His impeachment will act as a unifying rallying cry for his supporters

[alpacinou]

Hello to all and happy new year.

Is it correct to say an "action" becomes a "unifying rallying cry" for a group of people? Is this correct? :

His impeachment will act as a unifying rallying cry for his supporters. It will be used to mobilize his supporters.

I would say:

His impeachment will act as a unifying rallying cry for his supporters. It will be used to mobilize them.

Two things. One, I would use is there, not becomes. Two, since you are not really quoting anything there is no need for the quote marks.

Where does the word "becomes" appear?

On second thought, I guess you could use "becomes" or a variation of it under the right circumstances.
