    WASHINGTON – The U.S. House voted decisively on Tuesday to dismiss a proposal to impeach President Donald Trump on the solitary charge of abuse of power following his military action against Iran without seeking prior approval from Congress.

    This unexpected move, initiated by a single Democrat, Rep. Al Green from Texas, resulted in minimal debate and caused a rift within his party. The majority of Democrats sided with the Republican majority to put aside the measure, at least for the time being. However, several Democrats supported Green’s initiative, with the vote concluding at 344-79.

    “I take no delight in what I’m doing,” Green said ahead of the vote.

    “I do this because no one person should have the power to lead over 300 million people without consulting with the Congress of the United States of America,” he stated. “I do this because I realize that the Constitution is either going to have significance or it’s going to lack significance.”

    The effort, while not the first rumblings of actions to impeach Trump since he started his second term at the White House in January, shows the unease many Democrats have with his administration, particularly after the sudden attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, a risky incursion into Middle East affairs.

    Trump earlier Tuesday lashed out in vulgar terms against another Democrat, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, for having suggested his military action against Iran was an impeachable offense.

    House Democratic leadership was careful not to directly criticize Green, but also made clear that their focus was on other issues. Impeachment matters are typically considered a vote of conscience, without pressure from leadership to vote a certain way.

    Rep. Pete Aguilar of California, chair of the House Democratic caucus, said lawmakers will “represent their constituents and their communities.”

    “At this time, at this moment, we are focusing on what this big, ugly bill is going to do,” he said about the big Trump tax breaks package making its way through Congress. “I think anything outside of that is a distraction because this is the most important thing that we can focus on.”

    Trump was twice impeached by House Democrats during his first term, in 2019 over withholding funds to Ukraine as it faced military aggression from Russia, and in 2021 on the charge of inciting an insurrection after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by his supporters trying to stop Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential election victory.

    In both of those impeachment cases, the Senate acquitted Trump of charges, allowing his return to the presidency this year.

    Green, who had filed earlier articles of impeachment against the president this year, has been a consistent voice speaking out against Trump’s actions, which he warns is America’s slide toward authoritarianism.

    The congressman told AP earlier in the day that he wanted to force the vote to show that at least one member of Congress was watching the president’s action and working to keep the White House in check.
