Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas introduced his articles of impeachment against President Trump, which will force the House to take up the measure later this week
Green's resolution is unlikely to lead to an actual vote on impeachment in the House, but he can force the chamber to act on it under House rules within two legislative days, creating a dilemma for House Democratic leaders and the moderate Democrats who have largely tried to avoid the issue of impeachment.
The House could also vote to refer the resolution to the Judiciary Committee, but Republicans would likely oppose that vote, forcing Democrats to vote in favor of the referral in order to move the resolution off the floor.House leaers weren't saying how they would handle the resolution on Tuesday before Green formally introduced it.Read More"That will be up to our leadership team to decide," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said when asked about Green's push for a vote.
