John, 

BREAKING: Rep. Al Green today introduced a new article of impeachment against President Trump for directly violating the War Powers Clause in his military strike on Iran. With the Congressman invoking Rule IX, the House held its first impeachment vote of Trump’s second term.

Trump’s unilateral decision to strike without congressional authority or any imminent threat from Iran jeopardizes American lives and interests. This unprovoked use of force has and will continue to escalate conflicts in the already volatile Middle East region, and will put a direct target on American civilians, military personnel, equipment, and bases in the region.

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

ADD YOUR NAME: Tell Congress to Impeach Donald Trump.

Free Speech For People is proud to have worked closely with Rep. Green in drafting this new article. We commend him for his courage and his leadership in forcing a House floor vote.

Donald Trump is not a king. Rep. Green and 78 other members of Congress abided by their oath to protect and defend the Constitution and voted no on the motion to table this article of impeachment. Those who voted yes on that motion will be recorded in history for ignoring their oath and standing on the sidelines while this lawless president tramples on the Constitution. They will now need to answer to their constituents on why, in the face of this attack on the Constitution, they did not stand up.

This movement will only continue to grow, and we will continue to stand up in the defense of our democracy and our Constitution at this critical moment in history.

In solidarity,
