Al Green Will Force House Vote on New Trump Impeachment Before Christmas

He will use a privileged resolution to compel consideration in the GOP-led chamber.

Overview

  • The Texas Democrat announced the plan on Nov. 20 during Remove the Regime protests in Washington and promoted a peaceful Lincoln Memorial gathering for Saturday.
  • Green said the filing will be presented as a privileged resolution, which requires floor action within two legislative days even though it can be tabled.
  • This marks his fifth impeachment attempt against President Donald Trump, positioned as a party litmus test by progressive activists.
  • He did not specify the number or substance of the articles he intends to file, saying only that they will be introduced before the Christmas recess.
  • The effort is widely expected to be symbolic in the Republican-controlled House; Green was censured by the chamber in March over conduct during a presidential address.
