President Trump’s run without the threat of impeachment hanging over him has officially ended. 

Rep. Al Green, Texas Democrat, plans to revive his push to impeach Mr. Trump, announcing Wednesday on the House floor that he’ll propose articles of impeachment. In a Congress run by Republicans, the attempt will likely be buried. 

Mr. Green was spurred to again force the impeachment issue following the president’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday and his proclamation that the U.S. would “take over” Gaza. 

“The movement to impeach the president has begun,” Mr. Green said. “I rise to announce that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.”

Mr. Trump is no stranger to impeachment, particularly when the issue is forced by Mr. Green. Indeed, the lawmaker was the first to force an impeachment-related vote on the House floor in 2017.

What followed were a series of impeachment pushes against Mr. Trump that culminated in him becoming the first president to be impeached twice. The first was for efforts to withhold security assistance money from Ukraine in 2019, and the second for the events surrounding the 2020 election and the proceeding riots at the U.S. Capitol.

Democrats had largely left the issue of impeachment until Mr. Green’s move to bring it back. Much of their focus has been on finding their footing in a Trump-dominated Washington and working to find a point of unity after being defeated at the ballot box in November. 

While Democrats are finding unifying points of attack against Mr. Trump, like his budget office’s move to freeze federal loans and grants or going after tech billionaire Elon Musk’s crusade to slash the budget, none have floated impeachment until now. 

Mr. Green contended that his new movement to impeach the president would be from the grassroots, “not the top down.” 

“I did it before, I laid the foundation for impeachment, and it was done,” he said. “Nobody knows more about it than I.”
