E. J. good morning, everyone. Thank you for coming. Thank you to those who are joining us online. The hashtag for this event for those who want to quot the very distinguished panel or make any comment is impeachment101. I want to thank john allen for those remarks. I think it would show the seriousness of the think tank if john allens remarks alone could make federalist 65 go viral.

S. This separation of role was vital in the minds of the framers of our constitution to ensure that the enormity of the power to remove from Public Office, to impeach, was not concentrated in the han
Good morning, commissioners. I just want to start with the Older Americans act. I usually start with the federal level and i wanted to give you a report that the Older Americans the Congress Passed a shortterm continuation of the Older Americans act. As i mentioned before, it was some set it on september 30th so they passed a shortterm resolution to keep it going until november 21st. In the meantime, we are hoping to work out the appropriation differences that they have, so we had really news on the house side that there were actually they were proposing some increases for the Older Americans act and on the senate side, it was much less impressive. So theres still a lot of advocacy to be done, and hopefully our advocates from San Francisco will be thinking about how we can reach out and make sure that the Older Americans act gets funded at hopefully better levels than it currently looks like on the senate guide. We will keep you abreast of that situation, but it might be that the depar
