Donald Trump is set to face an impeachment charge following the US Capitol riot which killed five people.
He faces the one charge of “incitement of insurrection” — over the deadly riot last week, according to a draft of the articles.
Politicians are set to introduce the legislation on Monday, with voting in midweek.
It was formally introduced by Democrats during the brief pro forma session that took place in the House of Representatives this morning.
The document accuses Trump of "incitement of insurrection," and claims that Trump actively encouraged violence at the US Capitol.
The article points to several false claims Trump made, including that the election was "stolen" from him and that he is the rightful winner of the 2020 vote.
Ms Pelosi’s leadership team also will seek a quick vote on a resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence and Cabinet officials to invoke the 25th Amendment.
The four-page impeachment bill draws from Mr Trump’s own false statements about his election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden; his pressure on state officials in Georgia to “find” him more votes; and his White House rally ahead of the Capitol siege, in which he encouraged thousands of supporters to “fight like hell” before they stormed the building on Wednesday.
A violent and largely white mob of Trump supporters overpowered police, broke through security lines and windows and rampaged through the Capitol, forcing politicians to scatter as they were finalising Mr Biden’s victory over Mr Trump in the Electoral College.
“President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government,” the legislation said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the House will proceed with legislation to impeach Mr Trump as she pushes the vice president and the Cabinet to invoke constitutional authority to force him out, warning that Mr Trump is a threat to democracy after the deadly assault on the Capitol.
Donald Trump was removed from social media platform Twitter over the weekend following the events last week.
His account was permanently suspended "due to the risk of further incitement of violence".
A Republican senator, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, joined Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska over the weekend in calling for Mr Trump to “resign and go away as soon as possible”.
Politicians warned of the damage the president could still do before Joe Biden is inaugurated on January 20.
Mr Trump, holed up at the White House, was increasingly isolated after a mob rioted in the Capitol in support of his false claims of election fraud.
Mr Pence has given no indication he would act on the 25th Amendment.
If he does not, the House would move towards impeachment.
