1. About time...

2. means nothing if Pelosi doesn't sign on an press for IMMEDIATE up/down vote on the House floor TODAY

11. Its not PELOSI's Fault

Like last time she called for the House to Impeach, she prepared her case & quietly secured her votes 1st, while social media drove home the daily rage against her.

This time is no different.
She will do so as she knows she has the House votes, and Schumer & Senate Dems work on securing the Senate votes.

With the groundswell from States, Business & private sectors growing the call to impeach, THIS TIME perhaps enough Senate Repubs will have had enough blowback to do their constitional duty.

She has to wait for Senate Dems to convince enough Repubs to join the national call to impeach Trump.
I have no doubt that is exactly what's taking place today.

If it were up to Speaker Pelosi, Hillary Clinton would be her Madam President.
She wouldn't have spent her final years in DC cleaning up the disaster handed to her, by gullible voters.

Nobody should be laying the blame on Speaker Pelosi. She'll do her part as she always has

4. This is good.

One huge benefit if he were impeached (and it was confirmed in the Senate) is he can never hold office again. It may not help in the next couple weeks, but it would take the 2024 bullshit off the table.

7. There are 2 separate votes

one for impeachment, then a separate vote on barring him from holding any office.

10. Good to know. Thank you.

Still, it’s one possible way to shut down him running again in 2024.

5. Well that's great

... but it's going to take more than 2 weeks to get this through both houses of Congress.
We can spend the time better by invoking 25A. That could be done TODAY!

8. In the house anyway, it could as short as a day.......

All it requires is a brief debate and a vote. The constitution doesn't mandate how votes take place in the house.

A rules change vote, an introduction of the bill, brief remarks, vote. constitutional.

The senate could do the same, but won't. Their rules are theirs to change. As long as roberts presides, and a vote is taken, it works.

They won'y, but more ammo for us. Still, it needs to be done.

6. I kind of wish it wasnt her who drew them up.

[getagrip_already]

9. if pelosi does anything well, it's to make sure her mandates are there....

And she does a lot very, very, well.

No bill will get a vote that doesn't have leadership input and approval.

13. I am just only slightly 100% directly the opposite from you. This not a moment to cower.

This is a time to stand by principled leaders.

[Dream Girl]

15. I'm all for articles of impeachment just would prefer it not be led by Ilhan Omar

Kind of blunts the impact...I can just see Tucker Carlson..

[ffr]

12. I am literally standing and applauding. A standing ovation for my fellow democrats!

There are few days I've been prouder to be a bid D DEMOCRAT!!!

[EndlessWire]

14. I hope they don't forget

that he threatened SoS Raffernsperger of GA if he didn't manufacture votes for him. They should also talk about that.

Get it done. Prevent him from returning for revenge. Plus, he has been setting up for an Iran war. I'd rather have Joe on that problem, thank you.
