Congressmen introduce Article of Impeachment against President Trump

Two U.S. Congressmen have introduced an Article of Impeachment against President Donald Trump for obstruction of justice.

Reps. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) and Al Green (D-Texas) announced the article Wednesday afternoon.

Sherman said he believes Trump's conversations with and firing of former FBI Director James Comey constitute obstruction of justice.

"I am pleased that Congressman Al Green (D-TX) has joined me in filing Articles of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump," Sherman said in a release. "We now begin the effort to force the House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on Obstruction of Justice and Russian interference in our election."

Unfortunately, their action is merely symbolic. Since Ryan runs the House, it won't go anywhere without Republican support.
