*U.S. Rep. Al Green on Wednesday delivered his second formal call for Donald Trump’s impeachment, promising a vote would hit the House floor sometime before
Dec. 25, 2017.
“Before Christmas, there will be a vote on the chief inciter of racism, bigotry, hatred, xenophobia, sexism, ethnocentrism,” Green pledged, banging his fist on the podium.

Green emphasized the importance of constituents expressing their views to elected officials in the meantime.
“Momentum is building,” he said several times. “People should weigh in.”
