A constitutional law expert is calling on a potential Democratic-controlled Congress to pursue impeachment of the president and push for sweeping reforms to limit executive authority over pardons, declarations of war, and trade policy. The argument centers on restoring congressional oversight and balancing power under the Constitution, framing it as a necessary check against unchecked presidential influence. Supporters of the president have dismissed such proposals as politically motivated, while critics warn the move could deepen partisan divisions. The debate highlights tensions over the scope of executive power and the role of Congress in holding the president accountable.
Professor Richard Davis argues that a Democratic majority in Congress should seek to impeach President Trump and implement constitutional reforms to curtail executive powers regarding pardons, war-making and tariffs.
