    The impeachment train might be getting ready to leave the station.

    Civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., in a speech on the House floor Tuesday afternoon, added his name to the list of Democrats who support an impeachment inquiry.

    "We cannot delay," Lewis said. "We must not wait. Now is the time to act. I have been patient while we tried every other path and used every other tool. We will never find the truth unless we use the power given to the House of Representatives, and the House alone, to begin an official investigation as dictated by the Constitution. The future of our democracy is at stake. I believe, I truly believe, the time to begin impeachment proceedings against this president has come. To delay or to do otherwise would betray the foundation of our democracy."
