House Democrats have officially pushed Speaker Nancy Pelosi to schedule a vote considering articles of impeachment for President Trump. The vote will take place Wednesday and is being spearheaded by Texas Democrat Al Green.

Green is no stranger to articles of impeachment for President Trump and has introduced them multiple times on the House floor. They’ve never received a vote. Last night he did it again, leading to a full House vote later today.

Green's latest move came after the House voted to condemn President Trump for tweets about leftist Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib.

For months, Speaker Pelosi has desperately tried to slow down the momentum for impeachment, which is politically unpopular with voting demographics Democrats need to win or hold onto.

Given the statements made by the “squad’s” during a press conference earlier this week and during and interview with CBS News Wednesday morning, there are rough seas ahead.

Now we'll find out how powerful Pelosi really is.

She wants and needs to stop this for her own political future, and if she can't get a hold of this hydra in the house, she may lose that future.

The vote will fail, but the House will return to it as often as it returned to Obamacare repeal under Obama.  They will return to impeachment again and again until the rats control the House, Senate, and Presidency.  Then they'll forget it as fast as Trump forgot to lock up crooked Hillary.

The Constitution also mentions MISDEMEANOR, Which can mean anything they want, including his so-called "racist" tweets.

Misdemeanor covers allegations of misconduct by officials, such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, unbecoming conduct, refusal to obey a lawful order, chronic intoxication, and tax evasion.
