TL;DR Summary

Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas left his hospital bed to cast a tie-breaking vote in the House of Representatives, defeating the impeachment resolution against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Green, who was recovering from intestinal surgery, obtained clearance from his doctors to go to the Capitol, ultimately tipping the vote in favor of Mayorkas. Three Republicans had initially voted against impeachment, and the failed vote is expected to be revisited when there are enough Republicans present. Green emphasized Mayorkas' good character and the limitations he faces due to existing laws, expressing confidence in his recovery despite returning to the hospital after the vote.
