Liberal Democratic Rep. Al Green on Wednesday followed through on threats to compel an impeachment vote against President Trump, filing four articles of impeachment in the House while delivering an anti-Trump tirade on the floor.
The Texas congressman's maneuver is expected to force a vote either Thursday or Friday, putting fellow Democrats in an awkward spot.
“Today, I rise to use the constitutionally prescribed political process of impeachment to speak truth to the most powerful man on earth, the president of the United States of America,” Green said in a speech on the House floor.
Accusing Trump of betraying “his trust as president” by embracing racism, Green referenced Adolf Hitler and made the point that Trump can still be removed from office even if he didn’t commit a crime.
“The public has been led to believe that a president must commit a crime to be impeached, which is not true,” Green said. “If any president persisted with the lie that ‘Hitler was right,’ he would be, and should be, impeached not for a crime, but for betraying his trust as president.”
Green’s resolution covers four articles of impeachment.
One accuses the president of “inciting white supremacy, sexism, bigotry, hatred, xenophobia, race-baiting, and racism by demeaning, defaming, disrespecting and disparaging women and certain minorities.” Another alleges Trump brought “shame and dishonor to the office of the presidency by associating the majesty and dignity of the presidency with causes rooted in white supremacy, bigotry, racism, anti-Semitism, white nationalism and neo-Nazism.”
Another still condemns Trump for saying “three to five million people voted illegally in the 2016 presidential election.”
The fourth article accuses the president of “encouraging law enforcement officials to violate the Constitutional rights of the suspects in their case.”
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called the effort "pathetic" in a tweet Wednesday.
Green initially said he planned to file the resolution last week, but he postponed it after the mass shooting in Las Vegas.
“Impeachment is postponed,” Green said last week. “Let us mourn. Let us heal.”
Green’s resolution is considered “privileged” by the House, meaning it has to be considered by the end of the week.
Green's push is not supported by many senior Democrats, even as they rail against the president.
New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, told The Hill in response to Green’s threat: “We’re not there yet,” despite Trump having done “really terrible things.”
It’s likely that lawmakers in the GOP-controlled House will vote to set aside his resolution. This could still put some Democrats in a bad spot, as they will likely face pressure from outside liberal groups to vote against tabling the articles.
The House Judiciary Committee did not consider Green’s articles for floor debate, as it did when then-President Bill Clinton was impeached in in 1998.Film at 11...  |

He is trying to impeach a moron... that's true.
But I think he neglected to show up when it came to consideration, so it isn't going to be voted on any time soon.
that wasn't bright of him..... |
