Petition to Impeach Donald Trump Approaches Major Milestone

A petition calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump has garnered more than 90,000 signatures.

At the time of writing, the petition, organized by the non-partisan group Blackout The System, has been signed by 90,985 people—leaving it less than 10,000 signatures shy of 100,000.

The petition accuses Trump of “greed, corruption, and a lack of accountability in leadership,” “exploitation of the American people,” and claims Trump has “repeatedly violated” the U.S. Constitution and mismanaged the economy.

“This petition calls on all Americans to come together, to make our voices heard, and to demand the impeachment of Donald Trump,” it says.

Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos, founder of American Opposition, which partnered with Blackout the System, told Newsweek: “Impeachment, conviction, and removal is the healthiest pathway to ending this nightmare, as it removes the fascist regime while reasserting the power of our Constitution. Our system was built to deal with threats like Donald Trump. Our current failure is human. We need our representatives to wake up and use the tools the Founders gave them to save our republic before it’s too late.”

Newsweek reached out to the White House via email for comment outside of normal business hours.
