Democrat representative Shri Thanedar on Tuesday moved to force a House vote on his articles of impeachment against President Trump.
Thanedar took to the House floor on Tuesday afternoon to notice his seven articles of impeachment as privileged.
This means the House Republican leaders have two legislative days to bring up the resolution. They are most likely to roll out a motion to table this resolution which would end up killing it.
Thanedar introduced the articles of impeachment, which accuse Trump of offenses including obstruction of justice, bribery, and corruption, and tyrannical overreach, last month.
However, a few Democrats have voiced support for impeaching Trump since he returned to office in January. This is since measures are not likely to go anywhere with Republicans in control of both the House and Senate.
Trump was impeached twice during his first term in office, but was acquitted by the Senate in both situations.
On the House floor, Thanedar accused Trump of committing crimes since Day One. Bribery, corruption, and taking power from the Congress created the unlawful office in DOGE, and that’s a huge violation of the First Amendment rights’- he continued.
‘Just as I stand here in the House of Representatives, Mr. Trump is traveling to the Middle East to accept a present worth $400 million from the foreign government.’
