WASHINGTON — Rep. Al Green, who has been on a “mission” to remove Donald Trump from office, is not optimistic the articles of impeachment unveiled by House Democrats on Tuesday will succeed in a Senate trial, but the Texas Democrat says he still thinks the push to force the president out of the White House won’t end there.
The two articles of impeachment presented by House Democratic leadership are for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to the investigation into whether Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate a political rival.
Story continuesOnce impeachment moves to the upper chamber, a two-thirds majority of 67 votes would be required to remove Trump from office, which appears highly unlikely at the moment given that Republicans control the Senate 53-47. On Dec. 4, Green sent a memo to other House members urging them to include Trump’s “racism” in the articles of impeachment.
Green isn’t the only member of Congress who publicly called for broader articles of impeachment. Last week, Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., the third ranking House Democrat, said he wanted to see some of the allegations outlined in the special counsel’s report from the Russia investigation included in impeachment. Clyburn’s office did not respond to a request for comment after the articles were unveiled.
