Four more House Democrats have signed on to a bill to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump after his Twitter rampage against MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski.

Yahoo News reported Saturday that 25 House Democrats are now working on the bill, which has been in the works since April. The bill's primary sponsor is Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD).

The bill would create a congressional "oversight" commission that could declare the president incapacitated, leading to his removal from office under the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

After Trump's tweets on Thursday, Raskin sent out an email to colleagues urging support for his bill.

"In case of emergency, break glass," Raskin told Yahoo News. "If you look at the record of things that have happened since January, it is truly a bizarre litany of events and outbursts."

Raskin said that Trump's tweets show a pattern of instability that means he is unfit for office.

"I assume every human being is allowed one or two errant and seemingly deranged tweets," Raskin said. "The question is whether you have a sustained pattern of behavior that indicates something is seriously wrong."

The bill's supporters include former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), and ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee Jon Conyers (D-MI).

Raskin concluded by warning that Trump's instability in the White House was only going to get worse.

"The question is, where are we going to be six months, 12 months, 18 months from now?" Raskin asked.

"The presidency is considered extremely stressful for people with the strongest mental health. We need to be prepared for all eventualities."


Poster Comment:

The Democrat Party should officially change its name to the Communist and Misfits Party.

Americans are disgusted with the dems' irrational behavior. Dems just lost five out of five special elections and they continue with their irrational behavior that turned off most Americans. 2018 will be another devastating and embarrassing election for these disgraceful dems.

They must feel very confident that they'll hold on to those seats.

Demoncrap the party of the batshit crazies! ;)

If Obama did not get impeached no president from here on will ever get impeached. What does a president have to do to get impeached anymore? Murder someone that is caught on video and video is posted so many times that the ptb can't hide them all?
