'WE MUST IMPEACH THIS PRESIDENT' says Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) - Impeachment markup day 1

House Democrats on Tuesday introduced two articles of impeachment against President Trump alleging abuse of power and obstruction of Congress regarding his interactions with Ukraine, touching off a rapid-fire sequence that could result in a momentous floor vote in a matter of days.

“The framers of the Constitution prescribed a clear remedy for presidents who so violate their oath of office,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. "No one, not even the president, is above the law.”

His office later posted text of the articles, which declare Trump's actions warrant impeachment, trial and removal from office.

I'm tired of smary politicians and their platitudes that say NOTHING

[davevenell]

Pontificating quotes that have nothing to do with this sham doesn’t turn lies into truth.

[bersabehnigatu]

I don’t really support any political party, but watching what is going on these days in America I am so lost hope in the future of America because of Republican bizarre behavior.

[aronaauxier]

These Democrats are like a broken record

[asamarduk]

[daviddabbs]

I stopped listening after he started speaking

[biffalobull]

Quoting the Founders, Reagan and Scripture is unfamiliar ground for Dims. It's actually quite insightful. When you think you have a righteous cause, you place those things and individuals you hate in a favorable light? This is certainly a change in strategy.
