Congressman Al Greene introduced the articles, which accuse the president of starting an "illegal and unconstitutional war."

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.

    He’s facing new Articles of Impeachment the same way I’m facing new obstacles when walking out the door because a leaf fell on the ground. Technically true, but overwhelmingly meaningless.
