House Democrats Join Republicans in Blocking Trump Impeachment Effort
The 232-147 vote, with 47 members present, blocked Al Green’s effort after Democratic leaders declined to whip support.
- On Tuesday, the House voted 232-147 to table Democratic Rep. Al Green's resolution to impeach President Trump, effectively killing the measure as 47 lawmakers voted 'present'.
- Green's resolution cited the killings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero by federal Immigration, Customs Enforcement, and Border Protection agents this year.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar voted 'present,' stating impeachment is a 'sacred constitutional vehicle' requiring a 'comprehensive investigative process.'
- Democratic leadership did not whip the vote, signaling preference for formal procedure over symbolic action as Green prepares to leave Congress in January after losing his Houston-area primary.
- Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin told NBC's 'Meet the Press' earlier this month that Democrats 'will not hesitate' to pursue impeachment if they regain the majority for the remaining two years of Trump's term.
