Do you think Trump can be forced to apologize in lieu of censure?Two top House Democrats said Friday they will unveil a resolution next week to censure President Trump following reports he expressed a preference for immigrants from Norway over people from what he described as “shithole countries” like Haiti, El Salvador and African nations.
Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond (D-La.) and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, expect to formally introduce the censure resolution after the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.
The Hill
Remember, he's denied saying it. But witnesses have already confirmed it.
And yet, this is different. That was weasel-worded (fine people on both sides). This is direct and affects many other countries.Richmond and Nadler said they will ask House GOP leaders to bring up the resolution for a vote, but their efforts are unlikely to be successful. Nadler previously introduced a resolution to censure Trump when he cast equal blame on white supremacists and counterprotesters for violence in Charlottesville, Va., last August.
Yes. Do that, too.Earlier Friday, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) announced that he would force another House floor vote to impeach Trump next week in light of Trump's remarks. A vote Green forced last month failed on the floor, but 58 Democrats supported it.
There, you see? Jackson is Trump's favorite president with whom he compares himself. He'd be happy to share censure with him.The only time the Senate considered censure was for President Andrew Jackson in 1834 for moving to dismantle the Bank of the United States. The censure resolution was ultimately revoked by Jackson’s allies three years later after they gained control of the chamber.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
