More than 100 Dems join GOP to block own party's Trump impeachment effort
Fox News ^ | 6-24-25 | Elizabeth Elkind

The House of Representatives voted along bipartisan lines to quash a lone progressive lawmaker's bid to impeach President Donald Trump Tuesday afternoon. Lawmakers agreed to table the measure in a 344–79 vote. A vote to table is a procedural mechanism allowing House members to vote against consideration of a bill without having to vote on the bill itself. The resolution was offered by Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who was infamously ejected from Trump's address to a joint session of Congress earlier this year for repeatedly interrupting the president. A majority of House Democrats joined Republican lawmakers to kill Green's resolution, a sign of how politically caustic the effort appears to be. Just 79 Democrats voted to proceed with the impeachment vote, while 128 voted to halt it in its tracks. Liberals who joined Republicans include all three members of House Democratic leadership – House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, R-N.Y., House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., voted to table the measure. Green, who has threatened to impeach Trump before, said his latest bid is aimed at the president's strikes on Iran from over the weekend.

I’m sure Representative Al Green is fit to be tied!
Given the kabash, and by his own Party!
This was to be Al’s shining moment.

I’m guessing Ted Lieu (D Torrance CA). Was one of the 79 who supported impeachment.

It seems the House got this filed and voted on with lightening speed., So why can’t they be a quick with the things that matter, like reigning in the district judges?

this is truly amazing! ... The Democrats finally found the line of stupidity that they refuse to cross: it’s called “The Al Green Line of Stupidity” ...

As expected, The Squad members and Tootin’ Swalwell voted with the failed impeachment effort.

“Do you know who I am? I’m Al Green! I made my bones when you were going out with cheerleaders!”

And still he rises.

They wanted something sure to fail to hang round the dems
They are not interested in real wins.

The Rats have no political will to impeach a popular president in his second term.
