Proposed expungements of the impeachments of Donald Trump

A proposal has been floated by some Republican members of the United States House of Representatives of having the Republican-led House vote to "expunge" the two impeachments of former U.S. president Donald Trump, a Republican.

Legal, political experts, and historians have 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 the 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.

In June 2023, the effort received support from then-speaker of the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy.
