Representative Al Green, a Texas Democrat, officially introduced new Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

“In starting his illegal and unconstitutional war with Iran without the constitutionally mandated consent of Congress or appropriate notice to Congress, President Trump acted in direct violation of the War Powers Clause of the Constitution,” Green’s articles state.

“President Trump has devolved and continues to devolve American democracy into authoritarianism by disregarding the separation of powers and now usurping congressional war powers.”

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Round 3.

    It’s not gonna work but I feel like I have to give the libs the bare minimum credit for actually trying to impeach impeach him for something real and fascist he did instead of some Russiagate bullshit where they’re mad he isn’t sending more money and weapons to literal nazis in ukkkraine like last time

    Of course I expect the majority of warmongering dem politicians to oppose this because they hate Iran way more than they even pretend to hate Trump

      I agree, it is better than the vast majority of them doing literally nothing other than whining about how they can’t do anything, and ‘hello fellow kids’ level insanely out of touch ‘zingers’ with ‘catchphrases’.

      So the bar has now ticked up from ‘in hell’ to ‘one centimeter less in hell.’
