Based on a [discussion](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20550566&postcount=2823) here, I am kicking off a pledge drive, to benefit a charity to be named by the Dope.

The rules are as follows:

[ul]  
[li]$25 to be donated when Trump is impeached by the House[/li][li]$50 when Trump is convicted by the Senate[/li][li]$100 if Trump is brought up on criminal charges[/li][/ul]

The first step is to pick the charity. We could go in a few different directions. Women’s rights, Puerto Rico recovery, and health care reform are a few off the top of my head. Suggestions needed.

Any other additions you’d like to add? Should we have any bonuses for Trump associates who get indicted? Receive immunity for testimony?

If you’re in, great. I won’t police you, but I will bump the thread to remind everyone when relevant events are taking place.

Any requests for charity must be approved ahead of time.

A direct request for charity would have a much better chance of being approved.
