Newsweek - A petition calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump has grown from just over 100,000 supporters to nearly 200,000.
The petition, created on December 17, 2025, by non-partisan grassroots group Blackout the System, argues that “greed, corruption, and a lack of accountability” have “run rampant” and claims the Constitution has been “repeatedly” violated since Trump’s return to office.
Public calls for impeachment have intensified alongside renewed debate over Trump’s conduct in office, even as Republicans currently control both chambers of Congress and impeachment remains a political process requiring House action and Senate trial.
The petition’s growth does not compel a federal response because the “We the People” White House petition tool, which previously had a 100,000-signature response threshold, was discontinued after former President Joe Biden took office in January 2021.
