www.newsweek.com
The Texas Democrat introduced the articles, accusing the president of starting an "illegal and unconstitutional war."

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.

      Well shit, I was so quick on the draw with this one that they wrote the actual article after I posted it, fuck!

      Anyway yeah, great to see CTE brainmushed minds think alike.

      Fetterman unironically needs to be impeached or recalled or indefinitely deployed to a retirement home as well, the dude very, very clearly has significant cognitive impairment going on.

      I think if you throw that term around that actually diminishes the severity of what impeachment is really reserved for.

      He’s selling the Republican playbook

      Quote for reference:

      Senator John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, told Fox News’ America’s Newsroom: “He’s been impeached twice, and now he’s still our president as well now too. It’s not going anywhere, and I don’t think that’s helpful. I think if you throw that term around that actually diminishes the severity of what impeachment is really reserved for.”

      You know what else diminishes the severity of impeachment? Not impeaching impeachable conduct.
