Representative Al Green, a Texas Democrat, officially introduced new Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
“In starting his illegal and unconstitutional war with Iran without the constitutionally mandated consent of Congress or appropriate notice to Congress, President Trump acted in direct violation of the War Powers Clause of the Constitution,” Green’s articles state.
“President Trump has devolved and continues to devolve American democracy into authoritarianism by disregarding the separation of powers and now usurping congressional war powers.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
Round 3.
World is not for US News.
Trump attacks Iran - World News
Democrats theeaten Trump with impeachment when Republicans control both the House anf the Senate? - Internal US news.
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
Impeachment is meaningless whether you like it or not. Resist and get this guy the fuck out
How many similar articles to this has there been since he took office? Nothings going to happen. He’s above the law.
Put him in a bigger peach this time so he can’t get out
I think this is dumb— not because he shouldn’t do it— or that it shouldn’t be illegal— but all the presidents since Bush Jr have used the same vague authorizations for fighting terrorism to justify strikes all over the Middle East and Africa— so there is precedent even if stupid precedent. Instead congress should just rescind those articles and take back their war declaration power. Except that they would also have to revoke the 1950s document that lets the president basically carry on a war for 60 days… it’s stupid, but I don’t see impeachment for this offense possible and just weakens the threat for the future. But maybe it’s already toast.

Did you make this? This is a really nice reference and is pretty much what I was thinking, well done.
this will get him for sure this time…
if not…
maybe the next one…
or like…
maybe if he’s arrested/a felon…
what’s that you’re saying…

How many times is this now?
Surely this will get him.
He’s already been impeached and it didn’t accomplish shit. He needs to be deposed.
He has already been impeached twice.
They know this won’t pass the Senate if it even passes the house. It’s just keeping up appearances I guess. Kind of like how they held up signs like Wild E. Coyote does when his plans go to shit.
It’s nice they want to impeach him but just like his previous impeachments, there were no repercussions. There NEED to be repercussions. Remove him from office!
It’s already been shot down though.
A majority of Democrats even voted to not even discuss the articles. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I think you are talking about when they tried to bring up impeachment last month.
Unless… you have a source from within like the last 3 or 4 hours of a bunch of them saying that for this current attempt.
Yeah, it’s been posted. The vote took less than 2 hours. 128 dems voted to table it without discussion.
From the updated article
A vote to table the impeachment articles passed by a 344-79 margin, with 128 Democrats joining Republicans for the vote. House Democratic leadership has thus far been wary of impeachment efforts from some members, and Green’s latest push did not receive support from leadership.
