Texas Dem vows to force impeachment vote, defying Pelosi
By Cristina Marcos - 03/12/19 01:02 PM EDT
Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) on Tuesday vowed to force another House floor vote on impeaching President Trump, a day after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made her strongest statements yet opposing impeachment.
In a media blitz, with an interview with C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" and a press conference in his office, Green pledged to force a third impeachment vote and dared Democratic leaders to try to stop him.
"There will be another vote on impeachment," Green said in the C-SPAN interview. "If you desire to stop me, you but only have to change the rules so that I can't bring a vote on impeachment. Otherwise I will, because the Constitution and the rules allow any one person to bring a vote on impeachment."
Green announced last month that he would move forward with a third impeachment vote now that Democrats are in the House majority. Green didn't offer a timeline then or on Tuesday. He still has to introduce his new articles of impeachment.
