Full list of Democrats who sided with Republicans to block Trump impeachment articles
Nearly 130 House Democrats joined Republicans on Tuesday afternoon to overwhelmingly reject articles of impeachment introduced against President Donald Trump, following his administration’s weekend bombing of Iranian nuclear sites.
The resolution, authored by Rep. Al Green of Texas, labeled the strikes “illegal and unconstitutional.” The U.S. struck Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan facilities on Saturday, citing long-held concerns about Iran’s nuclear ambitions—despite Tehran’s insistence that its program is peaceful. Critics questioned the legality of launching such strikes without Congressional approval, prompting a bipartisan War Powers Resolution aimed at preventing unilateral military actions.
In a decisive 344–79 vote—128 Democrats joined Republicans—the resolution to table the impeachment articles passed, while only 79 supported Green’s effort.
“In starting his illegal and unconstitutional war with Iran without the constitutionally mandated consent of Congress or appropriate notice to Congress, President Trump acted in direct violation of the War Powers Clause of the Constitution,” Green’s articles declare. They add: “President Trump has devolved and continues to devolve American democracy into authoritarianism by disregarding the separation of powers and now usurping congressional war powers.”

Green, a former Houston NAACP president and civil rights attorney who first entered Congress in 2005, said he had once again been compelled to act to preserve the constitutional balance of power.
President Trump, who previously faced two impeachments and was acquitted both times by the Senate, has defended his actions. White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Newsweek, “President Trump was able to quickly accomplish what no other President has been able to achieve—thanks to his ‘peace through strength’ leadership, Iran’s nuclear program has been obliterated and a ceasefire has been agreed to. Eliminating the prospect of nuclear war is a non-partisan and unifying accomplishment that everyone should celebrate as a historic moment for the United States, the Middle East, and the entire world.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez responded forcefully on X: “The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
By contrast, GOP Rep. Mike Lawler dismissed the push: “This is absurd on its face. The United States has not declared war since 1942 and has conducted over 125 different military actions since that time… Presidents of both parties have relied on Article II authority, as well as AUMFs… and have not been subject to impeachment. In 2011, Barack Obama conducted an 8‑month campaign in Libya to topple Gaddafi.”
This failed effort to censure the president underlines deep fractures not only between parties but also within the Democratic ranks—raising sharp questions about presidential war powers and the rule of law.
