Congressman Al Green, TX, has "officially" called for impeachment. Now what?

4. Oh my goodness...

Instead of following twitter rumors, a more productive use of time might be to learn something about how the US system of government actually works.

Impeachment does not work by someone in the House, or the House at large, voting on a proposition of "Let's impeach him! Yes or no?"

The Articles of Impeachment, is essentially like a criminal complaint. It is a set of specific charges supported by factual propositions which support those charges.

Like any document to be voted on by the House, it is drafted and passed in committee, and then it is moved to the floor for debate etc..

It is introduced like any other resolution.

It is not "Hey, let's vote on something someone said in a speech."
