Hyperpartisan Impeachment News Today

Elections are the heart of our democracy. Our Founding Fathers devised a simple way to remove a president if you disagree with him. Its called an election. And we have one coming up in less than a year. Lets let the people decide this next november and i yield back. Gentleman yields back. Gentleman from new york. Madam speaker, i now yield one minute to the gentle lady from michigan. Gentle lady is recognized for one minute. Thank you. I rise today in support of impeachment. I learned so much ev...

Presidency would stretch beyond its limits. thus, they enshrined in the constitution, a system of checks and balances. we cannot and will not lower the ethical standards of our presidency. we cannot afford to wither like a cheap flower in bad weather watching our democracy crumble and rot from within. that is not the america the world knows and loves. and its certainly not the america we would be proud to have our future generations inherit. and that is why today i must vote to impeach the presi...

Confidence are not included in our constitution for a reason. our system demands evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors. if such evidence existed, there would be an agreement in this chamber. but there is not. there is not an agreement because there is not evidence. madison and hamilton warned us this might happen. that impeachment would veer toward political factions and thats exactly what this is. this is bitterly and nakedly partisan. my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have made a...

Without hesitation, to impeach a democratic president who had done these things. i remind all americans the president did not rebut the many, many facts which have led to the articles of impeachment today. for the sake of our democracy, our constitution, and our country, we must do the right thing and vote to impeach president trump. i yield back. >> gentleman yields back. gentleman from georgia. >> thank you, madam speaker. i was just amazed by what the chairman just said. why didnt we add it a...

That has occurred in the peoples house. some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle do not like president trump. we know this because they proudly boasted about their intention to impeach our president before he was even sworn into office. out of disdain for the president and for those of us who elected him, the house of representatives is considering two articles of impeachment that are so very weak that they even fail to include specific crimes. the people that i represent in south ce...

Debated today. but today, we have seen a rushed process divide our country. today, accusations have been hurled at each other. questioning one anothers integrity. today, a dangerous precedent will be set. impeachment becoming a weaponized political tool. we know how this partisan process will end this evening. but what happens tomorrow? can this chamber put down our swords and get back to work for the american people? this institution has a fabled history of passing legislation that has not only...

Democrats are not supporting impeachment based on a policy disagreement or the election results of 2016. no one is above the law. the president must be held accountable. a constitutional process is not a hoax or witch hunt. president trump just opposes it. no one is above the law. not even president donald j. trump. the president abused his power. by pressuring ukraine to help his re-election campaign. impeachment is a constitutional remedy for these actions. trump betrayed his oath, betrayed th...

Indirect accounts. the articles of impeachment we are voting on today offer no evidence of a crime. but instead, are purposely broad to fit the majoritys narrative. less than one year until the next presidential election, we are being asked to override the choice of the american people. this lopsided process has been predetermined as an outcome from the very beginning. this is an unfortunate day in the history of our great country. we must hope this political game does not set a precedent of whi...

Debunked the facts many times. lets do it one more time. no pressure mr. trump or mr. zelensky. what really just horrifies me is the continuation to say mr. zelensky, who is supposedly a victim here, had said many times there is no pressure. he is the majority of democrats are calling him a liar. thats deplorable. he has no conditionality in the transcript or after that. five meetings prove that. all high-level meetings. no conditionality. two of those meetings were after the ukrainians actually...

On that? >> gentleman yields back. gentleman from new york. >> madam speaker, i now yield one minute to the gentleman from illinois, mr. davis. >> gentlemans recognized for one minute. >> thank you, madam speaker. this is, indeed, a sad day for our country. this is, indeed, a sad day for america. but its a good day for our constitution. it is a sad day for our country because president trump has defied our constitution, our rules, our requirements, and our expectations. it is clear that presiden...
