House rejects Democratic effort to impeach Trump as shutdown looms |
2018-01-20 |
[THEHILL] The House on Friday once again rejected an effort by Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) to impeach President Trump, in a sign of inflamed partisan tensions ahead of a midnight deadline to avoid a government shutdown. Green, who has agitated for Trump’s impeachment for months, forced a procedural vote on articles of impeachment following Trump’s Oval Office comments last week describing some nations as “shithole countries” while expressing a preference for immigrants from places like Norway. It failed by a 355-66 vote, with three Democrats voting "present." |

#1 355-66 I'd remember that ratio when the Civil War moves from Warm to Hot. |
