Dem bounced from speech reveals when he'll announce articles of impeachment against Trump

WASHINGTON — Rep. Al Green (D-TX) was removed from the State of the Union Address after shouting back at President Donald Trump during the address.

While the House considers pursuing a censure against him, Green is preparing his articles of impeachment for Trump.

Green told Raw Story that Trump has only grown more dangerous after the Supreme Court granted him broad immunity from prosecution for official presidential acts.

"He believes he has absolute immunity in all areas," said Green. "And I think that he believes that the Office of the Presidency is something that allows him to do what he chooses with agencies that report to the Executive branch."

"And I think he believes he can flout or defy court orders if he chooses to. I don't think he's done it to the extent that he desires to yet, but he's working his way there," Green cautioned. "And the minute he does that, then he will become a dictator and articles of impeachment are most appropriate."

Raw Story asked if it's a constitutional crisis, and Green replied that "we're on the cusp of having a dictator if the president decides he's not going to — the only thing left is for him to say [is] 'I'm not going to honor the court.'"

Green, a long-time lawyer, said that the idea of ignoring judicial review is "unsettling."

Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 states that Congress is constitutionally tasked with funding government operations that the executive branch oversees. Green argued that giving up these powers and handing them to Trump to act on through executive orders would be a significant acquiescence of power.

"We are the legislative branch and we should not allow our constitutional authority to be usurped by the executive. I respect the executive branch. The executive branch should respect the legislative branch," Green said.

He said that when there are conflicts between them, the courts step in. "We all have to respect the courts, even if we disagree with them."

"We will have the rule of one man once he decides he's not going to respect court orders," Green added. "He's marching in that direction."
