Trump | 2019-12-18 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Democrat | House | FL | Debbie Mucarsel-Powell | M001207 | mucarsel-powell.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. Today,Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powellvoted in favor of H.Res 755, Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. The Congresswoman issued the following statement on the House floor during the debate of the resolution: I did not have the privilege of being born into this country. My mother brought me here from Ecuador for freedom and opportunity. This is not just my story. It is the story of so many people in Florida's 26th congressional district and across the country. As immigrants, we have experienced corruption in our countries of birth, where brutal dictatorships have choked their potential to benefit those in power. But this President elected by the American people violated his oath of office and the rule of law. The evidence is overwhelming that he withheld military aid approved by Congress and leveraged a White House meeting to extract a political favor from a foreign government, only releasing the aid when he was caught. The President actively sought election interference to benefit himself. It's undeniable that he has abused his power and obstructed Congress. He presents a clear and present danger to the future of our democracy. We, in Congress, must abide by our oath to defend our Constitution. That is my duty as a member of this body and that is my duty as a mother. It is because of these reasons that today I voted in favor of both articles of impeachment.
