House Dems introduce five articles of impeachment against Trump
The U.S. President, Donald J. Trump, is one of America's most controversial presidents yet. Only 10 months through his presidency, and only 1 year after he became the president-elect, he may just be the first president to be fully impeached. Ever.
However it's still very far away; if the investigations into impeachable offenses will ever even make it that far. But House Democrats aren't holding back and have already began calling for action in orders to begin impeachment talks about the President.
Top Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, have said that impeachment against the 45th US President is not a route Democrats currently intend to go down. But this was nearly completely backtracked and attacked by major House Democrats of which have announced five articles of impeachment on Wednesday.
This number isn't as high as you may think, however. We've noted that at least thirty-four articles of impeachment were brought to the floor of the House against Bush 43 during his presidency. No impeachment articles were filed against Obama.
However in comparison to Bill Clinton, the most recent U.S. President to have been impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives, only four articles of impeachment were brought against then-President Clinton before the House voted to impeach him. Two of the four articles failed.
Democrats this year have been almost needy to introduce these articles; even if they knew they wouldn't go anywhere as Republicans currently control both Houses of congress, as well as the U.S. Senate.
In fact, as they introduced the 5 articles of impeachment they did acknowledge they knew that the chances of these articles going anywhere was slim to never.
This is the main reason that major news agencies across the U.S. had not picked up the story as a major development today. CNN, Fox News, New York Times, Washington Post and even The Hill did not treat the articles of impeachment as 'large issues', though still reporting them slightly, favoring the bipartisan media hatred of Roy Moore.
