(Annabella Rosciglione\/ Washington Examiner)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Texas Democrat was joined in his effort by political activists from the Women&rsquo;s March and Free Speech For People. The activists delivered a petition to Rep. Jamie Raskin&rsquo;s (D-MD) staff with what they said was 1 million signatures from people demanding impeachment.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, was one of the Democratic leaders in the impeachment charges against Trump in his first term.&nbsp;He voted against Green&rsquo;s effort last month.<\/p>\n<p>Green&rsquo;s previous push focused on Trump&rsquo;s military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, which he called &ldquo;illegal and unconstitutional.&rdquo; The petition Wednesday referenced 19 articles of impeachment against Trump, including against his mobilization of military forces against civilian protesters in Los Angeles, his executive order aiming to end the constitutional right to birthright citizenship, and receiving foreign and domestic emoluments in his acceptance of a Qatari jet.<\/p>\n<p>The House is beginning its August recess early, starting later Wednesday evening. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) released members a day earlier than planned in an effort to curb GOP anger about the Trump administration&rsquo;s refusal to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-announces-kennedy-assassination-files-will-be-released-tuesday-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"... announces Kennedy assassination files will be released Tuesday ...

It really is that simple,&rdquo; Green noted.<\/p>\n<p>High-ranking Democrats have expressed dissatisfaction with Green&rsquo;s moves to impeach Trump.
