House votes to kill Rep. Al Green's resolution to impeach Trump - News Summed Up

House votes to kill Rep. Al Green's resolution to impeach Trump


137 Democrats voted in favor of tabling the resolution compared to just 95 who voted against shelving it. Trump tweeted afterward, "The United States House of Representatives has just overwhelmingly voted to kill the Resolution on Impeachment, 332-95-1. Even if the House voted to impeach Trump, which would amount to filing formal charges, the Republican-run Senate would be unlikely to remove him from office. The freshman lawmakers also have been vocal advocates for Trump’s impeachment. Also backing the measure was Michigan's independent Rep. Justin Amash, who left the GOP this month after becoming the party's sole member of Congress to back a Trump impeachment inquiry.
