President Donald Trump has called for the expulsion of Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) from Congress, accusing him of repeateldy targeting Trump with impeachment efforts. In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticized Raskin's role in previous impeachment attempts and predicted Raskin would pursue impeachment again if Democrats retake the House, according to the source report. House Republicans have also discussed beginning the expulsion process, citing Raskin's use of impeachment and other constitutional mechanisms.

Trump's Truth Social Post: Pardon Claims, 'TDS' and a Warning of Future Impeachment

In his social media broadside, Trump wrote , citing the source, "If Biden didn't give him a pardon, he'd be in jail right now! Something should be done about people like this." Trump also accused Raskin of suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)" and casting his vote out of "HATE." The president further took aim at Rep. Al Green (D-TX), another Democrat who pushed for impeachment, claiming that Green recently lost his race by a large margin. The post serves as the latest escalation in a long-running feud between Trump and the Maryland Democrat, who served as a House manager in Trump's second impeachment trial.

Levin's Expanded Indictment: From Impeachment to January 6 Committee Records

The source report quotes conservative commentator Mark Levin, who laid out a broader list of grievances. Levin wrote, according to the source,that Raskin "is already leading a plot to impeach the President if the Democrats take the House. he led the prior two impeachments against the President, has pushed for his resignation in the past, also was involved in twisting the 14th Amendment to ban candidate Trump from ballots, objected to electoral college votes for Trump in the first election, and was a member of the Pelosi January 6 Committee that, among other things, destroyed records before the GOP took over the House." This catalogue of accusations frames the push for expulsion as a response to a pattern of constitutional challenges, not merely a single impeachment vote.

The House Republican Expulsion Discussion:A Rare and Contentious Procedural Move

House Republicans have discussed beginning the process of expelling Raskin, according to the source report. Expulsion of a sitting member is one of the most severe punishments Congress can impose, requiring a two-thirds vote under the Constitution. Historically, only five members have been expelled from the House, most for disloyalty during the Civil War or for bribery and corruption in modern times. Using the tool against a lawmaker for repeatedly pursuing impeachment or challenging electoral outcomes would be unprecedented, raising questions about whether such a move would set a new standard for partisan retaliation.

What the Source Doesn't Say: The Missing Legal and Political Thresholds

The source report does not specify what formal grounds House Republicans would cite for expulsion, nor does it include any response from Raskin's office. expulsion typically requires evidence of a crime or a clear violation of House rules, such as ethical misconduct or treason. Merely exercising constitutional duties—like filing articles of impeachment or serving on a committee—has never been considered grounds for removal. Without a concrete offense, the discussion may remain procedural rhetoric, but the fact that it is happening at all signals a new level of partisan warfare over the impeachment power itself.
