Democratic Rep. Al Green says he will force House impeachment vote
Washington Post ^ | Dec. 5, 2017 | Mike DeBonis

House lawmakers will take their first vote on whether to impeach President Trump this week if a Texas Democrat follows through on plans he announced to colleagues Tuesday.

Rep. Al Green (D-Tex.) said in a memo to fellow lawmakers that he planned to bring articles of impeachment to the House floor Wednesday as a “privileged resolution,” one that would be entitled to a vote within two days under House rules.

Green has discussed impeaching Trump since the spring and previously filed impeachment articles in October, nearly forcing a vote at that time before House Democratic leaders persuaded him to temporarily abandon the effort. Now Green says the time has come for his colleagues to weigh in.

“Al Green is doing the Republicans a favor, although I’m sure he doesn’t realize it. If the House Democrats vote for impeachment, they will expose themselves to anyone with a functioning brain cell that they are fanatically determined to destroy President Trump for the unforgiveable crime of defeating their queen, the Wicked Witch. This will turn off the “swing voters” and thus hurt House Democrats in 2018.”

absolutely. it’s why the Dem leadership has been begging him for months not to do this. The ones that DO vote for impeachment are doing nothing more than declaring their support of a fascist repudiation of the right of the people to elect their own representatives.

Do these morons not understand that everyone in the Presidential line of succession is a Republican? Impeachment and removal will never get a Democrat becoming President or Acting President.

Hey Al - you might want to investigate how many Representatives are Republican and how many are Democrat. You wonder whether it matters, right? Well, it does, believe it or not. Anyway, it will be sooooo nice to see you and the Dimocrats get embarrassed...again.

The Dems are counting on Republicans Corker and Flake...among others...like McCain. Impeachment will fail either way!

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) had sex with a staffer and then sued her when she threatened to go public with their relationship, claiming that she was a drug addict. - http://www.dailywire.com/news/24013/democrat-congressman-sued-staffer-he-had-sex-ryan-saavedra#

This guy reeks of “I want to be iconic, I want to be revered and remembered for something or other, I just want my name in the history books, dammit.”

Such bogus grandiosity.

the Senate is irrelevant ... the House will vote it down, including most Dems

Looks very cavemanish.

Green is the new black. That's a face carved by envy, perfect for what the modern Democrat party is selling.

Throw hot grits on him.

That would be such a waste of hot grits. I’d go with a full chamber pot.
