Democrat Al Green to force House-wide vote on impeaching Trump

Longtime Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, announced on Monday that he intends to force a vote on impeaching President Donald Trump, citing federal immigration officers' killing of two U.S. citizens earlier this year.

Green, who has publicly protested Trump on multiple occasions, introduced what's called a privileged resolution on the House floor aimed at booting the president out of office. A privileged resolution is a mechanism that allows any lawmaker to force the entire chamber to consider a bill within two legislative days.

That means House GOP leaders will have to hold a vote on the measure by the end of the day on Wednesday.
