India-born Democrat leader Shri Thanedar , who represents Michigan's 13th Congressional District, announced on Monday that he had introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. This comes just a day before President Trump is expected to hold a rally in Macomb County to mark his first 100 days in office.
"Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy," said Rep. Thanedar in a statement. "His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service. We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act."
“This is not about partisanship. It’s about protecting our democracy and ensuring that no one, not even a President, is above the law,” Thanedar said in a statement.
