Full List of Democrats Who Voted to Block New Trump Impeachment Articles

Nearly 130 House Democrats on Tuesday voted to table articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump over his administration’s bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend.

Representative Al Green of Texas introduced the impeachment articles, calling the military strikes “illegal and unconstitutional.” On Saturday, U.S. aircraft targeted three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—amid Iran’s ongoing war with Israel. While American officials have long suspected Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, Tehran insists its program is focused solely on civilian energy.

The strikes triggered widespread debate about their legality, as Congress had not authorized the attack. Lawmakers also introduced a bipartisan War Powers Resolution to prevent the president from unilaterally involving the U.S. in a war.

In a 344–79 vote, the House overwhelmingly rejected Green’s impeachment resolution. Among Democrats, 128 joined Republicans to table the articles, while 79 voted to advance them.

Text of the Impeachment Articles

Green’s resolution stated:

“In starting his illegal and unconstitutional war with Iran without the constitutionally mandated consent of Congress or appropriate notice to Congress, President Trump acted in direct violation of the War Powers Clause of the Constitution.”

The articles also charged:

“President Trump has devolved and continues to devolve American democracy into authoritarianism by disregarding the separation of powers and usurping congressional war powers.”

Previous Impeachments of Donald Trump

Trump was impeached twice during his first term but acquitted both times. The first impeachment involved allegations he pressured Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden. The second followed the January 6 Capitol attack by his supporters.

About Al Green

Elected in 2004, Green is a former civil rights lawyer and past president of the Houston NAACP. He was among the first lawmakers to introduce impeachment articles against Trump in his first term, citing obstruction of justice related to the firing of FBI Director James Comey. He also proposed impeachment earlier this year.

Responses

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement to Newsweek:

“President Trump was able to quickly accomplish what no other President has—thanks to his ‘peace through strength’ leadership, Iran’s nuclear program has been obliterated and a ceasefire has been agreed to. Eliminating the prospect of nuclear war is a nonpartisan accomplishment everyone should celebrate.”

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the strikes on X:

“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Republican Representative Mike Lawler countered:

“This is absurd. The United States has not declared war since 1942 and has conducted over 125 military actions since then, including Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Presidents of both parties have relied on Article II authority and AUMFs to conduct strikes and were not impeached. In 2011, Barack Obama waged an eight-month campaign in Libya.”

Any future impeachment effort will likely struggle in the current Congress, where Republicans hold a narrow majority.
