Story highlights Rep. Al Green also called for the impeachment of Trump in MayHe argued Trump should be impeached for his rhetoric against certain groupsWashington (CNN) A resolution to start the process of impeaching President Donald Trump was tabled Wednesday, following a push from Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas to force such a vote on the House floor. The vote was 364-58 and was not directly on the resolution, rather a vote to table the proposal. The move to impeach was not supported by Democratic leaders, who have pushed aside the idea of impeaching the President. "For this reason, I will bring articles of impeachment to a vote in the House of Representatives." The vote happened under a process where lawmakers in the House can offer "privileged" motions on impeachment, which means they can force the House floor to consider the subject.
