Rep. Al Green's impeachment resolution against Trump fails House vote

Democrats went crazy when President Donald Trump ordered a legendary strike on Iran that eradicated their remaining nuclear facilities and set the nation back years in their advancement of enriching uranium for nuclear weapons.

According to The Hill, one of the first Democrats to seek attention and file articles of impeachment against Trump was Rep. Al Green of Texas, and he was just thoroughly embarrassed by the Republican-led House. 

Not surprisingly, Republicans in the House immediately shot Green's asinine idea down, with plenty of Democrats going against one of their own.

Rep. Green's resolution would have charged Trump with "abuse of power," arguing that Trump should have went through Congress before ordering the strikes that crippled Iran's uranium enrichment program.

What's going on?

Green's impeachment resolution was tabled in decisive fashion, with a 344-79 vote. Not only did 129 Democrats vote against it, but the party's top three leaders in the House were not on board with the idea.

Green has tried for months to file articles of impeachment against Trump, citing his various foreign and domestic policies, but none of Green's arguments have been strong enough to warrant even mediocre support from the rest of his party.

The Hill noted:

The congressman on Tuesday reupped that effort, filing and forcing a vote on a resolution accusing Trump of failing to seek authorization from Congress before striking three sites in Iran over the weekend, which Democrats have taken issue with.

Green called Trump's actions in Iran a "de facto declaration of war."

“In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to 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, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, abused the powers of the presidency when he disregarded the doctrine of separation of powers by usurping Congress’s power to declare war and ordered the United States military to bomb another country without the constitutionally mandated congressional authorization or notice to Congress — cognizant of the fact that should another country’s military bomb a facility within the United States of America, it would be a de facto declaration of war against the United States of America," the impeachment resolution read.

Social media reacts

Plenty of social media users weighed in on Green's failed resolution.

"Did anyone really think this would happen?" one X user wrote.

Another X user wrote, "Are you telling me that 128 Democrats are starting to listen to the voters now? I'm surprised."

Only time will tell if Democrats got it out of their system.
