EastbayTimes – The city of Alameda will consider a resolution Tuesday calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump over his alleged interactions with Russian officials and business dealings.
Last month, the city of Richmond unanimously backed a similar resolution, which activists say made it the first city in the nation to support steps that could lead to Trump’s impeachment.
“Our motivation is to absolutely preserve our democracy,” said Katie Cameron of Alameda4Impeachment, a group of residents who are spearheading the effort.
The City Council will take up the issue on Tuesday.
Cameron noted that an impeachment would not necessarily mean Trump’s removal from office. But it would allow legislatures to lay out formal charges, which can then be reviewed in a public hearing, she said.
