- Democrats bind to Republicans in 344-79 votes to cancel the measure.
- Seventy -nine democrats of the House of Representatives vote for Al Green’s resolution.
- Legislators describe the vote as “a completely inserty and selfish movement.”
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, survived an attempt at political trial in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, since a resolution presented by the representative to Green accuses him of the recent strikes about Iran was overwhelmingly presented.
Voting 344-79 saw a significant number of Democrats join Republicans to cancel the measure. The breakdown of the vote revealed that 128 Democrats put on the side of the 216 Republicans of the House of Representatives to block Green’s resolution, Political reported.
This group included a large part of the democratic leadership, such as the leader of the minority of the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, and the president of the House of Representatives, Emerita Nancy Pelosi, who have expressed caution regarding the efforts of political trial after the two previous accusations of Trump failed during his first mandate.
On the contrary, 79 Democrats of the House of Representatives, predominantly progressive of electorally safe districts, voted to keep Green’s resolution alive. This contingent included prominent figures such as the representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has been vocal in his calls to the accusation after Iran’s strikes.
This development extends close to the surprise Air War of Israel, which was launched on June 13, hitting the Iranian nuclear sites where he said that Tehran was trying to develop an atomic bomb and killing the main military commanders in the worst blow to the Islamic Republic since the 1980 war with Iraq.
Iran, who says that his uranium enrichment program is for peaceful purposes and denies trying to build nuclear weapons, reprisals with a series of missile barriers in Israeli cities.
This escalation in regional tensions also witnessed the US military intervention after Trump, on June 21, ordered attacks in three nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz E, Isfahan, before the mandatory authorization of the Congress for the use of military force.
Earlier on Tuesday, both Iran and Israel pointed out that the air war between the two nations had concluded, at least for now, after Trump scolded them for raping a high fire that announced at 0500 GMT.
This led Green to force a rapid vote on his five -page measure, which argued that Trump “ignored the doctrine of the separation of powers by usurping the power of Congress to declare war.”
This movement was received with private fury by many Chamber Democrats.
The legislators supported that the vote was “premature” and “useless”, they described it as a “completely insertious and selfish movement” that put them in a difficult political position, Axios reported.
Several Democrats expressed their frustration, stating that there was “much” anger about the vote and that “most people think it is useless.” They highlighted the challenge of balancing the demands of the grassroots activists who press for the accusation with the broader and more moderate electorate. “
He puts people in a difficult situation, “said a Democratic house, while another was enraged:” There are many other things in which we should focus at this time. “
Concerns about the legal and strategic merits of Green’s resolution were also raised.
Some legislators argued that the measure was weak, even more than a previous attempt to dismiss the representative Shri Thanedar that was withdrawn last month due to the fierce setback.
“What a message for China and Russia: after taking military measures, we tried to accuse the president,” said representative Jared Moskowitz.
Another Democrat questioned the potential of the courts to maintain dismissal, pointing out the “fiercely disputed” nature of constitutional war powers.
Despite the general criticisms of his own party, representative Green said Axios He did not have “a cigarette of repentance” for forcing the vote, stating that it was a matter of “consciousness.”
Green emphasized his belief that “no person should have the power to bring more than 300 million people to war without consulting with Congress.”
