House votes 332 to 95, with one lawmaker voting 'present,' to table a resolution from Rep. Al Green to impeach President Trump over racist comments he made about 4 Democratic congresswomen of color, effectively killing the measure.
The House voted on Wednesday to table a resolution from Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, to impeach President Donald Trump over racist comments he made about four Democratic congresswomen of color, effectively killing the measure.
All Republicans joined with 137 Democrats and the lone independent, Justin Amash, to table the resolution. Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., voted against killing the resolution, which his spokesperson said was because Nadler believed the House should have first sent it to his committee for consideration.
