The Texas Democrat introduced the articles, accusing the president of starting an "illegal and unconstitutional war."

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.

    Good. Even if it doesn’t have a hope in hell of passing this Congress, they need to impeach this motherfucker everytime he reaches for the fascism button. The more the better. We need to document every violation. Think about the previous two articles - if it wasn’t for those impeachment attempts, we probably wouldn’t even remember the quid pro quo with Ukraine or the Jan 6th insurrection. Hell, it seems like most voters have already forgotten those past crimes.

      I don’t think they’ve forgotten; they just don’t care.

      But I’m sure Trump is like “another day, another impeachment.” He’s now opened the door in public discourse to “they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing” (referring to Iran and Israel), so he’s got that one ready to go for any anemic attempt to file articles that go nowhere.
