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.

Round 3.

welp

I guess this does at least serve as a neat little list of evil people, and... whoow, 344 to 79... ok then about 19% of non demon House Reps.

Welp

Ok, anyways, back to our regularly scheduled slowmotion apocalypse, now in x8 speed!

If i was Donald Trump, I would ask them to keep impeaching me for the rest of my term. I want to be the record holder

[-] mayakovsky@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

He already holds the record, but I guess he could try to beat his high score

[-] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

He could certainly make impeachment not a big deal... Which it already is not

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 43 points 1 day ago

I can't wait for the weeks and weeks of liberal copium. "Well you know they're Impeaching him! That's some good news!".

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 33 points 1 day ago

Well I'm sure he'll be removed from office by the Senate this time

checks Senate split by party

Ah well, nevertheless

[-] Rey_McSriff@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago

Demonrats when they have a chance to do meaningless symbolism: liberalism

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's not gonna work but I feel like I have to give the libs the bare minimum credit for actually trying to impeach impeach him for something real and fascist he did instead of some Russiagate bullshit where they're mad he isn't sending more money and weapons to literal nazis in ukkkraine like last time

Of course I expect the majority of warmongering dem politicians to oppose this because they hate Iran way more than they even pretend to hate Trump

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I agree, it is better than the vast majority of them doing literally nothing other than whining about how they can't do anything, and 'hello fellow kids' level insanely out of touch 'zingers' with 'catchphrases'.

So the bar has now ticked up from 'in hell' to 'one centimeter less in hell.'

[-] amazonshopper@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago

would be really funny if it worked this time

[-] LangleyDominos@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

Time's up Donny! The American people are about to find out that you're a big doo-doo head who is not good at imperialism. There will be hearings but not like last time. No, this time there will military experts. The guy who did Highway of Death will testify, under oath, that you're a big doo-doo head who is not good at imperialism. Once the American People see that, it's over. They will not tolerate a big doo-doo head who is bad at imperialism. They're going to wait under 2028 and then they will vote like hell. Once you're out we'll have a real president like Gavin Newsome who is not a big doo-doo head and is good at imperialism. Then America will truly be great again.

Norman Schwarzkopf, welcome to the resistance amerikkka-clap

[-] refolde@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

Surely he won't be able to wriggle his way out of THIS jam!

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

3?! I thought they tried to impeach him like 10 times now.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 day ago

Nope, this is the third time.

Technically, he has been impeached twice, as that specifically means the House has voted to remove him, that is actually what impeached means, but the Senate refused to remove him from office both times.

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

I was wondering what the hell the point of this even was.

[-] abc@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

DANG this time they'll get him!!! how will he recover from his second impeachment??? ignore the official congressional scolding and continue out his term with full support of the republican party?!! walter-shock

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 day ago

What's the difference between his attack on Iran vs the drone strikes Obama did in Yemen?

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

There also wouldn't be any consequences if Trump orders a drone strike on every person who voted to impeach him because the Supreme Court said he could do that.

TONIGHT ON SURVIVOR:

DONAKD TRUMP IS FACED WITH THE ULTIMATE QUESTION:

Is this loss?

[-] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

That's it! Drumf is finished!

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

I'm sure it will work this time, libs!

[-] axont@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

The walls are closing in this time, Donny Boy

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 day ago

what would he ever do if he was impeached (which i think was already killed by the dems anyway)? the shame alone would probably cause him constipation for a day or two

Dems got it this time, no doubt about it

lmaoooooo fantastic trolling by rep green

[-] m532@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 day ago

Next time he'll face immarioment

But when he faces imluigiment is when it gets interesting
