Res.939. “The American people are counting on us to address the challenges created by this Administration. This President and this Republican Congress promised to make life in America more affordable — yet they have failed miserably. “It is clear that President Trump’s disregard for the Constitution and the rule of law requires that Congress reclaim its oversight duties over his administration and exercise its authority in the way our founders intended. “Impeachment calls for transparency, and a presentation of facts and evidence to the public, in order to hold any President to account for high crimes and misdemeanors. Under the current House MAGA leadership, those conditions are simply not available. “In order to hold any President to account for high crimes and misdemeanors, impeachment requires a transparent process with hearings, testimonies and investigations with the support of the majorities in the House and Senate — all conditions that are simply not available under the current Republican leadership. “Because there is no viable process for impeachment at this time, I voted present on today’s motion to table the resolution. I want to be clear: this vote does not excuse the illegal actions of this president and his administration, Congress has other avenues for accountability that we can and should be utilizing. “I am committed to upholding the rule of law, defending our Constitution and protecting democracy.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
