A Third Impeachment?... We Can Only Hope

Doubtful this will go anywhere. But given his boneheaded tariffs and the damage he has done in only two months we sure as hell hope he's impeached. And if so that he is found guilty and removed from office.

Donald Trump was impeached on two different occasions during his first term, in 2019 and 2021, first over his “perfect phone call” to Ukraine’s President Zelensky, and for the second time over his role in the January 6 Capitol riot. Trump was not removed from office either time, although, by the time the vote was taken in 2021, he had already left office.

The impeachments doubled the number of presidential impeachments in American history from two to four, with Trump joining Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. None were removed from office through the impeachment process, although Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 to avoid nearly-certain removal.

Neither impeachment prevented Trump from running for and getting elected to a second term. And now, a Congressman has announced an effort to impeach Trump a third time.

Meet Al Green

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) is a veteran Congressman from Texas, who made headlines during the president’s joint address to Congress. In March, he was censured by Congress, with ten Democrats joining Republican members in rebuking the protest.

In February, Green took to the floor of the House to announce that “the movement to impeach the president has begun.” At the time, it was about “ethnic cleansing in Gaza,” and the comments came shortly after Trump proposed an American takeover of the Gaza Strip.

This weekend, at the Washington edition of the anti-Trump protests that were held nationwide, Green declared that articles of impeachment will be brought against the president in the next 30 days.

“You can’t be entrusted with liberty and justice for all. You can’t be entrusted with government of the people by the people for the people,” Green said at the “Hands Off” rally in Washington.

Green attempted multiple efforts to impeach Trump during his first term.

Long Odds

In using David-and-Goliath analogies in his speech, Green seemed to acknowledge that the odds of an impeachment effort succeeding, at the moment, are very long. After all, the Republicans control both houses of Congress, and would appear unlikely to initiate an impeachment inquiry. In addition, there’s no indication that Democratic leaders in either house of Congress have any interest in pursuing an impeachment effort.

We can continue to hope against all odds. Oh, and calling your representatives and senators in congress if you approve of this effort may have an affect. Especially of you threaten to withhold your vote next time.

There are many republicans tat are already getting squeamish over much of thge Felon of the US agenda.
