US EditionDem drops effort to force impeachment vote — for now
- Democratic Representative Shri Thanedar of Michigan halted his effort to force a vote on impeaching President Donald Trump on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, in the U.S. House of Representatives.
- Thanedar pursued this 29-page impeachment resolution citing offenses like obstruction of justice and abuse of power but faced opposition from House Democratic leaders who planned to block the motion.
- The resolution, introduced as a privileged motion requiring a vote within two legislative days, accused Trump of bribery, tyranny, and violating due process while Thanedar engaged in private talks urging reconsideration.
- Thanedar announced that after consulting with numerous peers, he would refrain from pushing for an immediate impeachment vote. He committed to expanding the list of impeachable offenses and seeks to build bipartisan support to uphold the Constitution.
- This decision suggests a temporary pause in impeachment efforts amid Democratic concerns about political distraction and the lack of sufficient support for conviction in the Senate.
