Midterm elections win for Democrats, impeachment for Trump
On the first Tuesday in November, the United States will hold its midterm elections, and by Wednesday, President Donald Trump could be facing his third impeachment.
If the Democrats win control of the House of Representatives, their leader has said they would not rule out pursuing impeachment on day one, which is what many anti-Trump Americans are hoping for.
Because it's necessary for everybody; we’re all affected by it, not just Americans.
All over the world, we're being affected by his insane policies, his horrible actions, his lack of caring, his lies.
He should have been out of the Oval Office years ago.

He's only there because he wants to avoid jail.
He's there for himself.
And we need to have a person who thinks of the greater good, not themselves.

United States Representative Al Green has already formally filed impeachment charges in the House over Trump's violation of the War Powers Act of 1973 by going to war without approval from Congress.
However, he's not getting many Democrats to support his efforts.
Impeachment is not predicated upon having a certain number of people in Congress or a certain number of people to vote for.
The rules allow any member of Congress to bring articles before the House.
And what is interesting, the Democrats who may criticize me are not going to say or they're not going to deny that the president has committed impeachable offenses.
So if you won't deny that he's committing impeachable offenses, then you should honor your oath of office and vote to impeach.

Others have called for Trump's impeachment over his genocidal threat to wipe out the whole Iranian civilization, for ordering many war crimes, such as the Minab Girls School massacre, for attacking protected civilian infrastructure, for indiscriminate attacks on civilian neighborhoods, and more.
The Democrats are expected to retake the House, where only a majority is needed to impeach.
But even if they also flip the Senate, they are not going to be close to gaining the 67-vote supermajority which is required to actually convict a president.
That means any impeachment of Trump will likely remain only symbolic once again.
Other top lawmakers have demanded Trump's impeachment over his daily fascistic persecution of Latino Americans and other immigrants, his economic support for tariffs, and his remodeling of the East Wing of the White House.
