128 Democrats join House GOP to block progressive's bid to impeach Trump
Story by Elizabeth Elkind • 15h
The House of Representatives voted along bipartisan lines to quash a lone progressive lawmaker's bid to impeach President Donald Trump on Tuesday afternoon.
Lawmakers agreed to table the measure, a procedural mechanism allowing House members to vote against consideration of a bill without having to vote on the bill itself.
The resolution was offered by Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who was infamously ejected from Trump's address to a joint session of Congress earlier this year for repeatedly interrupting the president.
Dozens of House Democrats joined Republican lawmakers to kill Green's resolution, a sign of how politically caustic the effort appears to be.
