House torpedoes Rep. Al Green’s effort to impeach Trump over Iran strikes
- The House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to table a resolution introduced by Democratic Rep. Al Green to impeach President Donald Trump over recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
- The resolution arose after the U.S. launched military strikes without congressional approval, prompting accusations that President Trump bypassed Congress's war powers.
- Majority support, including 216 Republicans and 128 Democrats, led to a 344-79 vote to set aside the measure, signaling bipartisan resistance to pursuing impeachment amid ongoing Middle East tensions.
- Texas Rep. Al Green's resolution accused the President of "disregarding the Separation of Powers" and argued the action devolved democracy into authoritarianism by failing to consult Congress before the strikes.
- The vote prevented further consideration of the impeachment effort, suggesting congressional reluctance to engage in impeachment proceedings at this time despite rising regional instability.
