The House voted 332-95 to table a resolution from Green to impeach Trump for inflaming racial tensions, most recently after suggesting that four progressive congresswomen of color "go back" to their countries.
A total of 137 Democrats voted with Republicans to table the resolution, while Rep.

But 95 Democrats voted in favor of Green's effort.
Green’s resolution states that Trump has “brought the high office of the president of the United States in contempt, ridicule, disgrace and disrepute” and “has sown discord among the people of the United States.”
Wednesday marked the third time Green forced an impeachment vote on the House floor, though it was his first under Democratic leadership.
In December 2017, 58 Democrats voted in favor of Green's impeachment measure, while 66 supported his January 2018 effort.
