Democrats File For Trump Impeachment

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) has once again launched an effort to impeach President Donald Trump, this time in response to comments the president made regarding Gaza. During a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump suggested that the U.S. might consider taking over the Gaza Strip, a remark that sparked significant backlash from some lawmakers and support from others.

In a speech on the House floor, Green announced that he was filing Articles of Impeachment against the president for “dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.” This marks Green’s fourth attempt at impeachment, a goal he first pursued during Trump’s first term. Green’s prior efforts, in 2017 and 2019, were unsuccessful, and his latest filing comes within weeks of Trump’s second term, making it one of the swiftest impeachment efforts in U.S. history.

Green criticized Trump’s comments, particularly calling the president’s words about Gaza a threat of “ethnic cleansing,” which he condemned as a grave offense, especially coming from the leader of the free world. “Ethnic cleansing has been a crime against humanity,” Green stated. He also expressed disappointment in Netanyahu for not standing against Trump’s remarks, despite the history of his own people’s suffering.

The push for impeachment is unlikely to gain much traction, as Republicans currently control the House of Representatives. Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL), standing in for Speaker Mike Johnson, reminded lawmakers to refrain from personal attacks on the president, adding that Johnson himself believed Trump’s statement on Gaza, while surprising to some, had been welcomed by those seeking peace in the Middle East.

Trump’s critics have long sought to impeach him over various issues, including the 2020 election and the January 6 Capitol riots, but the GOP’s House majority has made these attempts effectively dead on arrival. Likewise, attempts to impeach President Biden, such as those launched by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), have similarly been non-starters. Speaker Mike Johnson, for his part, has expressed firm support for Israel, calling Trump’s actions bold and necessary for Middle Eastern peace.

For now, Green’s articles will likely face a swift dismissal due to the GOP’s strong hold on the House. The proceedings would need to be formally drafted, reviewed by a committee, and voted on—steps that are unlikely to advance this latest impeachment effort.
