From Fox News: A lone progressive’s effort to impeach President Donald Trump failed Thursday, with nearly two dozen Democrats joining the House GOP to quash it.
Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, moved to get a vote on two articles of impeachment Wednesday night via a privileged resolution, a mechanism allowing lawmakers to force action on a bill within two legislative days.
Republicans called for a vote to table the measure on Thursday, a move that effectively kills consideration of the bill itself when a privileged resolution is called for.
Twenty-three Democrats joined Republicans in pushing the impeachment aside. A significant number of Democrats also voted “present,” including all three senior leaders — House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar, D-Calif.
A total of 47 Democrats voted “present,” unwilling to completely cross the line, but also unwilling to go down the impeachment path.
The 23 Democrat congress members voting with Republicans to table the impeachment legislation were:
- Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.)
- Jim Costa (D-Calif.)
- Jason Crow (D-Col.)
- Henry Cuellar (D-Tex.)
- Sharice Davids (D-KS)
- Donald G. Davis (D-NC)
- Shomari Figures (D-Al.)
- Jared Golden (D-ME)
- Vicente Gonzalez (D-Tex.)
- Maggie Goodlander (D-NH)
- Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ)
- Adam Gray (D-Calif.)
- Rick Larsen (D-WA)
- Susie Lee (D-NV)
- Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-Mich.)
- Jimmy Panetta (D-Calif.)
- Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.)
- Josh Riley (D-NY)
- Hillary Scholten (D-Mich.)
- Kim Schrier (D-Wash.)
- Greg Stanton (D-AZ)
- Thomas Suozzi (D-NY)
- Eugene Simon Vindman (D-Va.)
Defending his call to impeach President Trump, Rep. Green raged, “This president is a reckless, ruthless, lawless person who doesn’t deserve the title of President of the United States of America!”
