Air Force major who demanded impeachment of Donald Trump arrested
Jason Watson, a major in the Air Force, tried to attract attention by demanding an impeachment against the president and that cost him his arrest
Jason Watson, a major in the US Air Force, was arrested for demanding the impeachment of President Donald Trump and Vice President James David Vance.
Prostrate on the steps of the Capitol, accompanied by Democrat Al Green, the military man asked to sanction the two most authoritative figures in the White House under the argument of having unnecessarily interfered in the affairs of three countries.
“When the president of the United States orders military action against other countries—except in emergency cases where U.S. interests are under imminent and serious threats, as was the case with Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran—that constitutes an unconstitutional usurpation of Congressional authority and a violation of the War Powers Clause.
These violations led to the death of 13 soldiers and the injury of hundreds more. For this reason, the president and vice president must be impeached, convicted and removed,” he said.
Later, Watson's list of grievances were added: the unjustified dismissals of government personnel and the cancellation of multiple support programs ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the mass deportation crusade of immigrants lacking legal status led by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and even the deaths of US citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Good at the hands of immigration authorities.
"When the president of the United States incites violence against the American people exercising their constitutional right to peacefully assemble and protest, our First Amendment rights are violated. Pastors praying for DHS agents were violently attacked without provocation," he said.
At a certain point during the intervention, Al Green left the place and, when the Democratic representative was not present, the Capitol Police asked the soldier to come down from the stairs of the building, which he refused to do.
For that reason, the member of the Air Force ended up being arrested with the possibility of being subject to disciplinary sanction under the Uniform Code of Military Justice or, in the most extreme case, being subjected to a court-martial.
