John Katko Regarding Impeachment | 2019-12-19 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Republican | House | NY | John Katko | K000386 | katko.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Rep. John Katko (NY-24)today released the following statement: Today marks an extraordinarily divisive moment in our nation's history.I have always taken my commitment to bipartisanship and independence seriously. I have not been shy about breaking with the President on major policy issues. But,our founding fathers designed impeachment to be used only in extreme cases, and set a high bar to ensure this process was not abused, or used in a partisan manner. The President's behavior was wrong, but the evidence presented does not meet the high bar articulated for impeachment. I voted against the measure before the House this evening." For the past several months, impeachment has divided our nation and sidetracked this Congress from accomplishing meaningful work. With this process behind us, we must address the issues that have been neglected: growing our economy and passing a trade deal with Canada and Mexico, bolstering cybersecurity, giving attention to the opioid and mental health crises in our community, and addressing high water levels. It is far past time to get to work. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
