Wild Statement on Voting for Articles of Impeachment | 2019-12-18 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Democrat | House | PA | Susan Wild | W000826 | wild.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON Today, U.S. Representative Susan Wild (PA-07) released the following statement after casting her vote in favor of the articles of impeachment brought against the President of the United States: Today, I took a vote I never wanted to take a vote to impeach the President of the United States. My votes were grounded in fact and law, in accordance with the Constitution and my conscience. I voted to impeach the President of the United States for abusing the power of his office in leveraging foreign aid to a vital ally in exchange for foreign interference in our elections. I then cast a second vote to impeach the President for his obstruction of Congress because the separation of powers is vital to the system of checks and balances at the heart of our democracy. The future of our Republic is at stake: Failure to condemn the solicitation of foreign influence in our elections would have set a dangerous precedent. Failure to condemn the blanket obstruction of a coequal branch of government would have set an equally dangerous precedent. My votes were based in law and our Constitution they were, unfortunately, made necessary by the President's conduct. Now that we have taken this vote, we must continue the work that the American people elected us to do. I look forward to advancing that work alongside my colleagues Republicans and Democrats alike so that we can improve the everyday lives of the people of my community. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
