Longtime Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, announced on Monday that he intends to force a vote on impeaching President Donald Trump, citing federal immigration officers' killing of two U.S. citizens earlier this year.
Green, who has publicly protested Trump on multiple occasions, introduced what's called a privileged resolution on the House floor aimed at booting the president out of office. A privileged resolution is a mechanism that allows any lawmaker to force the entire chamber to consider a bill within two legislative days.
That means House GOP leaders will have to hold a vote on the measure by the end of the day on Wednesday.
The vote is all but guaranteed to be a political headache for Democrats who are fighting to take back the House and Senate in the November midterm elections.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., has long demurred on the subject of impeachment, maintaining that Democrats are focused on tackling issues like high living costs that are critical to everyday Americans.
He and 127 other House Democrats voted with Republicans to quash a previous Trump impeachment effort by Green in June 2025.
But the latest effort could be his last public demonstration against Trump after the 79-year-old progressive lost his primary to a younger Democrat calling for generational change.

Very sad to be that old and have that much hate in your heart for no good reason. SMH
What a maroon...
Give it up AL
Shake that stick Al.
I thought Al got re-districted?
He’s so angry and bitter. Terrible situation for an old man to live his final years with so much hatred in his heart instead of spending time with family and grandkids.
You beat me by a minute while I was typing.
It took me extra time to try and be positive.
Who know who I am? I’m AL GREEN! I made my bones when you were going out with interns!
Come to Jesus, Al. He’s the only friend you will ever need.
Iβm sure we have more than a few people here that are gleefully supportive. It truly is a sickness.

Yep, his last chance. And he’s doing somebody’s bidding.
He’s not bright to have thought this up on his own.
he made good music
Oh I’m sure Al is in church every Sunday....no doubt listening to some black preacher spout vile political rhetoric......and occasionally being called on to be a guest speaker to do the exact same thing.
He got his ass kicked in the primary and we are STILL not done with this stupid ass schmuck
What is this...his 6th attempt.
First Term (2017β2019): Green introduced or tried to force impeachment resolutions multiple times, including initial efforts over obstruction and rhetoric regarding Charlottesville in 2017, remarks concerning an FBI investigation, and resolutions in 2019 over controversial policy comments and attacks on minority congresswomen.
(2025β2026): Green continued pressing resolutions, including a high-profile snap vote forced in December 2025 targeting alleged abuse of power and threats against lawmakers/judges, as well as subsequent filings into 2026. [1]
All of Green’s individual attempts to force votes or advance impeachment resolutions have been blocked or tabled by the House. You can follow ongoing legislative actions through the U.S. House of Representatives.
