Rep. Al Green (D-TX) said he hopes House Democrats will be able to impeach President Trump on a wide variety of issues because there is no limit to how many times they can impeach a president.
"My hope is that we will expand this and take up additional issues. But I would also say this for your viewers for education purposes, a president can be impeached more than once. So we can do this. We can move forward with what we have on the table currently. We can take this before the Senate and we can still investigate other issues and when the president has committed additional offenses, and my suspicion is that he will, we can take those before the Senate," Green told CSPAN on Thursday.
"There is no limit on the number on the times the Senate can vote to convict or not a president. No limit to the number of times a House can vote to impeach or not a president. So my belief is that the Speaker will probably say we are going to move forward with what we have now, but we are not going to end investigations and that there may be possible opportunities to do other things at a later time."
There has been a debate among House Democrats if they should include other items outside of Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in their articles for impeachment.
Green defended the time and political consumption of impeachment, saying the House of Representatives can pass other bills.
"Now the Senate is not engaged in the impeachment process currently but the Senate is blocking all of this legislation that we’ve sent," he said.
I think these people need to be tested on the Constitution and laws. If they fail, they don’t get sworn in.

so, if the PEOPLE elect Donald J. Trump we can expect 4 more years of constant obstruction and over throwing the will of the people.
poking the bear is unwise.
Al Green is a complete mess inside and out
But in the real world, yes, there are limits. You’ll find them sport.
People like him and Beto are doing the work that countless numbers of Republican attack ads would not be able to accomplish, basically showing these people for who they really are.
and when the president has committed additional offenses...
Now they’re talking about the future so it’s a DEFINITE.
Get the ##$#ing Guns out boys.
They WANT that.
That sucks.
They would rather RIP the country apart than give up their power and money and see it succeed under Trump.
They are truly vile and despicable.
We NEED the house back to avoid physical confrontation.
Might as well just set up a standing committee in the House.
The House Committee on perpetual impeachment hearings.
Its the voters who need to be tested!
Who’s to stop them? No one, really. Lots of ardent 2nd amendment believers will never take up arms against anyone in our government. It will all come down to McConnell, Roberts, and massive voter fraud in 2020.
Trump ate a ham sandwich and forgot to put mustard on it.
IMPEACH!
Do these numb nuts realize how much they’re pissing off us REAL Americans?
The US House is a not toy, Al. I’m afraid we’re gonna have to take it away and put you in time out.
This is why it is imperative for the GOP to take back control of the House next year and stop this bullsh*t.
Until at least some Rats are perp walked, our domestic enemies will continue to double down against America.
The limit is winning the House back.
Only if those same PEOPLE do not throw out the RATS while they're reelecting the President. A Republican House finishes this garbage for good.
These people are out of their $@*# minds and need to be forcibly removed from office.
