Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) filed an article of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday, accusing the president of failing to notify or seek authorization from Congress before the U.S. launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend.
The resolution alleges “abuse of presidential powers by disregarding the separation of powers—devolving American democracy into authoritarianism by unconstitutionally usurping Congress’s power to declare war.”
“President Trump’s unilateral, unprovoked use of force without congressional authorization or notice constitutes an abuse of power when there was no imminent threat to the United States, which facilitates the devolution of American democracy into authoritarianism,” Green’s resolution reads.
Congress has the sole power to “declare war” under the Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution. Presidents of both parties have struck adversaries without approval from the legislature.
Can’t wait to hear from right wing Democrats about how now is the time for compromise and they don’t want to set precedent, or some shit
You could have every democrat and independent vote to remove and it still won’t pass without Republicans.
And yet some democrats still decided to vote with republicans.
Just to make sure to let the anti-war left know how much their own party hates them and will never represent them.
The funny thing is that dems been blaming 3rd party voters for trump winning despite harris having zero chance to win with them

Congress needs about 200 more Al Greens.
We’d have to get the r’s to agree to it, and they’re just not ready. Trump going full Nazi against US citizens and people who want to live here, cutting medicaid and starting wars, are super duper okay with them.
There’s a higher chance of you winning the lottery and getting struck by lightening on the same day before 200 more Al Greens work for Congress.
That sounds doomed unless they get rid of the war powers act. Presidents have been doing this stuff since the VN era.
Thank you for posting this. I was just about to ask.
I don’t think he notified congress 48h in advance therefore it is not covered by this
(What still doesn’t matter if 51% of congress + 7/11 of the Supreme Court choose to just ignore laws entirely)
He posted on X. That was ruled official communication in his first term. As far as I know there’s not a specific method of notification required.
Is he trying to tell us Change Is Gonna Come?
That’s Sam Cooke
Al Green performed a version with Booker T and the MGs. But yep, Sam Cooke wrote it.
Good luck with that.
How many Republicans do you think will support this? I mean of course this guy is right but that isn’t the point. The US government is so through and through corrupt that laws don’t matter and this impeachment will fail before it’s out of the gates. Even Democrats are in bed with the Cheeto now
Too bad no one will volunteer to get some jizz in the dress…
Imagine if he wore a brown suit, and ate Grey Poupon
