Republican-controlled House passes resolution to overturn President Trump’s tariffs on Canada
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a resolution repealing President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada.
Calls for President Donald Trump’s impeachment are growing as the president’s approval rating falls to an all-time low and uncertainty grows over the fate of the Republican Congress in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. Here are the poll results for today, February 12th.
In addition to the growing calls for Trump’s impeachment, a more organized protest rally will be held next Tuesday, February 17th, called “National Lobbying Day: Impeach Trump and Repeal the Ice.” Rallies are scheduled to take place in front of Congressional offices across the country on the same day to influence local legislatures and demand that Congress impeach Trump, convict him of violating the U.S. Constitution, and remove him from office.
Trump was impeached twice during his first term and was acquitted by the Senate both times.
A third impeachment would likely face significant political hurdles as Republicans currently hold majorities in the House and Senate, but that could change in the 2026 midterm elections.
A Democratic victory in the House of Representatives would give them control of one of the legislative branches of government, making it difficult for President Trump to pass anything that would likely roll back Republican social spending cuts, require more agreements on raising the debt ceiling, or push for impeachment.
Trump warned Republicans during the House Republican adjournment last month that impeachment was likely if the party lost control of the party.
Here’s what you need to know about Trump’s new impeachment, what today’s presidential approval rating shows, and the current interim predictions and odds.
Will Trump be impeached? President Trump’s impeachment probability in 2026
Although Mr. Trump is not currently being impeached, there are discussions and proposals for a House resolution to introduce a third impeachment effort similar to the recent H.Res. No. 939, December 10, 2025. It was tabled by a vote of 237-140.
Impeachment requires a majority of the House of Representatives to approve charges of treason, bribery, and other gross abuses or misconduct against a government official, followed by a two-thirds majority of the Senate to convict and remove the official.
A third impeachment would likely face significant political hurdles, as Republicans currently hold majorities in the House and Senate.
