House Rejects Trump Impeachment Over Iran Strikes

The House of Representatives voted 344-79 to table a resolution by Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) to impeach President Trump for ordering strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities without congressional approval. Green accused Trump of violating the separation of powers and abusing executive authority, but most Democrats joined Republicans in rejecting the measure, with party leaders preferring to focus on other legislative priorities. The strikes have sparked renewed debate in Congress over the president's war powers, leading to calls for a separate war powers resolution, though House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes such measures. This impeachment attempt is the latest in a series by Green against Trump, who has previously survived multiple efforts. The White House maintains that congressional leaders were informed about the urgency of the strikes. Congressional leaders and intelligence officials are set to brief lawmakers on the Iran situation later this week.
