Rep. Al Green filed formal articles of impeachment against President Trump, charging high crimes and misdemeanors. Green is among the first to formally initiate removal proceedings in this congressional session. Articles of impeachment are procedural documents that trigger debate and a House vote; they don't remove anyone, but they do force the chamber to take a formal position.
Impeachment is rare and usually reserved for genuinely extraordinary moments because it's such a destabilizing tool. Filing articles is a significant act. It signals Green believes the bar for removal has been crossed. Whether his colleagues agree is a different question—impeachment requires House votes and conviction requires Senate supermajority. But the filing itself is a statement that a member believes the presidency has crossed into impeachable territory. What specific conduct triggered this will matter for whether other members join.
