Washington, D.C. Congressman Anthony G. Brown, Vice Chair of the House Armed Services Committee,delivered remarks on the Floor of the House of Representatives in support of two articles of impeachment against the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Below are the Congressman's remarks: "Mr. Chairman, when I was commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Army, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution." I have done so 13 times during my 35 years of public service. That oath means everything. To serve and fight for our country. To protect and promote our values. Yet, President Trump betrayed his oath. He abused his power - the immense power of the presidency. He threatened our elections, by inviting foreign interference. He chose investigating a political rival, over defending our national security. So today, we must use our power - the extraordinary power, endowed by the Constitution and entrusted by the people. The power to impeach.We must hold President Trump accountable, or else we will be complicit in undermining our democracy, our security and our dignity. His conduct demonstrates his unfitness to serve as commander-in-chief, and warrants removal from office. The oath I took as a Member of Congress, is the same I took as a soldier. An oath that reminds me, values matter, that duty, honor and the rule of law matter.To keep my oath to the people I serve and the country I love, today I will vote to impeach President Donald Trump." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
