Who introduced the impeachment resolution against Trump?
a democratic congress member from detroit introduced a resolution for the impeachment of donald trump today on the house floor this utterly pissed off the mega republicans in the house and they tried to cut off the democratic congress member from even speaking i want to show you what went down here as you have Democratic Congress member Sri Thanedar. He's a Congress member from Detroit. He's about to introduce this resolution for impeachment. Then MAGA Republican Representative Wilson says, stop talking, stop talking. I want to show you the introduction of this resolution. Let me show you what happens when the MAGA Republicans try to interrupt first. Let's play this clip.
Department of Education, as enacted in the Department of Education,
From South Carolina, seek recognition. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Michigan was recognized for one minute. He has substantially exceeded one minute with absurdities.
Actually, the gentleman at this point had spoken for one minute, then was recognized subsequently to give notice under Rule 9 for a resolution. So the gentleman has the floor for that purpose. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The gentleman from Michigan may continue.
So then finally, Democratic Congress member Thanadar gets to introduce the resolution. You know, and it's a pretty powerful resolution. Look, with the MAGA Republicans in control of the House and the Senate, they're not going to pass any such resolution. But Donald Trump is engaging in high crimes and misdemeanors before our eyes. It's clear that that's happening every single day. And frankly, multiple times a day, Donald Trump is committing crimes. whether it's accepting bribes, whether it's defying Supreme Court orders. Donald Trump is a criminal. He's always been. He's a felon. He's a sexual abuser. He is a fraud. He is a bankruptor. He is a utter embarrassment to the United States of America.
So, you know, let me know what you think about the fact that Democratic Congress member Thanadar is introducing this resolution for impeachment. Obviously, the MAGA Republicans are going to block it. But what do you think about him even introducing it? Let me show you what went down. Play this clip.
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Class 2A1 of Rule 9, arise to give notice. of my intention to raise a question of the privilege of the House.
Yes, and the gentleman will read the notice.
May I proceed? Yes, the gentleman. Can I ask to read the notice? Mr. Speaker, the form of the resolution is as follows. House Resolution 353, Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. resolved that Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate. Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America against Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors. Article 1, obstruction of justice, violation of due process, and a breach the duty to faithfully execute laws.
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives shall have the sole power of impeachment and that the president shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of prison, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. Further, Article 2 of the Constitution states that the president shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
And by the way, here the Congress member is talking about it even more, about what he's doing here, what he's after, what his goal is here. Here, play this clip.
This is Congressman Sree Thanedar. Donald Trump has already done real damage to our democracy. But defying a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling? That has to be the final straw. It's time we impeach Donald J. Trump. The court said the wrongfully deported Kilmer Garcia must be allowed to return and receive due process. Trump ignored it. He ignored the Constitution.
