The facts are conclusive, the President attempted to use the power of his office to force Ukraine to influence our 2020 election, said Congresswoman Lawrence. In the process, President Trump jeopardized our national security and withheld vital military assistance intended to prevent further Russian aggression in the region, added the Congresswoman. As a career public servant, Congresswoman Lawrence did not come to Congress to impeach a president but to assist the residents of Michigan's 14th District. It has been her goal to improve the lives and well-being of her constituents. While the impeachment investigations have been ongoing, House Democrats have passed monumental legislation that addresses the gun violence epidemic, lower prescription drug and health care costs, protects the environment and ensures access to voting rights for all Americans. However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has refused to bring any of this legislation to the senate floor for a vote. Two hundred years ago, the Framers gathered at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia to chart a path forward for the newly-independent United States. After decades of rule under a monarchy, George Mason expressed concern about the possibility the new government would give an elected President too much power. After fierce debate, Mason asked two questions: Shall any man be above justice? Shall that man be above it who can commit the most extensive injustice? The answer, no, No one, including the President, is above the law. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
