Democratic lawmaker introduces articles of impeachment against Trump
CNN ^ | July 16, 2019 | Jeremy Herb and Ashley Killough

Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas on Tuesday introduced his articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, which will force the House to take up the measure later this week.

Green's resolution is unlikely to lead to an actual vote on impeachment in the House, but he can force the chamber to act on it under House rules within two legislative days, creating a dilemma for House Democratic leaders and the moderate Democrats who have largely tried to avoid the issue of impeachment.

While Green said Tuesday that he wants an up-or-down vote on articles of impeachment, the House has several options to dispose of his effort, though they each have drawbacks. The House could vote to table, or kill, the resolution, but that would in effect put lawmakers on the record about impeachment.

Outstanding. Bring it Pelosi, etall.

Best thing that could have happened to assure the President of another 4 years.

Wasting the time and money of the do nothing Congress is going to play so well in the add buys.

“The ugliest and dumbest democRat in Congress!”

That is quite an achievement.

But can he sing? The real Al Green could sing. All the songs sounded alike but I liked them. My girlfriends at the time liked them too.

this is awesome because it’s gonna completely fracture the Dem Party whether they vote to impeach or not, but WILL guarantee that they lose the House in 2020 if they actually do vote to impeach ...

Would help if Rep Green or CNN listed the Articles:
1) Mean tweet
2) Said p-word
3) Mean tweet
4) Orange Man Bad

Re Articles of Impeachment. High crimes or misdemeanors?

Too many choices for the dims but I think they'd all go for #4.

Orange Man Bad.

With a house majority they can impeach our President but they won't get there. No way the Senate convicts - again, for what?

They'd like to but we'd take out their house majority in 2020 with stunning numbers.
