Tlaib unveils resolution to investigate Trump impeachment
By Cristina Marcos - 03/27/19 07:05 PM EDT
Freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) unveiled a resolution on Wednesday that would call on the House Judiciary Committee to investigate whether President Trump committed impeachable offenses, despite a cool reception from most fellow Democrats.
Tlaib said she is introducing her resolution so that it "ensures we don't have a lawless society that results in irreparable harm to the American people."
"Doing nothing when we are seeing blatant disregard of the United States Constitution, to our ethical norms, is dangerous. No one, including the president of the United States, is above the law," Tlaib said in a House floor speech.
Tlaib drew headlines on her first day in office in January when she was filmed at an event with supporters saying that Democrats should "impeach the motherf---er," in reference to Trump.
