'Later on this month, I will be joining folks and advocates across the country to file the impeachment resolution to start the impeachment proceedings,' Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., said at a news conference.
A Democratic congresswoman who sparked outrage earlier this year with a profanity-laced vow to impeach President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that she intends to file the necessary paperwork in March.
"This is an emergency for many of us," Tlaib said Wednesday."We cannot allow the pay-to-play to continue. We cannot allow the direct violation of the Emoluments Clause. Anybody else would already be in impeachment proceedings." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who shepherded the party through the November midterms with a strategy that largely avoided direct mentions of the president, has also been wary of pushing ahead with impeachment talk. In an interview with the Rolling Stone published last month, Pelosi noted that impeachment could be"disruptive."
"I think every single colleague of mine agrees there is impeachable offenses, that's one thing that we all agree on," she said. Most Americans do not support impeachment, though nearly two-thirds of Democrats are in favor, polls show. In a Quinnipiac University poll released on Tuesday, 59 percent of American voters said Congress should not begin impeachment proceedings.
