Proposed expungements of the impeachments of Donald Trump

In the 2020s, a proposal has been floated by Republican members of the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate to have one of the chambers vote to adopt a resolution to "expunge" one or both of the two impeachments of U.S. president Donald Trump, a Republican. Both of Trump's impeachments occurred in the first of his two nonconsecutive terms. Trump himself has called for the adoption such the adoption of such resolutions. In June 2023, the effort received support from then-SpeakerKevin McCarthy. No such resolutions, however, have yet been adopted. In 2026, Trump and his allies renewed efforts to have his impeachments declared expunged. House Speaker Mike Johnson dubbed it "a priority".

There is no precedent of the House voting to expunge a federal impeachment. Legal, political experts, and historians expressed skepticism as to the impact and significance that such a vote would have. Many have argued that such a vote could only be symbolic and would have little or no legal effect, while some differing opinions have argued that there is nothing to preclude Congress from revoking a previous impeachment action. Many commentators have characterized the proposal as an attempt by Republicans to delegitimize Trump's impeachments in the public's recollection.
