Rep. Omar also echoed Tlaib’s sentiments, tweeting a “call to action” for “#ImpeachmentInquiryNow.”
"If we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a
crime, we would have said so… The Constitution requires a process
other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting
President of wrongdoing.”This is a call to action. #ImpeachmentInquiryNow

Pressure to Impeach
As House Democrats proceed with calls to impeach Trump, Pelosi is facing a notable amount of pressure. The House Speaker has addressed impeachment on multiple occasions and furthermore provided various stances.
Initially, Pelosi asserted that impeachment isn’t in the cards at this time. Later, Pelosi then claimed that President Trump is “goading” Democrats to impeach him; apparently, the House Speaker believes that Trump thinks impeachment will solidify his popularity amongst his base.
Presently, Pelosi’s stance on impeachment is about building a case. In the words of the House Speaker, she wants a “compelling case” which is so moving that “even the Republican Senate, which at the time seems to be not an objective jury, will be convinced.”
