Huge numbers are resisting Donald Trump’s presidency, with almost 1 million signing a petition to have the 45th POTUS impeached.
It’s been just under a month since Trump took the Presidential Oath, in that time he has already delivered on several campaign pledges by signed several executive orders – including the controversial travel ban.
The order, which restricts the movements of refugees and restricts the travel of people from seven Muslim-majority nations, has provoked multiple protests.
As well as marches and demonstrations, anti-Trump activists – in their thousands – have signed a petition to impeach the president.

The campaign, simply called Impeach Trump Now, was created by Harvard Law professors Tamara Piety and Lawrence Lessig (who was also a 2016 Democratic presidential candidate) after Trump failed to cut ties with his businesses following his inauguration.
‘As of January 20, 2017, President Trump’s refusal to divest from his business interests has placed him in direct violation of the US Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause and on a collision course with the Constitution’s Domestic Emoluments Clause and with the federal STOCK Act,’ a statement on the petition site reads.
