House Democrats Join Republicans in Blocking Trump Impeachment Effort
The vote halted a longshot effort by Rep. Al Green, while House Democratic leaders said impeachment requires a broader investigative record.
- The House killed a resolution to impeach President Trump on Tuesday, approving a Republican motion to table the measure in a 232–147 vote with 47 members voting present.
- Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas introduced the resolution citing concerns over Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection conduct, referencing deaths of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar stated 'none of that serious work has been done' regarding impeachment, announcing Monday they would vote 'present' on the motion.
- Green, who is set to leave Congress in January, has spearheaded several unsuccessful attempts to impeach Trump since his first term, explaining why this latest effort faced immediate dismissal.
- Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, poised to lead the House Judiciary Committee if Democrats win the majority, told 'Meet the Press' earlier this month that 'we will not hesitate' to use impeachment if needed.
