- Democrats join the Republicans in 344-79 voted to cancel the measure.
- Seventy-nine Democrats of the Chamber vote for the resolution of Al Green.
- The legislators describe the vote as “a completely unnecessary selfish decision”.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, survived an attempt to indict the House of Representatives on Tuesday, because a resolution presented by representative Al Green to indict him during the recent strikes on Iran has been massively deposited.
Voting 344-79 saw a large number of democrats join the Republicans to cancel the measure. The rupture of the vote revealed that 128 democrats rose with the 216 Republicans of the Chamber to block the resolution of Green, Politico reported.
This group included a large part of the Democratic leadership, such as the minority head of the Hakeem Jeffries Chamber and the president of the Emerita Nancy Pelosi Chamber, who expressed prudence concerning new accusation after the failure of the two previous people in his first mandate.
Conversely, 79 Democrats of the Chamber, mainly progressive of electoral districts, voted to maintain the resolution of Green alive. This contingent included important figures such as representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was vocal in his calls for dismissal after the strikes of Iran.
This development is close to the surprise air war of Israel which was launched on June 13, hitting the Iranian nuclear sites where he declared that Tehran was trying to develop an atomic bomb and to kill the best military commanders at the worst blow to the Islamic Republic since the 1980s war with Iraq.
Iran, which claims that its uranium enrichment program is for peaceful purposes and denies trying to build nuclear weapons, retaliated with a series of missile dams on Israeli cities.
This escalation in regional tensions also experienced an American military intervention after Trump, on June 21, ordered strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran – Fordow, Natanz and, Isfahan – before the authorization exercised by the Congress for the use of military force.
Earlier Tuesday, Iran and Israel pointed out that the air war between the two nations had concluded, at least for the moment, after Trump had groaned them to have violated a cease-fire which he announced at 0500 GMT.
This prompted Green to force a rapid vote on his five -page measure, which argued that Trump “was not taken into account the doctrine of the separation of powers by usurping the power of the Congress to declare war”.
This decision was greeted by many Democrats in the Chamber.
The legislators explained that the vote was “premature” and “unnecessary”, describing it as a “completely unwanted and selfish decision” which put them in a difficult political position, Axios reported.
Several Democrats have expressed their frustration, declaring that there was “a lot” of anger about the vote and that “most people think it’s useless”. They highlighted the challenge of balance the requirements of basic activists who accusing the broader and more moderate electorate. “”
It puts people in a difficult situation, “commented a democrat in the room, while another has smoked”, there are many other things on which we should focus at the moment. “”
Concerns have also been raised concerning the legal and strategic merits of the resolution of Green.
Some legislators argued that the measure was low, even more than an attempt to put the Shri Thanedar representative before last month due to a fierce flame.
“What a message to China and Russia – after taking military measures, we are trying to remove the president,” said representative Jared Moskowitz.
Another democrat questioned the potential of the courts to maintain dismissal, noting the “fiercely disputed” nature of the powers of the constitutional war.
Despite general criticism of his own party, said the Green representative Axios He had “no one sparkling the regret” at the idea of forcing the vote, claiming that it was a question of “conscience”.
Green stressed his conviction that “no one should have the power to take more than 300 million people in war without consulting the congress”.
