means the House controls its own records. No Senate vote. No presidential signature. The resolution goes to the Judiciary Committee, where Chairman Jim Jordan has already signed on. From there it heads to the floor, where it passes with a simple majority.

Issa already has more than 20 Republican cosponsors backing the measure.

Alexander Hamilton warned in Federalist 65 that impeachment would be abused as a partisan weapon. He was right.
