From The Hill: A trio of House Democrats asked to be removed as co-sponsors of a resolution to impeach President Trump, a sign that many in the party do not want to go down the path of trying to remove the president from office — at least at the current moment.
Reps. Kweisi Mfume (Md.), Robin Kelly (Ill.) and Jerry Nadler (N.Y.) had signed on as co-sponsors of Rep. Shri Thanedar’s (D-Mich.) impeachment resolution — which includes seven articles of impeachment — but Tuesday afternoon, they went to the House floor and asked for their names to be taken off the legislation. The House clerk granted their request.
Spokespeople for Kelly and Mfume said the lawmakers initially signed on to the effort because they assumed it had been reviewed by leadership. When they learned it was not, they asked for their names to be removed.
“Congressman Mfume removed himself as a cosponsor from H. Res. 353 because he was made aware it was not cleared by Democratic leadership and not fully vetted legally — and he preferred to err on the side of caution,” the spokesperson for Mfume said.
“The Congresswoman was under the impression that the resolution was drafted and reviewed by both the House Judiciary Committee and Leadership when she originally signed on during a vote series on the floor,” Kelly’s spokesperson echoed.
The report notes that Thanedar’s impeachment resolution now only has just one co-sponsor: Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.).

Thanedar, 70, was born in India. He came to the United States in 1979 to attend the University of Arkron in Ohio, and became a U.S. citizen in 1988. Thanedar first served in the Michigan House of Representatives from 2021 to 2023. He has served in the U.S. Congress since January 2023.
The foreign-born congressman is doubling down on social media.
“I came to this country in pursuit of the American Dream. This country gave me everything and more, so I can’t sit by while Trump dismantles it for his own personal gain,” he claimed in one post on X Wednesday morning.

In another ranting post, Thanedar wrote, “Both President Trump and I took an oath of office: to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Unlike President Trump, I am committed to fulfilling my oath and defending the Constitution.”
