Democratic Representative Shri Thanedar on Tuesday moved to force a House vote on his articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
Thanedar took to the House floor on Tuesday afternoon to notice his seven articles of impeachment as privileged.
That means House Republican leaders have two legislative days to bring up the resolution. They are most likely to introduce a motion to table the resolution, which would effectively kill it.
However, few Democrats have voiced support for impeaching Trump since he returned to office in January since measures are unlikely to go anywhere with Republicans in control of both the House and Senate. Trump was impeached twice during his first term in office, but was acquitted by the Senate in both cases.
"Bribery, corruption, taking power from Congress, creating an unlawful office in DOGE, violating First Amendment rights, ignoring due process and finally, refusing to abide by a unanimous Supreme Court ruling," he said.
"Just as I stand here in the House of Representatives Mr. Trump is traveling to the Middle East to accept a gift worth $400 million from a foreign government."
He added: "I'm not concerned about whether this is the right time or if there are enough votes from my colleagues across the aisle. I rise today to do my duty and uphold my oath to protect the Constitution."
Thanedar's move angered House Democrats, with several telling Axios they believe his effort is aimed at securing support for himself as he faces primary challenges in his Detroit-area Congressional district.
