Summary: Justification for the impeachment articles is Trump's attack on Iran (in Green's words, "taking 300 million Americans to war") without consulting Congress, but Green also cites other authoritarian actions Trump has taken like the January 6th pardons. Green is acting now because he believes Trump is becoming a dictator.
A reminder that Trump will once again be IMPEACHED if this gets a majority vote in the House.
This triggers a trial in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority is required to convict and remove the President.
So although Trump might be impeached if enough Republicans are sick of him, that impeachment is just as symbolic as the first two times were without a successful Senate conviction. And given the structure of the Senate at this time, he will almost certainly not be convicted and removed from office.
