A House Democrat is attempting to force a vote to impeach President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No Republicans are likely to support impeaching Trump, however, meaning Thanedar’s measure will likely fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanedar also took a swing at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), calling it a “flagrantly unconstitutional creation.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The India-born Michigan Democrat first introduced seven articles of impeachment against Trump in late April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They include charges of obstruction of justice, tyranny, bribery and corruption, and abuse of trade powers, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
