Did Democrats Just Try to IMPEACH President Trump?! 🔥
Welcome back to The Josh Lafazan Show! Today, we break down the most talked-about political stunt in Washington this week — a failed Democratic-led impeachment attempt against Donald Trump that went down in flames in the House of Representatives 💥
📜 #1 - Impeachment Attempt FLOPS Hard
Yes, it’s true. Texas Congressman Al Green filed new Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump — this time citing Trump’s unauthorized strike on Iran, alleged violations of the Emoluments Clause, and obstruction of justice stemming from both his past and current terms.
🎙️ “This is not just about the past — it’s about preventing future abuse,” Green said.

But here’s the kicker:
The House didn’t just vote it down. They crushed it — by a stunning 344-79 margin 😬
Over 120 Democrats sided with Republicans to table the effort, signaling just how little appetite there is — even among Democrats — for another impeachment fight.
🔎 Why did it fail so badly?
• Republicans control the House
• Democratic leadership opposed it
• The Senate would never convict anyway
Even top progressives acknowledged this effort was largely symbolic — a message to voters, not a real pathway to remove Trump from office. Still, it raises questions:
❓ Does this failed vote hurt future chances of impeachment?
❓ Will it weaken Congress’s ability to hold Trump accountable over Iran?
❓ Or will it fire up progressive voters ahead of 2026 and 2028?
📚 Quick Impeachment Refresher

❌ 0 presidents removed from office
This wasn’t even close to being #4.

⚠️ What Were the Charges?
Ordering military strikes on Iran without congressional authorization
Profiting off the presidency — alleged Emoluments Clause violations
Continuing to obstruct justice since returning to office
Al Green may be a familiar name — he also led impeachment efforts in Trump’s first term. This time, the effort was linked directly to Trump’s aggressive foreign policy and calls for regime change in Iran, which many say violated the War Powers Resolution.
🟡 But Not Everyone's on Board
As Axios reported, a majority of House Democrats joined Republicans in shutting it down, arguing that:
⚠️ It would backfire politically
⚠️ It could energize Trump’s base
⚠️ It would distract from actual legislative goals
For some Democrats, the risk wasn’t worth it.
🗣️ Meanwhile, Al Green and his allies believe silence is complicity. They argue impeachment was morally necessary — a line in the sand against authoritarian behavior. But now, even Trump’s critics in Congress are questioning whether it’s time to rethink their strategy.

🧩 What Comes Next?
Another impeachment push? Unlikely — after that margin, momentum is gone.
Public opinion shift? Maybe. These symbolic efforts often plant seeds.
Trump empowered? Probably. With impeachment off the table, will Trump continue bypassing Congress in military matters?
🧨 This wasn’t about removing Trump today. It was about defining the stakes heading into 2026 and 2028.
