Texas Rep. Al Green introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday, paving the way for the first vote on the measure since Democrats took control of the House.
Green introduced the resolution after the House voted to condemn Trump over his remarks over the weekend about four freshmen House Democrats.
Trump tweeted that the four lawmakers — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib — should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came” over their criticism of the U.S. Three of the four were born in the U.S.
Reading from the articles of impeachment, Green said that Trump “is unfit to be president, unfit to represent the American values of decency and morality, respectability and civility, honesty and propriety, reputability and integrity.”
This is the third time that Green has introduced articles of impeachment against Trump, but the first since Democrats have had control of the House of Representatives. Democrats now have two days to consider Green’s resolution, and can vote either to debate it, send it for a committee vote, or table it.
The GOP-controlled House tabled Green’s first two resolutions, in December 2017 and January 2018, by votes of 364-58 and 355-66, respectively.
