A House Democrat is attempting to force a vote to impeach President Donald Trump.
Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) introduced his impeachment resolution as privileged on Tuesday afternoon, meaning leaders have two days of the House in session to take up the legislation.
House GOP leaders could move to table the motion, a procedural vote aimed to scuttle a piece of legislation without having lawmakers vote on the legislation itself.
No Republicans are likely to support impeaching Trump, however, meaning Thanedar’s measure will likely fail.
“Donald Trump has unlawfully conducted himself, bringing shame to the presidency and the people of the United States,” Thanedar said when deeming his resolution privileged.
Thanedar also took a swing at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), calling it a “flagrantly unconstitutional creation.”
The India-born Michigan Democrat first introduced seven articles of impeachment against Trump in late April.
They include charges of obstruction of justice, tyranny, bribery and corruption, and abuse of trade powers, among others.
