CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-WASHINGTON, D.C.-Led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Democrats this week announced two articles of impeachment against Republican President Donald Trump, the outspoken president accused of obstruction of Congress and abuse of power via a Ukraine scandal that raises questions about foreign policy corruption by U.S. officials and security of presidential elections from foreign influences.
And the NAACP wants the president impeached as well as 85 percent of Black people, according to an NBC News- Wall Street Journal poll taken last month, the poll also showing that some 57 percent of Hispanics want the president impeached while only 41 percent of Whites favor impeachment.
In comparison, a CNN poll says that 61 percent of women want the president impeached.

“The pattern of President Trump’s misconduct is unmistakable and has proven time and time again, that he is unfit to serve as the president of this country," said Derrick Johnson, national president and CEO of the NAACP.
The fourth president in American history to face an impeachment inquiry, one heightened by the upcoming 2020 election, Trump and his fellow Republicans, notwithstanding Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, are in political trouble at best, and the media that the president so despises are having a field day.
By next week members of the House Judiciary Committee, after weeks of both public and private testimony across several House committees are expected to vote on the two impeachment articles as the president and congressional Republicans continue to cry foul.
The House must pass by a simple majority of those present and voting, the articles of impeachment in order for the Senate to move forward with trying the accused president, which is not a criminal trial, the only penalty for the president if he is impeached being removal from office.
At issue is the president's alleged efforts to manipulate Ukraine leaders into digging up dirt on former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, Biden the Democratic front-runner for president.
The president says he did not tell Ukraine leaders that the U.S. would withhold some $400 million in aid to Ukraine unless Hunter Biden were investigated regarding hundreds of thousands of dollars he received for work at Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings.
Neither the former vice president nor his son has been accused of any criminal wrongdoing in the matter.
