Will this come to a vote?

 Hi Everyone!

 

You have probably read that Representative Steve Cohen, 

 

 

a Democrat from Tennessee, has issued 26 articles of impeachment against the "thing". This comes just 9 days after the house rejected a separate impeachment effort by Representative Al Green, a Democrat from Texas. The vote was 232-147. 

(Eighteen Democrats joined Republicans in voting to table the articles, including some of the most conservative Democrats in the caucus like Representatives Jared Golden (D-Maine) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez — who has also twice broken with their caucus to help buoy Republican priorities in recent weeks. Another 46 Democrats voted “present,” including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries D-New York).

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) also recently introduced articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Cohen's list is much more detailed than Green's.

This is Cohen's

With the republicans holding the majority of the house this effort may be tabled as well. 

 Representative Cohen himself acknowledged the political reality, calling the "sycophantic Republican majority" derelict in their duty and noting in his statement that the resolution is largely a symbolic measure intended to create a historical record of dissent. 

 

We are witnessing the rapid demise of American democracy before us, as this "thing" and his covert allies systematically undermine and fracture our fundamental freedoms.
