128 House Democrats Join GOP in Rejecting Al Green’s Impeachment Measure
During Trump’s first term, Green filed articles of impeachment against him three times. And two weeks into Trump’s new administration, he filed new impeachment articles over what he called “ethnic cleansing in Gaza.”
By a whopping 344–79 margin, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly rejected Rep. Al Green’s (D-TX) impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump on Tuesday afternoon.
Lawmakers voted to “table” the measure. According to Fox News, a vote to table “is a procedural mechanism allowing House members to vote against consideration of a bill without having to vote on the bill itself.”
Notably, all three members of House Democratic leadership sided with Republicans: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA), and House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA).
Green’s latest attempt to impeach the president follows Trump’s decision to strike three Iranian nuclear sites last weekend.
Politico reported that Green “used a fast-track process to force a quick vote.”
House kills effort to impeach Trump, 344-79.

In a Tuesday morning statement, Green, who appears to be consumed by his hatred for Trump, told colleagues:
I did not come to Congress to be a bystander while a president abuses power and devolves American democracy into authoritarianism with himself as an authoritarian president.
President Trump’s unauthorized bombing of Iran constitutes a de facto declaration of war. No president has the right to drag this nation into war without the authorization of the people’s representatives.

Green, you may recall, was escorted out of the chamber for his despicable behavior during Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress in March. Accompanied by a loud chorus of boos and jeers from his colleagues intended to drown out Trump’s voice, Green stood up, raised his cane toward the podium and began shouting.
House Speaker Mike Johnson was forced to interrupt the speech, saying, “Members are engaging in willful and continuing breach of decorum, and the chair is prepared to direct the sergeant at arms to restore order to the joint session. … Mr. Green, take your seat.”
The Democrats ignored Johnson until he ordered the House sergeant at arms to remove Green from the chamber.
Green’s hatred for the president is well-documented. During Trump’s first term, Green filed articles of impeachment against him three times. And two weeks into Trump’s new administration, he filed new impeachment articles over what he called “ethnic cleansing in Gaza.”
This is crazy. I have never seen anything like this. Al Green was just removed for being disrespectful and refusing to sit down and be quiet after being warned multiple times. Then the crowd chants na na hey hey hey goodbye as he is being removed. 🤣

A total of 79 Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), voted to advance the measure. Ocasio-Cortez, a vocal critic of the strikes, was lambasted by Trump in a fiery — and well-deserved — Truth Social post on Tuesday. Mary covered that story here.
Given the Democratic Party’s record-low approval ratings and the success of the Trump-ordered mission, it’s truly baffling that any Democrat would waste their time on a stunt like this.

Sorry, Al. Guess it’s back to the GEICO commercials for you.
A better Al Green,

I survived about 45 seconds of that. Put on some Johnny Hartman to cleanse the ears.
Hey, what did the GEICO cave man ever do to you to deserve that dis!
Damn it, Henry. I was going to say that! Or maybe “Switch to Impeachment. So easy a caveman can do it.” 🤣
Sorry that job has been stolen by a southern migrant that refuses to respect borders of any kind…the gecko.
Just spray the border with garlic or peppermint.
Brain the size of a walnut.
“I did not come to Congress to be a bystander while a president abuses power and devolves American democracy into authoritarianism with himself as an authoritarian president.”
When did this become about Barack Obama and Joe Biden?
“President Trump’s unauthorized bombing of Iran constitutes a de facto declaration of war. No president has the right to drag this nation into war without the authorization of the people’s representatives.”
Cool. Now do Obama and Libya, Obama and Pakistan, and Obama and Syria.
They even worked the Charlottesville lie in there. That’s impressive crazy. We’re not dealing with amateur lunatics. These people are pros.
Texas sends only its very best to Washington. Greene, the late Jackson Lee, Crockett, Lyndon Johnson, the Bush’s…
Phil Gramm. Tom Delay. Ted Cruz. Dick Armey. Ron Paul.
with his prolapse countenance and mid-sixties iq, he’s been an enduring embarrassment to his family, our state and congress for a long time–he’s about as useful as a full-up outhouse at a chili cookoff and bears an uncanny resemblance to the overflow
Al Green belongs in a zoo, and hence feels right at home in Congress.
Al Green sure looks a lot like a throwback, and is intellectual capacity seems consistent with early humanoids.
Black man proving some blacks are stupid. Never ending story for this Neanderthal
I believe Neanderthals were smarter than Al Green. There have been many discoveries indicating hat they were quite bright.
Don’t cast aspersions on Neanderthals.
The Neanderthals get a bad rap. From what I have read of them, they were – for their time and what they were – pretty bright and resourceful people.
As opposed to Greene’s ancestors who never built a building higher than grond level, worked with the wheel, did any kind of agriculture, or developed a written language.
Congress not only has plenty of angry black fat lesbian drama queens, it seems to have plenty of angry black fathead male drama queens like Al “GEICO this” Green.
I don’t know who’s dumber, the Geico cave man or the retard who thought Guam would capsize if we expanded the military base there.
It’s race to the bottom.
It’s hard to believe Green has a degree in law.
From Whatsamatter U no doubt!
Kind of like JR’s degree in incompetence.
And more generally, in meeting procedure, to “table” something means to defer discussion of it indefinitely.
At least, that is the meaning in the USA. In the rest of the English-speaking world it means the exact opposite. To “table” something means to bring it on for discussion.
The reason for the difference is where the referenced table is located. In both American and other English-speaking legislatures the full motion is “to lay it on the table”.
In the US Congress and the state legislatures that have copied its usages, the table in question is a side table against a wall, so laying something on it means it will not be discussed right now. It is put there so people can examine it and maybe discuss it later, but chances are good that it will be forgotten and never removed from the table.
In the UK Parliament and the legislatures of other countries that have copied its usages, there is a large table running down the middle of the chamber, at which the government ministers and their opposition counterparts sit. That’s why they’re called “front benchers”. And before anything is discussed it must be put down on that table so everyone can see it. So a motion to lay a measure on the table means to bring it up for immediate discussion.
In this case Green “tabled” his motion in the UK manner, bypassing the normal order of business to bring it up immediately. The House voted instead to “table” it by putting it on the side table, where it will gather dust.
Huh. And here I always thought that the Robert of Robert’s Rules was an Englishman. Nope, he went to West Point.
Can anyone recall Al Green protesting Obama’s “abuses (of) power and (devolving of) American democracy into authoritarianism with himself as an authoritarian president”?
What about Al Green protesting Obama’s unauthorised attacks on other nations which he claims “constitutes a de facto declaration of war”?
Or are things only objectionable and illegal when it’s not a Democrat doing it?
Those are different™
Griz:
“Those are (D)ifferent™.”
FIFY.
Green is worried about authoritarian Trump and yet had nothing to say when Obama bombed countries at will and Biden ran around SCOTUS trying to pay off student loans and get people fired for not getting the experimental gene therapy shot.
The last sentence in the article – “Given the Democratic Party’s record-low approval ratings and the success of the Trump-ordered mission, it’s truly baffling that any Democrat would waste their time on a stunt like this.”
Not remotely baffling – it is the Democrats Cosplaying for their rabid, clueless, and hate filled base, which is most of it. It is what they do – what they are. But the fact that they only got 79 votes ‘to consider’ says that they did try to dial back the ‘insane Trump Hate’ just a bit – progress I guess. The Democrats live for stunts like this – to keep their clueless hate filled base all charged up – sheesh.
Green is like many Dems that have nothing but TDS as a message for his district and the country, which is why the Dems are failing.
Senile cretin
