Rep. Al Green Will Force A Vote On Trump Impeachment Next Week

Rep. Al Green’s time in Congress is coming to an end, but he is still fighting. Green was gerrymandered out of his Texas House district by Republicans and lost a Democrat versus Democrat primary, so his time in the House will end at the close of the current Congress.

Rep. Green is still fighting and still pushing for the third impeachment of Donald Trump.

Green has been kicked out of Trump’s State Of The Union addresses for confronting the president on his lies.

The article that Green filed over the summer states:

Our country and the lives of people within it are at risk as President Donald John Trump is a great threat to the United States democratic republic, its Constitution, and democracy, violating Article II, Section 1, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution and its mandate to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, as he is abusing the powers of the presidency by operating United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as his vicious, quota-driven, unaccountable paramilitary police forces, transgressing with anonymity and secrecy, assaulting people, committing and covering up unjustified killings of civilians (including Renée Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero) with impunity (acting as judge, jury, prosecutor, and executioner), terrorizing communities, and brazenly and wantonly devolving the United States democratic republic into an authoritarian regime, where unjustified killings and coverups by ICE and CBP are normalized.

A defiant Green spoke on the House floor and promised to try to impeach Trump again, and this time he is trying to impeach Trump additionally for the Iran war.

Green said:

I am still an effective legislator, still here. I’m going to make my votes as I have. I assure you that I plan to work until the very last day, Mr. President, and I assure you that until that last day, you should be concerned about your behavior, because there is at least one member, and I know there are others of Congress who are going to do all that we can to bring justice to you.

So I rise to let you know, Mr. President, that impeaching Mr. Hegseth, while it is something that I supported, I also know this.

Mr. President, Mr. Hegseth is the secretary of his Department of War. But you, Mr. President, are the commander in chief. You, Mr. President, are the person who gives the orders. Mr. Hegseth is a person who follows the orders that you command. You are the commander in chief.
