Democratic Rep. Al Green says he will force House impeachment vote
Washington Post ^ | Dec. 5, 2017 | Mike DeBonis

House lawmakers will take their first vote on whether to impeach President Trump this week if a Texas Democrat follows through on plans he announced to colleagues Tuesday.

Rep. Al Green (D-Tex.) said in a memo to fellow lawmakers that he planned to bring articles of impeachment to the House floor Wednesday as a “privileged resolution,” one that would be entitled to a vote within two days under House rules.

Green has discussed impeaching Trump since the spring and previously filed impeachment articles in October, nearly forcing a vote at that time before House Democratic leaders persuaded him to temporarily abandon the effort. Now Green says the time has come for his colleagues to weigh in.

Green’s DC phone message machine is full, but his Houston office phone @ 713-383-9234 still has room to record. I just called to express my opinion. Y’all feel free to do the same if you are so inclined.

Al Green is doing the Republicans a favor, although I’m sure he doesn’t realize it. If the House Democrats vote for impeachment, they will expose themselves to anyone with a functioning brain cell that they are fanatically determined to destroy President Trump for the unforgiveable crime of defeating their queen, the Wicked Witch. This will turn off the “swing voters” and thus hurt House Democrats in 2018.

Can we replace him with the singer of the same name? The guy who sang “Let’s Stay Together” . . . ?

Defeating the Wicked Witch. For Democrats, that's any unforgiveable sin.

Trump should make it known that he will resign immediately should such a vote occur. No way that the Dims want to have President Pence. Call their bluff.

Wrong. Democrats, and other Liberals, hate nobody more than President Trump. They want Trump out of office even if it meant the death of their families. They are obsessively and fanatically hateful toward President Trump, consequences be damned.

I thought votes had to be okayed by the Speaker, before they could be called for.

Democrats are like piranha. However, President Trump is casually tossing sticks of dynomite off his yacht into the infested waters and watching the dead ones float to the top.
Not the most efficient method, but a lot more fun.
The dead fish are starting to pile up along the shore.

“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

it’s totally awesome that a moonbat like Al Green has become the face of the Democrat party, and even better can put the Dems between a rock and hard place by forcing them to take a stand on an impeachment vote whose grounds are pretty much little more than Hillary didn’t win and Trump did.

Every Dem who isn’t a total fascist will be forced to grit their teeth and vote AGAINST impeachment in order to maintain the fiction that they support Constitutional government and the right of people to elect their representatives.

The Dems want a crippled ineffective Trump they do not wish to replace him. Replacing Trump with Pence would be an utter disaster for them.
