“We do not have kings. We have presidents and there is a reason why. The activities of this president are unconstitutional and he has no regard for democracy,” Thanedar said.
The articles of impeachment introduced Thanedar are not expected to move forward in the House of Representatives which is controlled Trump-led Republicans, but the Michigan Congressman says he would continue to contact his colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
“I felt that I could not stand and watch all this thing in silence. I needed to stand up and make a case, and that’s what I did,” Thanedar said.
Trump held a rally on Tuesday in Michigan on completing first 100 days in office for his second tenure.
