Paul's point is constitutionally unassailable. The Constitution states, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Would reduce federal spending by $67.4 billion in fiscal 2022 alone, and by a total of $7.2 trillion over 10 years.

Would allow for legislation enforcing the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico" policy that requires illegal migrants attempting to gain asylum in the U.S. to wait in Mexico.

The Senate may not constitutionally convict a private citizen, and Trump did not commit any crime.

Spends $1.9 trillion on unconstitutional programs in the name of coronavirus relief.

Extends the Treasury Department's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) from March 31 to June 30, 2021 despite no constitutional authorization.

Would have limited the federal government's unconstitutional authority to reserve water rights when designating a national monument.

Would have banned taxpayer funds in S. 1260 from going to research that destroys or creates human embryos.

Unconstitutionally authorizes $250 billion over five years for federal funding of research and development programs.

Would implement a sweeping federalization of American elections with provisions that would severely damage election integrity, including nationwide Internet, automatic, and same-day voter registration, mail-in voting, and early voting.
