On Tuesday, 232 members of the House voted to table articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, with 18 Democrats joining 213 Republicans in support. The move was led by Representative Al Green (D-TX) who accused Trump of abuse of authority regarding immigration enforcement. Notable among those voting for tabling were Reps. Josh Riley and Jared Golden, while the Democratic leadership abstained from voting to emphasize that proper impeachment procedures had not been followed. This marks a second instance where Green's efforts to impeach Trump have failed to advance in the House.
