Any member of the House can file articles of impeachment under a privileged resolution against Trump for selling the federal government to the biggest donor of all time and shirking his duty to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. It would be tabled, but it would also be covered.

@JoshuaHolland they do. Resolutions to impeach Bush Jr were pushed at the state level during his term. I think Washington got the closest. It's authorized under the manual of procedure.

@weyoun6 No they really don't.

Read the first sentence of that post:

"If the state of Washington ends up passing a joint legislative resolution next month calling on the US House of Representatives to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Bush..."

States can "call on Congress" to do whatever but only Congress has the power to impeach. You can google Article 2, section 4 for more info.
