Today, U.S. Rep. Val Demings (FL-10), a member of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, voted as a Member of the whole House for two Articles of Impeachment for President Donald Trump. Said Rep. Demings, the United States is one nation, under God, and our President takes a sacred oath to hold our national security and our elections as a public trust, not exploit them for his own gain. This president abused his power, jeopardizing our national security in an extortion scheme to cheat in the 2020 election. He continues to be an active and ongoing threat to our democracy. Today we exercised our constitutional duty to protect the constitution, uphold the rule of law, and hold the President accountable. In a government of the people, no one is above the law. Article I: Abuse Of Power President Trump solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, in the 2020 United States Presidential election. In so doing, President Trump used the powers of the Presidency in a manner that compromised the national security of the United States and undermined the integrity of the United States democratic process. President Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. Article II: Obstruction Of Congress The House of Representatives has engaged in an impeachment inquiry focused on President Trump's corrupt solicitation of the Government of Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 United States Presidential election. In the history of the Republic, no President has ever ordered the complete defiance of an impeachment inquiry or sought to obstruct and impede so comprehensively the ability of the House of Representatives to investigate high Crimes and Misdemeanors. This abuse of office served to cover up the President's own repeated misconduct and to seize and control the power of impeachment and thus to nullify a vital constitutional safeguard. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Demings gave an opening statement, remarks throughout, and was the final speaker of the debate. On the Floor of the whole House, Rep. Demings gave final remarks this evening. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
