Abuse of power and Obstruction of Congress.
Looks like they are going as narrow as possible, and ignoring articles for bribery and Obstruction of Justice, which IMO should have been the 4 minimum articles introduced.

It's particularly amusing seeing people who, just a couple of days ago, were instructing her to hold off on doing any articles at all until next year, now complaining because she's not presenting every possible article of impeachment right now.
