This Concurrent Resolution formally censures President Donald J. Trump for his actions surrounding the 2020 Presidential election, specifically citing his attempts to overturn the results through unlawful means, such as pressuring Georgia's Secretary of State to "find" votes, and for inciting insurrection. The resolution details how President Trump made unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud, encouraged his followers to challenge the election, and in a speech on January 6, 2021, prior to the joint session of Congress to count Electoral College votes, urged the crowd to "fight like hell" and march to the Capitol. This incitement led to the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, resulting in deaths and injuries. The resolution also states that President Trump's actions violated his constitutional duties and, under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, finds him ineligible for future office unless Congress votes to remove this disability. Additionally, it calls on President Trump to acknowledge Joe Biden's victory, urge his supporters to avoid violence, disavow the actions of the insurrectionists, and denounce any further violent acts, particularly around the Presidential Inauguration.
