Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Sunday called for Congress to, once again, impeach President Donald Trump. This time, she wants to take things a step further, assuming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) moves forward with scheduling impeachment hearings.
"I absolutely believe that impeachment should be scheduled for several reasons. One, of course, our main priority is to ensure the removal of Donald Trump as President of the United States," she explained to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "Every minute and every hour that he is in office represents a clear and present danger, not just to the United States Congress, but frankly, to the country."
Impeachment isn't the only thing on Ocasio-Cortez's wish list.
"In addition to removal, we're also talking about complete barring of the president – or rather of Donald Trump – from running for office ever again," she said. "And, in addition to that, the potential ability to prevent pardoning himself from those charges he was impeached for."
Should Pelosi move forward with Articles of Impeachment. Democrats are going to run into a problem: the clock. The House can pass the Articles but there could be a hangup in the Senate. The Senate isn't scheduled to conduct any official business until Jan. 19. There will be two pro-forma sessions – short sessions where very little business actually takes place – on Jan. 12 and 15. The only way Articles of Impeachment could be entertained on those days is if all 100 senators are in agreement. Unanimous consent is very, very unlikely.

If anything happens to Trump, her horse teeth will be a prized trophy.
Yet AOC has no issue with Kamel face in power.
“Back in June 2020 Kamala Harris expressed support for Antifa terrorism saying “They’re not gonna let up, and they should not.”

Stalinist purging wasn’t done correctly the first time, but AOC thinks she can do it right next time.
She wants him impeached, shot, hanged, buried, dug up again and put in the electric chair, all pictures of him destroyed and his family and business ruined.
After all, she’s a compassionate liberal.
spoiled brat....
You are insulting sophomores at both the college and high school level.
“After all, she’s a compassionate liberal.”
Don’t forget, she also wants to HEAL the nation.
McConnell has already said that any impeachment hearing in the Senate couldn’t begin until an hour after Biden is inaugerated.
And Dershowitz was on Maria Bartiromo’s show this morning saying that Congress has no authority to try a normal citizen. No authority to impeach a former president.
Thus the whole impeachment is just their wishful sadistic thinking.
AOC is pure ignorant trash. Not fit even for a landfill.
Sadly she hasnt been there long enough to go down with the rest in the coming days
Don’t take this lightly. AOC speaks for an incredible number of stupid Americans.
Let the record stand that she is spouting conspiracy theories.
Any Democrat who says that Trump may not step down is spouting conspiracy theories.
To stage a coup because you fear that he “may do something” IS a conspiracy.
But the crimes of Biden, Hillary, Obama, Omar, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, et al are okay to ignore?
There are roughly 8,000 troops on the ground in the city.
Pelosi is panicking because Special Forces have her laptop and it has incriminating information on it. That's why she called Gen. Milley.
Joe Biden isn't going to be inaugurated folks. If he does, I will immediately close my FR account and all social media and streaming services.
I am hopeful Nancy will drown in her bourbon. She’s such a miserable person.
The House impeaches. If they start Monday he is not a normal citizen.
I heard on OAN that prominent republicans were pushing back on impeachment. I’d say it’s a done deal.
Because Biden and Harris have both supported violence and censorship.
Intelligent Republicans should make the Trump defense an all out attack on the democrats.
Either Trump must be acquitted or they must go as well.
