Overview
Texas Rep. Al Green's second attempt this year to impeach President Trump was rejected by the House of Representatives in a 237-140 vote, marking another failed effort.
Green's resolution alleged President Trump bypassed Congress, risked war with Iran after air strikes, and called for executing Democratic lawmakers, prompting the impeachment bid.
The House vote to table the resolution saw 23 Democrats join Republicans in blocking it, while 47 Democrats voted present, highlighting internal party divisions.
This rejection indicated a notable increase in Democratic support for impeachment compared to a similar vote in June, suggesting evolving sentiment within the party.
President Trump has faced two prior House impeachments, in 2019 and 2021, for different reasons, but was acquitted by the Senate on both occasions.
