67% of Democrats and 40% of Americans want Trump impeached.
56% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s job performance. Trump is actively obstructing US Congressional committee attempts to subpoena individuals and documents. Impeachment is initiated by the US House Judiciary committee. Its Chair, US Congressman Nadler, will probably not put up with Trump’s BS much longer. He has a track record to prove it.
“Congress has Article I authority to define generally applicable criminal law and apply it to all persons-including the President. Congress clearly has authority to protect its own legislative functions against corrupt efforts designed to impede legitimate fact -gathering and lawmaking efforts” . (Mueller report: https://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2019/images/04/18/mueller-report-searchable.pdf )
It’s not too late, but if they wait much longer it will be, as it is a long process.
Congressman Al Green @RepAlGreen · Apr 20 “ When the Mueller investigation began, powerful voices indicated it was “too early” to impeach – wait for the Mueller report. Now that the report has been released, powerful voices are starting to indicate that it’s “too late” to impeach – wait for elections“.
US Congressman Al Green of Texas tweets on the Need to Impeach Trump:
“Congressman Al Green @RepAlGreen
Bemoaning the President’s harm to society and high misdeeds is not enough. Article 2, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution was created for a time such as this and a President such as Trump. It’s past time to do more than talk. #ImpeachmentIsNotDead #Helsinki2018 6:57 PM · Jul 16, 2018

@RepAlGreen · Apr 22 It’s time for Congress to take a stand. I stand now where I stood on May 17, 2017 when I officially (on the congressional record) called for impeachment on the Floor of the Congress, after having unofficially called for it previously. Impeach Donald Trump. https://tinyurl.com/y42g6dua

Although the framers of the Constitution gave us the way to deal with an unfit President, they couldn’t give us the will. We must show the will and impeach an unfit President now. #TimeToImpeach
Congressman Al Green @RepAlGreen · Apr 18
Waiting for 2020 tells the American people that political expediency is more important than the moral imperative to hold the President accountable for his actions. #TimeToImpeach
Congressman Al Green @RepAlGreen · Apr 18
With an overwhelming majority in the House of Representatives, Democrats cannot blame Republicans for the President’s impeachable behavior. We have the evidence. We have the majority. We should impeach. #TimeToImpeach
Congressman Al Green @RepAlGreen · Apr 18
The #MuellerReport gives us the green light many have said we need to proceed w/ impeachment. I stand w/ those who want an unfit President removed from office including @RepRashida in her aim to have @HouseJudiciary investigate the President’s impeachable offenses. #TimeToImpeach
Congressman Al Green @RepAlGreen · Apr 18
More than 700 days ago, I took the Floor of the House of Representatives and called for the impeachment of @realDonaldTrump. Where I stood then, I stand now. #TimeToImpeach
Congressman Al Green @RepAlGreen · Apr 18
Per the #MuellerReport, the President indicated “This is the end of my presidency” when he received word that an independent counsel had been appointed. The President knows he shouldn’t be in office. He knows what he has done. We know what he has done. It is #TimeToImpeach.

The #MuellerReport is not complete until Mr. Mueller himself reports to Congress. Special Counsel Mueller, NOT Attorney General Barr, is the best person to explain the Mueller report.#MuellerMustTestify https://twitter.com/RepAlGreen

US Congresswoman Maxine Waters explains the need to impeach. Instead of cooperating with the US Congress, as required, Trump is actively obstructing and even suing a Congressional committee. He’s long refused to provide documentation to Congressional committees and has told people not to comply with subpoenas. He’s totally out of control and the Republican dominated Supreme Court cannot be relied upon. It is the US House’s job to hold him accountable. It’s called checks and balances.
“Finally, Section Two grants to the House of Representatives the sole power of impeachment. Although the Supreme Court has not had an occasion to interpret this specific provision, the Court has suggested that the grant to the House of the “sole” power of impeachment makes the House the exclusive interpreter of what constitutes an impeachable offense. This power, which is analogous to the bringing of criminal charges by a grand jury, has been used only rarely. The House has begun impeachment proceedings 62 times since 1789, and nineteen federal officials have been formally impeached as a result, including: two Presidents (Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton), one Cabinet Secretary (William W. Belknap), one Senator(William Blount), one Supreme Court Associate Justice (Samuel Chase), and fourteen federal judges. Also, notably, impeachment proceedings compelled the resignation of President Richard Nixon.
The Constitution does not specify how impeachment proceedings are to be initiated. Until the early 20th century, a House member could rise and propose an impeachment, which would then be assigned to a committee for investigation. Presently, it is the House Judiciary Committee that initiates the process and then, after investigating the allegations, prepares recommendations for the whole House’s consideration. If the House votes to adopt an impeachment resolution, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee recommends a slate of “managers,” whom the House subsequently approves by resolution. These Representatives subsequently become the prosecution team in the impeachment trial in the Senate (see Section 3, Clause 6 below)…” Read more and see references here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_One_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Clause_5:_Speaker_and_other_officers;_Impeachment
