Rep. Al Green Introduces Article of Impeachment Against Trump: ‘Usurping Congressional Power To Declare War’

EXCERPT:

GREEN: "Mr. Speaker, and still I rise. And I rise today in the name of government of the people, by the people, for the people. I rise today because our country is nearing a moment of decision. I rise because we are at the intersection of democracy and autocracy. I rise to announce that at this moment in time, I have filed H. Res. 537. H. Res. 537 is a privileged resolution. H. Res. 537 has been filed because I believe that the president of the United States has committed an impeachable act. H. Res. 537 addresses abuse of presidential powers by disregarding the separation of powers, devolving American democracy into an authoritarian, an authoritarian, an authoritarian government, usurping congressional power to declare war.”
