It’s not quite right to say that no one has even “started to pound the drum.” Two members have already submitted articles, but leadership and the majority have decided not to proceed.
In the 119th Congress (2025–2026):
* H.Res. 353 (Rep. Shri Thanedar) – Articles of impeachment against Trump were introduced on April 28, 2025.
* H.Res. 415 (Rep. Al Green) – Additional impeachment resolution, on May 15, 2025.
* H.Res. 537 (Green again) – Another impeachment resolution; the House voted on whether to table it and tabled it 344–79 on June 24, 2025, with a majority of Democrats joining Republicans.
Authoritarians and their backers have long served as the goon squad for so-called “democracies” whenever uppity nations decided they wanted more than just carrots—like, say, sovereignty.
Bringing to mind that cynical old joke: “Why has there never been a coup in the United States?” Answer: “Because there’s no U.S. embassy in Washington.”
Cue the United Fruit Company—where democracy went to die under the shade of a banana tree.
