McEachin | M001200 | mceachin.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. - Congressman A. Donald McEachin (VA-04) released the following statement following his vote to impeach President Donald J. Trump. Today is a somber day in our nation's history, said Congressman McEachin. I am saddened that the president's actions and disregard for our Constitution has led us to this place and time. However, I take very seriously my oath and sacred obligation to uphold the Constitution, and to hold the president accountable for his actions. The president has violated his oath of office and with his actions, demonstrated complete disregard and disdain for our Constitution. President Trump abused the power of his office to solicit foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election for personal and political gain, and by doing so, risked the national security of the United States. Then, when faced by a legitimate Congressional inquiry into his actions, President Trump chose to stonewall that inquiry, refuse to cooperate, and instead, mock its legitimacy. If we value our democracy and our Constitution, then we cannot ignore nor justify President Trump's actions. I came to Congress to make a difference for my constituents and to improve their lives. I did not come to impeach a president. Today's decision is not just about holding this president accountable for his abuses of power; it is about restoring integrity and honor to the office of the presidency, and ensuring that any future president, regardless of political party, is held to the standard every American expects and deserves. Thus, I cast my vote to impeach President Trump. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
