Madeleine Dean (PA-04) voted for H.Res. 755, Articles of Impeachment Against President Donald J. Trump. The two articles were introduced by the House Judiciary Committee, of which Rep. Dean is a member.\n\n\u201cThe facts are uncontested,\u201d said Rep. Dean. \u201cPresident Trump withheld essential military aid to Ukraine \u2013 a democratic ally under siege from Russia \u2013 in exchange for help with his 2020 re-election. Then, when he was caught, President Trump refused to cooperate with Congress\u2019s Constitutionally-manded oversight, effectively declaring himself above the law.\u201d\n\n\u201cToday\u2019s articles of impeachment address the President\u2019s misconduct \u2013 both his abuse of power and his subsequent obstruction of Congress,\u201d Rep. Dean continued. \u201cToday is not about punishment or hate. It is about love. Love of country. It\u2019s about protecting this country and our precious Constitution for all the Americans yet to come. No one wishes to be where we are today \u2013 but this is where we are called to be,\u201d Rep. Dean stressed.\n\n\u201cOur democracy is rooted in the principle that no one is above the law, and today, we are called upon to defend that principle. We depend on our Constitution \u2013 and it depends on us,\u201d Rep. Dean concluded.\n\nRep. Dean\u2019s full opening remarks can be found here.\n\nRep. Madeleine Dean is a mother, grandmother, attorney, professor, former four-term member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, and U.S. Representative for the Fourth District of Pennsylvania.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-06-27T23:45:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://dean.house.gov/2019/12/rep-dean-votes-articles-impeachment"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.198881771415472, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
