Sherman Introduces Article of Impeachment

Well, he did it. Rep. Brad Sherman (I reside in his district) introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump against the wishes of his own party's house leadership.

According to The Hill:

Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) formally introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump on Wednesday that accuses the president of obstructing justice during the federal investigation of Russia’s 2016 election interference.

This is the first time a lawmaker has offered an impeachment article against Trump, and comes as Democrats have debated whether it is politically wise to press the case for impeachment at this time.

A majority vote in the House, currently controlled by Republicans, is required to impeach a president. Republicans have a 46-seat advantage. 

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders slammed the move.
“I think that is utterly and completely ridiculous and a political game at its worst," she told reporters Wednesday at an off-camera briefing.

To date, Sherman has not accomplished much of anything of note for his district. Now he will be known as the imbecile who introduced an article of impeachment and who physically assaulted a primary opponent at a debate (Rep. Howard Berman).
