WASHINGTON — The House voted Tuesday to block an impeachment resolution aimed at President Donald Trump over his immigration enforcement policies, but the margin exposed a sharper divide among Democrats than an earlier effort. The 232-147 vote tabled the measure introduced by Rep. Al Green, a Texas Democrat. Republicans voted unanimously to set it aside, joined by 18 Democrats. Another 46 Democrats voted present, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar of California. The result marked a significant shift from a June 2025 vote on a separate Green impeachment resolution. In that vote, 128 Democrats joined 216 Republicans to kill the measure. This time, only a small group of Democrats backed tabling the resolution, while many declined to take a position against it. The split came despite Democratic leaders’ warning that impeachment would distract from the party’s priorities before the November midterm elections. In a statement Monday, Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar said impeachment is a “sacred constitutional vehicle” that generally should follow a comprehensive investigation — a process they said had not occurred. Aguilar also argued before the vote that impeachment was not central to the House Democratic agenda, saying the issue was often amplified by right-wing media rather than driven by the party’s priorities. Still, the vote suggests that many Democrats are unwilling to dismiss scrutiny of Trump’s conduct outright. The party has faced pressure from members and progressive activists to use congressional oversight more aggressively, particularly over the administration’s immigration policies and other executive actions. The House previously impeached Trump twice during his first term, when Democrats controlled the chamber. The Republican-led Senate acquitted him in both cases. Tuesday’s proceedings unfolded amid another impeachment effort in the House. Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican and Trump critic, introduced articles targeting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over issues including the war in Iran, military strikes in the Caribbean and alleged efforts to suppress speech by members of the armed forces. That resolution is expected to force a separate House vote this week, though it is unlikely to advance in the Republican-controlled chamber. Massie’s action created an unusual political challenge for Democrats. Some Democrats have said they would consider impeaching Hegseth if they win control of the House, but they also have argued that such a step should follow committee investigations and documented findings. Together, the two impeachment efforts underscored the political tensions confronting Congress less than two months before the midterms. Democratic leaders sought to keep the focus on issues they view as more consequential to voters, while rank-and-file lawmakers demonstrated a greater willingness to leave impeachment options open.
