President Trump Articles of Impeachment have been introduced by Representative Al Green (D-TX) who stopped Regular House Business with a Privileged Motion to hold Trump Accountable.
"This is about my position. This is about what I believe. And this is where I stand. I will not be moved. The President must be impeached," Green said on the floor. "For those who do not know, impeachment does not mean that the President would be found guilty. It simply means that the House of Representatives will bring charges against the President. It's similar to an indictment but not quite the same thing."
The Texas Democrat said Trump has incited "Hatred, Bigotry, and Invidious Discrimination" against the American People, including "High Crimes and Misdemeanors."
"Resolved that Donald J. Trump, president of the United States of America, has undermined the integrity of his office with impunity and brought disrepute on the presidency with immunity, has betrayed his trust as president to the manifest injury of the American people," Green said, "and is unfit to be president, and is impeached pursuant to Article 2, Section 4 to the Constitution of the United States of America."
The 1st Option for Impeachment requires the Support of a Majority of Members of the House of Representatives. No Republicans have publicly voiced Support for Impeaching Trump. Impeachment requires the Support of a Majority of Members of the House of Representatives. No Republicans have publicly voiced support for impeaching Trump.
The 2nd Option is the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Section 4:
Whenever the Vice President and a Majority of either the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments or of such other Body as Congress may by Law provide, Transmit to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their Written Declaration that the President is Unable to Discharge the Powers and Duties of his Office, the Vice President shall immediately Assume the Powers and Duties of the Office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President Transmits to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his Written Declaration that No Inability exists, he shall Resume the Powers and Duties of his Office unless the Vice President and a Majority of either the Principal Officers of the Executive Department or of such other Body as Congress may by Law provide, Transmit within Four Days to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their Written Declaration that the President is Unable to Discharge the Powers and Duties of his Office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the Issue, Assembling within Forty-Eight Hours for that purpose if not in Session. If the Congress, within Twenty-One Days after Receipt of the latter Written Declaration, or, if Congress is not in Session, within Twenty-One Days after Congress is Required to Assemble, determines by Two-Thirds Vote of both Houses that the President is Unable to Discharge the Powers and Duties of his Office, the Vice President shall Continue to Discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the Powers and Duties of his Office.
Section 4 is the only part of the Amendment that has never been Invoked.
UPDATE
Green pulls Article of Impeachment to give his Colleagues more time to Read the and Digest his Proposal.
