The House of Representatives voted along bipartisan lines to cancel the only progressive legislator’s bid for enemy President Bargain each Donald Trump Tuesday afternoon.
Lawmakers agreed to take action from 344-79 votes. Voting for the table is a procedural mechanism that allows House members to vote against the consideration of the bill without voting for the bill itself.
The resolution was provided by Rep. D-Texas Al Green, who was infamously kicked out of Trump’s speech to a joint Congressional session earlier this year due to repeated suspensions of the president.
It’s a sign of how politically caustic the efforts are to join Republican lawmakers and kill Green’s resolution. Just 79 Democrats voted to advance the bluff each vote, and 128 voted to stop it on that track.

After threatening to fire Trump each, Green said his latest bid was intended to be a presidential strike against Iran from the weekend.
“While the president abused power and entrusted American democracy to authoritarianism as an authoritarian president, I didn’t come to Congress,” Green said in a statement Tuesday morning.
“President Trump’s illicit bombings on Iran constitute a de facto declaration of war. The president has no right to draw this country into war without the permission of people’s representatives.”
Other progressives, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, DN.Y., called for Trump’s bounce each against the strike in Iran.

Trump I laughed at those progressives I provoked them to “make my day” in a long truth social post on Tuesday.
“She’s better to start worrying about her primary election before she thinks about defeating the great Palestinian Senator, Creein Chuck Schumer, Trump wrote. “She and her Democrat friends hit the lowest poll count in Congress’ history, so go ahead and try bang each,” he posted.
The push has also placed House Democrat leaders in a difficult place. House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, DN.Y., declined to question progressives calling for Trump to be expelled at a press conference Monday.

“The tool currently on the table is to continue to require the administration to present itself before the US Congress and to assert the American people about why this extraordinary step was taken. That’s Step 1,” Jeffries said.

“Step 2 is about a resolution of war power, whether it should occur after that, as it should have occurred, as it was already supposed to occur on the house floor, whether it was already introduced or anyone else who could have been introduced thereafter.
I pressed again whether he was taking it I’m looking for a card bullet each Seriously, Jeffries said, “This is a dangerous moment where we are and we have to overcome what is right in front of us. And what is right in front of us is the responsibility of the Trump administration to come to Congress and justify the actions that have seen evidence that justify the offensive strength in Iran.”
