HOUSE DEMOCRAT ANNOUNCES ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST TRUMP
On Thursday, he filed H. Res. 415, "Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors."
In the articles of impeachment, Green claims that Trump has engaged in authoritarian rule, violated due process, denigrated federal judges and ignored court orders, including ones from the Supreme Court. He also claims that Trump condoned "untruthful statements" against the Court’s opinion regarding the deportation of accused MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

In his letter, Green made it clear that he was not afraid to "stand alone" against Trump.
"I encourage all members to vote with their conscience. As for me, I stand where I have stood on impeachment, which is a question of conscience, even when the odds are against me — it is better for me to stand alone than not stand at all — it won’t be the first time," Green wrote.
Green has never been silent about his opposition to Trump, even making multiple attempts to impeach the president during his first term. In March 2025, he was removed from Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress after he heckled the president. He was eventually censured for the protest.
