The House of Representatives voted Tuesday to table a resolution to impeach President Donald Trump, effectively ending a progressive-led effort before it reached debate. The motion, introduced by Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), was defeated 344\u201379, with a majority of Democrats joining Republicans to block it.<\/p>\n

Green\u2019s resolution cited Trump\u2019s unauthorized airstrikes on Iran as grounds for impeachment, calling them a \u201cde facto declaration of war\u201d without congressional approval. \u201cI did not come to Congress to be a bystander while a president abuses power,\u201d Green said.<\/p>\n

Despite support from some progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), top House Democratic leaders\u2014including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark, and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar\u2014voted to table the resolution, signaling discomfort with the impeachment push.<\/p>\n

Jeffries emphasized the need for the Trump administration to justify its military actions before Congress and urged debate on the War Powers Resolution. \u201cThis is a dangerous moment,\u201d he said, stressing the need for accountability and due process.<\/p>\n

Green has previously called for impeachment, but this latest effort reflects broader tensions over executive power and war-making without congressional consent.<\/p>\n
