WASHINGTON, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Civil rights advocacy groups on Friday asked a federal judge to block the U.S. Justice Department from shuttering a 1960s-era office that was tasked with quelling racial and ethnic tensions in communities across America.

1. Article of Impeachment #____: Failure to faithfully excecute the law

Specifically, violating the Take Care Clause in Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution which requires a president to faithfully execute the law, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Of course, this Article would have a long list of instances.
