Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota, posted on Twitter that she is assembling documentation to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump hours after violent Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
“I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment,” she wrote in a tweet. “Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate. We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.”
A mob descended on the Capitol on Wednesday after a speech by the president in which he vowed to “never concede.” The Capitol went into lockdown with lawmakers inside as Trump supporters violently clashed with police.
President-elect Joe Biden called it an “insurrection.”
“Our democracy is under unprecedented assault,” said Biden, who is scheduled to be inaugurated in two weeks. “This is not dissent or disorder. It is chaos that borders on sedition.”
Trump was impeached once already by the House of Representatives in December 2019. The Republican-majority Senate voted to acquit him in February 2020. As Trump supporters stormed the Capitol Wednesday afternoon, Jon Ossoff was declared the winner of his Georgia runoff race, placing control of the Senate back in the hands of the Democrats.

Too late, mine enemy. Don’t you have a cousin, or brother to marry?
I’m drawing up plans too....

There were no negatives to the first Impeachment, because the RINOs didn’t call uncomfortable witnesses or even use the name of the Fake whistleblower.
This was no opposition party for four years in the Senate.

We are watching the roaches scurry .
May God bring his judgement down on her and what she plans for Trump happen to her .
Exactly- the spineless cowards in the GOP wouldn’t even use the whistleblower’s name because the left barked orders not to-
If they impeach and convict, he can’t run again...
“Our democracy is under unprecedented assault,” said Biden
I agree.
Democracy means the people and or their representatives decide.
Dictatorship means an individual or 2 decides.
Did the legislatures, and the people’s representatives decide? Or did 1 or 2 people decide?
She can take her papers and stick them up her muzzie a$$.
The Republican party is beyond redemption. Anyone who thinks that it can be reformed is naive.
They don’t have time to impeach!!!
This heathen witch needs to be silenced and deported.
This witch can’t even draw up a chair.
Auntie Fa is putting this doc together.
Who gave her crayons again?
“If they impeach and convict, he can’t run again...”
If he runs. They cheat. No big deal.
RE: If they impeach and convict, he can’t run again...
Is that in the constitution?
Cicilline beat you to the punch.
RE: They don’t have time to impeach!!!
If they rush, they can probably do it. Removal is another thing as it has to go to the senate.
Here are the steps:
* Draw Articles of Impeachment. I think they already have this ready
* A majority vote in the House is needed to impeach. They can do it in a day. Democrats still hold the majority in the house.
* If the House impeaches the president, the Senate holds a trial. Mitch can delay or he can do it immediately.
This trial can be done in 5 days. Especially with those who hate Trump.
* After the trial, the Senate votes.
They have to find 17 Republicans who will agree to side with ALL the Democrat Senators.
So yes, if they rush and are inclined to do so, they can do it in 12 days.
