He said in his 30 November speech: “I refuse to stand idly by as a billionaire bigot does irreparable harm to my country. A billionaire bigot who tolerates the KKK, but won’t tolerate Islam. A billionaire bigot who tolerates anti-Semitism, racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, xenophobia and homophobia.”
Mr Green introduced a “privileged” bill on the House floor, meaning it requires action from other members within two legislative days.
Experts have said the bill is likely to fail given the Republican majority in the lower chamber, but there are also several Democrats who have said the chaos of a premature impeachment would signal to the country an unwillingness to pursue bipartisan solutions.
In October Mr Green said the articles of impeachment were, in his estimation, Mr Trump’s "fuelling an alt-right hate machine,” in reference to Mr Trump’s comments about the violent protests inAugust in Charlottesville, Virginia.
