BREAKING (15 MINUTES AGO): Congress has formally moved to file impeachment articles against Donald Trump, accusing him of a serious constitutional violation linked to U.S. actions in Venezuela. Lawmakers argue the strike was not a lawful military operation but an illegal act of aggression carried out without congressional approval—violating Article I of the Constitution and the War Powers Act. They say it directly challenges Congress’s exclusive authority to declare war. The filing also alleges a broader pattern of executive overreach. But what’s fueling intense backlash now is Trump’s defiant and unusually awkward response, which has sparked confusion, outrage, and fierce debate nationwide.

Washington — Congress has formally initiated impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump, citing what lawmakers describe as a grave constitutional violation tied to recent U.S. actions in Venezuela.

According to the impeachment filing, the operation was not a lawful military mission but an unauthorized act of aggression against a sovereign nation.

Lawmakers allege Trump violated Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Act by authorizing the use of force without congressional approval, undermining Congress’s exclusive authority to declare war.

The filing reportedly outlines additional alleged violations, framing the Venezuela decision as part of a broader pattern of executive overreach.

Trump’s immediate response—widely described as defiant and unusually awkward—has intensified backlash and ignited sharp debate across the political spectrum, as the nation braces for what could become a historic constitutional showdown.
