IRATE Democrats have moved to impeach President Donald Trump again – just two weeks into his second term.

The move comes after bitter lawmakers got into a shouting match earlier on Wednesday over Elon Musk and demanded he be subpoenaed over his drastic overhaul of the US government.

Democratic Representative Al Green of Texas called for Trump to be impeached over “ethnic cleansing in Gaza” in a furious rant on the House floor.

“The movement to impeach the president has begun,” Green said on the US House floor.

“I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.”

Green’s move comes after Trump said at a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday that the US wants to “take over” the Gaza Strip.

The Texas Democrat said he “laid the foundation for impeachment” for Trump before and will be doing it again.

Green was one of the lawmakers who brought on Trump’s first impeachment in 2017.

Trump was impeached twice during his first term but was acquitted on all counts.

After the meeting, Vice President JD Vance scoffed at the enraged Democrats’ desperate attempt to regain control.

“I see Democrats are busy doing the people’s business,” he said on X.

DEMS BLAST MUSK

Just before Green’s outburst, Democrats got into a heated shouting match over Musk and demanded he be subpoenaed at a congressional oversight hearing on government efficiency.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill spiraled into a war over Musk’s work as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency and the axing and defunding of several federal agencies.

Chairman James Comer opened the hearing with a vow to identify fraud and abuse in the federal government.

“Real innovation is not clean and tidy. It’s necessarily disruptive and messy. But that’s exactly what Washington needs right now,” Comer said.

“This committee intends to work in partnership with DOGE. We want to reinforce its efforts and not blunt the momentum it’s generating for needed change to the federal bureaucracy.”

Congressman Gerry Connolly then introduced the motion, which would force Musk to testify in front of Congress about his work.

I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.”

Connolly said Musk and Trump “are using a wrecking ball to systematically dismember our government piece by piece.”

“Who is this unelected billionaire that he can attempt to dismantle federal agencies, fire people, transfer them, offer them early retirement, and have sweeping changes to agencies without any congressional review, oversight, or concurrence?” he added.

Connolly is referencing Musk’s recent buyout scheme offering federal employees pay until September if they quit their jobs before the end of their month in an attempt at downsizing the federal workforce.

The congressman called Musk as a witness “given his providence and his importance.”

Comer immediately fired back that the motion was “not debatable.”

Chaos quickly erupted as Republicans scrambled to table the motion.

Democrat Representative Melanie Stansbury yelled it was “outrageous” for the motion to not even be entertained.

“Let’s have order in this country!” Stansbury cried.

“Mr. Elon Musk is out of order in dismantling this country.”

‘OUT OF ORDER’

After lawmakers shouted back and forth at each other, Republicans blocked the subpoena motion.

Stansbury later posted on X, “Out of order!? No, Elon Musk’s dismantling of the federal government is out of order.

“Why is the GOP blocking a subpoena to have him appear in front of the Oversight Committee?”

Musk fired back at Stansbury on X yesterday after she said she planned to call him out for overhauling the government with his DOGE efforts.

“Can I help you?” he wrote.

Federal workers have until Thursday to take the Trump administration’s buyout offer.
