US House Votes to Kill Resolution to Impeach Donald Trump
· World · CBS News, New York Times
The US House of Representatives voted to table a resolution introduced by Representative Al Green that sought to impeach President Donald Trump. The motion to kill the resolution passed, effectively ending the legislative attempt. This procedural move prevented the House from holding a full floor vote on the impeachment articles. The resolution had been brought forward by the Texas Democrat, but it failed to gain the necessary support to proceed. No further action on this specific impeachment effort is expected following the vote.
Why it matters
The vote demonstrates the current lack of legislative support for impeachment proceedings against the President within the House, maintaining the status quo in Washington, DC.
