Michigan Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar on Monday filed seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, which accuse the president of posing a "clear and present danger" to democracy.

The action marks the first time a Democrat has attempted to impeach the president this year, but others, including Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green, have teased filing such articles in the past. 

Thanedar, who is facing two primary challengers next year, accused Trump in the articles of obstruction of justice, abuse of power, usurpation of power, bribery and corruption.

"Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy," Thanedar said in a statement. "His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service. We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act."

The Democrat also claimed that Trump has ignored the Constitution, Congress, and the U.S. court system, including the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court accusation comes after a Supreme Court ruling ordered the administration to help facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador on accusations he was a member of MS-13.

"When Trump ignores the Constitution, Congress, and the courts, he is not 'fighting for America,'" he posted on X. "He is tearing it down and endangering our democracy."

Although the articles have now been introduced, they are not expected to pass with a Republican-led House and Senate.
