Democrats join GOP to block Trump impeachment resolution
by Laura Barrón-López | Dec 6, 2017, 2:05 PM

A majority of House Democrats joined with Republicans on Wednesday to block a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Trump, after Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, forced a vote on the measure.

Green was able to bring the articles of impeachment to the floor through a privileged resolution, and had warned for weeks that he was about to do so. But it was expected to go nowhere, in large part because Democratic leaders have said for months that it's far too early to consider the move.

After Green called it up, Republicans made a motion to set it aside, and that GOP motion won easily, as a majority of Democrats supported. The House agreed to table the resolution in a 364-58 vote.

Al Green looks like an idiot. He should go back to singing and wearing hot grits.

Not the same Al Green! This one can't sing a note and is as dumb as a stump!

Nowhere in the article does it mention any charges.  I don't know much about the process, but I'd think at this point they'd need to at least mention what the specific issues are.
