A second House Democrat called for President Donald Trump to be impeached, and he's even come up with a "mantra" to push the cause.

Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, released a statement on Monday declaring Trump should be charged by the House over his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey as well as his recent tweet that suggested the president recorded his conversations with Comey.

Green said that by firing Comey, Trump is obstructing the investigation "of the president's campaign ties to Russian influence in his 2016 presidential election." He said Trump has committed acts that "amount to intimidation and obstruction."

Green said Democrats can succeed at pressuring the GOP-led House to take up impeachment proceedings if the public joins in. "Our mantra should be "I.T.N. Impeach Trump Now," Green wrote.

Green appears eager to spread the word about his proposal. His statement includes a line in red encouraging the recipient to "forward this email to others who may be interested."

Green is not the first Democrat to call for impeachment. Rep. Maxine Waters, of California declared on Twitter in April that she would "fight every day until he's impeached," although she later denied calling for Trump's impeachment.

The House has impeached two presidents; Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998.
