Rep. Al Green Calls for Third Trump Impeachment After Disruption During Congressional Address
The Texas Democrat protested proposed cuts to Medicaid and accused Trump of being unfit for office, though his impeachment effort lacks party support.
- Rep. Al Green was removed from President Trump's joint address to Congress after interrupting to protest proposed cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
- Green announced plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump, citing the president's 34 felony convictions and previous impeachments as evidence of unfitness for office.
- The Republican-controlled House recently approved a budget framework that includes significant cuts to Medicaid and funds for mass deportation plans, sparking Democratic opposition.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized Green's actions and called for his censure, emphasizing the need to maintain decorum during congressional sessions.
- Green's impeachment effort is unlikely to gain traction, with Democratic leadership signaling no support and Republicans holding control of both the House and Senate.
