Exclusive: Rep. Al Green on Filing Impeachment Against the Odds

“Even with Republicans in control, I had to act.” Rep. Al Green explains why he filed for impeachment anyway.

In this powerful and candid interview, Rep. Al Green speaks exclusively with The Capitol Hill Show about his bold decision to file articles of impeachment against the president—despite the odds. Green outlines the constitutional and moral principles behind his move, emphasizing that political odds should never outweigh the duty to uphold accountability and the rule of law.

He walks us through the reasoning, the stakes, and the backlash he expects to face, but insists that taking action is about more than numbers—it’s about integrity. Green also reflects on the long-term impact of unchecked executive power, and what message this action sends to the American people.

Whether or not the measure succeeds procedurally, Green believes the effort is necessary to preserve the credibility of the legislative branch. This is a rare behind-the-scenes look at a lawmaker standing firm in the face of opposition.
