The Representative for the District of Columbia, Oye Owolewa, has requested that the United States Congress initiate an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

Owolewa said American lawmakers should begin the US president’s impeachment following a missile launch on Iran on Saturday.

In a press release on Monday, the Nigerian-born politician described Trump’s decision to attack Iran as an “unconstitutional act of war.”

The Washington DC democratic representative criticised the American government for failing to sponsor free college education but could fund war.

 Owolewa said, “President Donald Trump carried out an unconstitutional act of War yesterday without Congressional approval. For this reason, Congress must launch an impeachment inquiry.

“We, Americans, have been lied to for the past couple of decades. We have been told that the United States couldn’t afford free college education or student loan forgiveness.

“Yet somehow, we are able to afford a war that would cost more than these initiatives combined. Instead of positively impacting American lives with popular investments, President Trump has served the military industrial complex and special interests by pushing the United States to the brink of a World War.”
