The allegations include:
- 3 charges for illegally waging war against Iran in violation of the War Powers Resolution
- 1 charge for ignoring laws designed to minimize civilian casualties
- 1 charge for overseeing "extrajudicial killings" in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean with strikes on alleged drug boats
- 1 charge for suppressing free speech, brought in connection to the effort to punish Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., for a video telling service members they can refuse illegal orders
- 1 charge for the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro without congressional authorization
- 1 charge for illegally waging war against Yemen in violation of the War Powers Resolution

The third and fourth charges are what lawyers sometimes refer to as an open and shut case. The others are arguably valid, but probably should be directed at President Trump.
