House Leaders Shut Down Al Green's Impeachment Resolution
After months of demands from many rank-and-file Democrats to impeach the president, formal articles of impeachment have been filed against President Donald J. Trump. The resolution, field by Rep. Al Green (D-Houston), cites four reasons for impeachment, ranging from incitement of bigotry and racism, to falsely accusing opponents of voter fraud.
But Green’s Democratic colleagues on Capitol Hill have not lined up to support his resolution. What happened to the furor of just a few months ago, with people taking to the streets, demanding that elected members of Congress hold the president accountable?
Mike DeBonis, who covers Congress for the Washington Post says Green’s articles of impeachment came very close to getting a House vote, much to the chagrin of fellow Democrats, who don’t want to engage in an impeachment fight right now. DeBonis says that after bringing the resolution to the House floor, Green “disappeared,” and did not put the resolution forward.
“Basically, he wanted more time for his colleagues to digest the allegations that he was making, and read his articles of impeachment,” DeBonis says. “He said he had been led to believe that they would have at least a day or two to do so before a vote would be held.”
