Shalala Statement on Voting in Favor of the Impeachment of President Donald Trump Washington, December 19, 2019 | Carlos Condarco (2022253931) WASHINGTON, DC Today, Congresswoman Donna Shalala (FL-27) released the following statement: My vote for impeachment is not a matter of politics; it is a matter of protecting the integrity of our democracy for future generations. Despite unprecedented obstruction from the president, the evidence in this case is so powerful that voting against impeachment would risk the permanent erosion of our system of checks and balances. We in Congress take an oath to defend the Constitution because the framers knew that democracy is precious, but fragile. They understood that its survival depends on the strength, courage, and commitment of the people to maintain it. For over 200 years, honesty and vigilance have won out as generations of public servants have adhered to their oaths of office and met the standards of service that our democracy necessitates. Today, my colleagues and I rose to meet that standard to preserve our democracy and the future of our republic. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
