WATCH LIVE: Trump impeachment vote expected in the House

[Baclava]

Texas Rep. Al Green has introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, forcing a vote

The vote would come too soon for most Democrats, as a majority of the caucus appears to oppose impeachment, for now. But Green is seeking to capitalize on a growing sentiment for impeachment in the wake of Trump’s racist tweets over the weekend.

Green introduced the measure shortly after the House voted to condemn Trump for tweets that four Democratic congresswomen should “go back” to their home countries. All are Americans. Green said Tuesday that Trump is unfit for office and “enough is enough.”

Any member of the House can force an impeachment vote. Green has done so twice before, unsuccessfully.

Any predictions where this is headed?

1. They will table it (which kills it)

and Trump will declare victory by 'bipartisan agreement' that he did nothing wrong.

2. I believe Speaker Pelosi will table it

She's got a plan and this isn't it. But I do sympathize with Rep. Green.

5. It's headed the same place that his last two attempts went

There won't be a vote on it. It will either be tabled or sent to die in committee.

8. Pelosi: " I think we'll get rid of all this right now"...sounds like it

"We'll deal with that resolution on the floor"

[FBaggins]

9. Both mentioned options "deal with it"

There's no chance that they'll allow a vote on the actual articles he wrote.

10. Squashed on the floor, like everyone predicted n/t

6. Kevin McCarthy was on the House floor screaming about decorum

He's so emotional. Must be his time of the month.
