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.
60 seats in the Senate would be nice, too.
Not at all-The time and effort spent on ‘impeachment coup’ is detracting from any (slim) chance they had for regaining the WH.
They are risking everything so a few sick and disaffected losers can hang on to 24/7 face time on TV. They’re losing all the way around!
Sheesh
American History, the Constitution, Civics, and Economics should be required course of study in American schools.
Pelosi and the DNC old guard hope the end result is the end of “The Squad”.
Part of me wonders if secretly Pelosi and Trump get together to plot out the script.
“This is why it is imperative for the GOP to take back control of the House next year and stop this bullsh*t.”
that’s exactly correct, which is why i’m happy to contribute to the joint RNC/Trump victory PACs, because:
1. i’m maxed out on the individual donation i can make to trump
2. i don’t which of the many 465 House races need money and how much
3. as you point out, regaining the House is EQUALLY as important as re-electing President Trump ...
"Are you now, or have you ever been, Donald Trump?
Impeach!!
Actually, I think its more organic than mere alcoholism. I was living in CA when she got her start and she’s always been a screechy, nasty, entitled Democrat rich witch.
I agree. Now which “version” of history they are taught is another matter.
Thank God for homeschooling, charter schools and private schools.
I have met her several times and had never wanted to post or say anything about her, other than she is always nice, even knowing my politics.
However, she has gone too far on this and crossed the Rubicon of my deferential attitude toward her.
When there is a rogue grand jury, they will go outside the scope of their responsibility and investigate in all directions.
knarf is the Abbie Hoffman of mimers.
They’re trying to steal our 2016 votes in broad daylight.
He is a certifiable idiot against the democrat party as he just spilled the beans
We are a nation on the brink of civil war. And I don’t say that lightly. The anger, the hatred, the vileness are reaching a tipping point.
But, then, who can be surprised? Civilization is but a thin scab over a festering and deadly sore.
As I just posted a few minutes ago, we are a nation on the brink of civil war.
She is probably personally nice, as a lot of people are...I think even Trump said he liked her ... but she’s definitely gone overboard and I think she even has fantasies of seeing herself ending up as President.
When she started out, from my point of view, she was like most of the other wealthy women who got into politics in CA almost as a hobby. Consider Diane Feinstein, who actually seemed pretty sane at times, Barbara Boxer, who never seemed sane, etc. They did well on it and helped their husbands’ businesses (many of which seem to be connected to China in one way or another).
But she’s obviously gone round the bend. She’s from the highly corrupt Baltimore Dem royalty, which is sort of like being from Mafia royalty. Entitled. And she’s seriously PO’ed that people appear not to recognize how special she is.
“They are trying to push this into a go-hot situation.”
Yup.
