Michigan Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar announced Monday he had filed articles of impeachment against President Trump.
"I have introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump," Thanedar said in his announcement online. "When Trump ignores the Constitution, Congress, and the courts, he is not 'fighting for America.' He is tearing it down and endangering our democracy."
The articles of impeachment are unlikely to go anywhere in the GOP House, where Republican support would be needed to win a vote on the articles. The House votes on whether to impeach a president, while the Senate votes on whether to convict a president.
Still, the introduction of the articles of impeachment highlights how angry Democrats are with Trump on [various] issues.
Thanedar said among Trump's impeachable actions were his steep tariff agenda impacting global markets, his treatment of reporters and the First Amendment, his bribery and corruption in the justice system, and his obtaining of Americans' personal data.
"Article seven, tyrannical overreach," Thanedar said. "Finally, and most importantly, he is attempting to consolidate unchecked power and erode the constitutional limits of the presidency," Thanedar said.
"In this country, we have presidents, not kings. That's not just misconduct. It's impeachable misconduct," he continued.-----------------------------------------
Seven articles of impeachment were filed against a President who has been impeached twice before.
An attempt was made... again.
