From the congressional record:
Mr. GREEN of Texas: Madam Speaker, pursuant to clause 2(a)(1) of rule IX, I rise to give notice of my intention to raise a question of the privileges of the House.
From the congressional record: Mr. GREEN of Texas: Madam Speaker, pursuant to clause 2(a)(1) of rule IX, I rise to give notice of my intention to raise a question of the privileges of the House.
The form of the resolution is as follows:
Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, of high misdemeanors.
Resolved, that Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is unfit to be President, unfit to represent the American values of decency and morality, respectability and civility, honesty and propriety, reputability and integrity, is unfit to defend the ideals that have made America great, unfit to defend liberty and justice for all as extolled in the Pledge of Allegiance, is unfit to defend the American ideal of all persons being created equal as exalted in the Declaration of Independence, is unfit to ensure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare and to ensure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity as lauded in the preamble to the United States Constitution, is unfit to protect the government of the people, by the people, for the people as elucidated in the Gettysburg Address, and is impeached for high misdemeanors that the following Article of Impeachment be exhibited to the Senate:
Article of Impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States, in the name of itself, of the people of the United States, against Donald John Trump, President of the United States, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high misdemeanors committed as President constituting harm to American society to the manifest injury of the people of the United States:
Article I.
The House of Representatives on July 16, 2019, strongly condemned President Donald Trump's racist comments that have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color by saying that our fellow Americans who are immigrants, and those who may look to the President like immigrants, should ``go back'' to other countries, by referring to immigrants and asylum seekers as ``invaders,'' and by saying that Members of Congress who are immigrants, or those of our colleagues who are wrongly assumed to be immigrants, do not belong in Congress or in the United States of America.
In all of this, the aforementioned Donald John Trump has, by his statements, brought the high office of the President of the United States in contempt, ridicule, disgrace, and disrepute, has sown seeds of discord among the people of the United States, has demonstrated that he is unfit to be President, and has betrayed his trust as President of the United States to the manifest injury of the people of the United States, and has committed a high misdemeanor in office.
Therefore, Donald John Trump by causing such harm to the society of the United States is unfit to be President and warrants impeachment, trial, and removal from office.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under rule IX, a resolution offered from the floor by a Member other than the majority leader or the minority leader as a question of the privileges of the House has immediate precedence only at a time designated by the Chair within 2 legislative days after the resolution is properly noticed.
Pending that designation, the form of the resolution noticed by the gentleman from Texas will appear in the Record at this point.
The Chair will not at this point determine whether the resolution constitutes a question of privilege. That determination will be made at the time designated for consideration of the resolution.
I don’t speak jive.
“OMG Texas you can do better...”
What, is this starfish from Austin? Houston? Dallas?
that is nasty.
Sure there is. Here in CO that's jaywalking while stoned.
It's almost as dangerous as jaywalking while texting but that's called a digital misdemeanor.
I live in that mofo’s district. Queen Sheila’s domain is across the street.
Is he an aborigine?
“Not easy so a caveman can’t do it”
I was just thinking that Al Green is proof that Neanderthals did not die off.
Isn’t he the one that calls for Trump’s impeachment on a daily basis?
Resolved, that Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is...
- highly fit to be President
- the most fit of president's in my memory to represent the American values of decency and morality, respectability and civility, honesty and propriety, reputability and integrity
- is the most fit of all recent presidents to defend the ideals that have made America great
- is highly fit to defend liberty and justice for all as extolled in the Pledge of Allegiance
- is extremely fit to defend the American ideal of all persons being created equal as exalted in the Declaration of Independence
- is one of the most fit presidents ever to ensure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare and to ensure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity as lauded in the preamble to the United States Constitution
- is most fit of all to protect the government of the people, by the people, for the people as elucidated in the Gettysburg Address
So all it takes is one member to call for a vote on a resolution? Dang, I thought pretty much everything had to be referred to committee, with about the only way around that was getting a majority of the House to sign off on a discharge petition (isn’t it called that?).
Any experts on House rules out there? I wish Congressman Billybob were still around...
The House needs to vote by unanimous consent that Al Green is the Fugliest Man Alive.
Sorry, his fugliness is so epic, so extreme, it’s a genuine distraction! He needs massive electrolysis and a face transplant.
THIRD impeachment resolution.
AL Green is a partisan hack.
Like Sheila Jackson Lee?
Impeachment! So easy a Caveman can do it.....unless your just look like one and are not as smart as one!
Post a pic!
I was wondering what rules allowed him to get this addressed in 48 hours.
What limitations are there?
How often can Al Green call for impeachment? Cannot find out.

Procedure
At the federal level, the impeachment process is a three-step procedure.
First, the Congress investigates. This investigation typically begins in the House Judiciary Committee, but may begin elsewhere. For example, the Nixon impeachment inquiry began in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The facts that led to impeachment of Bill Clinton were first discovered in the course of an investigation by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr.
Second, the House of Representatives must pass, by a simple majority of those present and voting, articles of impeachment, which constitute the formal allegation or allegations. Upon passage, the defendant has been “impeached”.
“high misdemeanors”
Where is that in the Constitution?
So easy a caveman can do it. Not.

Didn’t this guy play an ogre in the Hobbitt movies?
He’s been blithering about impeachment almost as long as Mad Maxine. She started before he was inaugurated, I think the ogre waited till Trump was actually in office...
High misdemeanors...all I can do is shake my head...this guy really is that dumb???
He’s from Houston, if that tells you anything, they elected a lesbian mayor a few years ago.
