Impeachment Articles Could Be Brought ‘as Early as Mid-Next Week’- 238 Lawmakers Back Impeachment

Two hundred and thirty-eight lawmakers are calling to impeach President Trump following the Wednesday riots at the U.S. Capitol, according to the latest tally on Friday morning.

The number of lawmakers calling for President Trump’s impeachment is growing, with House Democrats drafting articles of impeachment which conclude that the president effectively exists as a “threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution.

President Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any sort of office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States,” the articles state, accusing Trump of inciting the riots that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, resulting in evacuations, lockdowns, and fatalities — including one police officer.

Two-hundred members of the House of Representatives back the calls to impeach Trump — all Democrats and one Republican, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL).

According to CNN’s running tally, the other House members include:

1. Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Thursday that the House is prepared to move forward with impeachment in the event of Vice President Mike Pence or the Cabinet failing to act.

“Yesterday, the president of the United States incited an armed insurrection against America,” she said.

Assistant House Speaker Katherine Clark (D-MA) said on Friday that an impeachment vote could reach the House floor as soon as next week.

Friday, Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) called on President Donald Trump to be “removed from office” over the riots at the U.S. Capitol this week.

Clark said on CNN’s “New Day” if Vice President Mike Pence is not going to invoke the 25th Amendment, as has been reported, then Congress will move forward with impeachment. She expects the articles of impeachment to be brought against Trump “as early as mid-next week” as President-elect Joe Biden is set to take be inaugurated in less than two weeks.

“Donald Trump needs to be removed from office, and we are going to proceed with every tool that we have to make sure that that happens to protect our democracy. If the reports are correct and Mike Pence is not going to uphold his oath of office and remove the president and help protect our democracy, then we will move forward with impeachment to do just that,” Clark threatened.

“[W]e know that we have limited time, but that every day that Donald Trump is President of the United States is a day of grave danger,” she added. “So, we can use procedural tools to get articles of impeachment to the floor for a House vote quickly. We have already had Chairman Jerry Nadler, chair of the Judiciary Committee, say that he will use those tools to bring the articles as fast as possible.”

“When is that?” host John Berman asked.

“Well, that will be, you know, as early as mid-next week,” Clark replied. “We do have a process we have to go through, but let’s be clear what’s at stake here. We have a president who incited a seditious mob to storm the Capitol. We now have five deaths from that. And the harm to our democracy is really unfathomable.”
