Im also prepared for some form of diplomacy. The greatest thing i could do is shoot that ship thats 30 miles offshore right out of the water. When i took office, i decided that it was a fairly basic, simple proposition. And that is i got elected to solve problems. I do get good ratings. You have to admit that. All in all, ive been hired to solve problems, not create division. Are you going to include the Congressional Black Caucus and the congressional well, i would, do you want to set up the meeting . Are they friends of yours . Set up the meeting. Lets go, set up a meeting. But what i know i have now is i have electoral support from republican voters. I put it out before the American People. Got 306 Electoral College votes. I guess it was the biggest Electoral College win since ronald reagan. My predecessor, oh, god win , i miss him. Wow. Joe biden and Donald Trumps first News Conferences as president. What a difference, joe. Big difference. And you could talk i think most importantl
Reaction today to that 5743 verdict. I condemn what happened on January The 6th, but the process they used to impeach this president was an affront to rule of law. Could the president have done more, yeah . Did he incite this riot by his speech . Absolutely not. And what this was about to me, chris, is about not hiding history. This will now be seared in the memory of americans for generations to many could. I was disappointed in the result, but it resulted in the most bipartisan vote weve ever seen in age people in the president of the United States. Seven republican senators voted to convict donald trump, one of them bill cassidy being censured by the Republican Republican Party and heres what he had to say. Im Holding President trump accountable and thats the trust i have from the people who elected me and iconfident as time passes people will move to that position. And as lawmakers move past impeachment the calls are growing today for the creation of a 9 11style independent commiss
Good day from msnbc World Headquarters in new york. Welcome to weekends with alex. Heres whats happening at 2 00 p. M. Eastern 11 00 a. M. Pacific on capitol hill, after fallout from Donald Trumps second Impeachment Trial, 43 voted to acquit. The most bipartisan Impeachment Vote in history, as seven republicans vote with the former president , but the senate didnt reach the twothirds threshold required for a conviction. The verdict came after an unexpected vote to call witnesses followed by dramatic 180 from the House Managers backing down just hours later. Today democrats are defending that decision. It wasnt rushing to go home. It was making sure that we didnt get into a political battle.

At th
The merits. Thats no lick rule, chuck cooper who represented a former adviser to senator cruzs campaign, driving a stake into the central argument were going to hear from the former president s counsel. Now, i understand why this Fringe Constitutional Theory is being advanced for the past few weeks, the political right has been searching for a safe harbor, a way to oppose the conviction without passing judgment on his conduct to avoid alienating supporters, without condoning the despicable, unpatriotic, undemocratic behavior. But the truth is no such safe harbor exists. The trial is clearly constitutional by everybody frame of analysis, by still text, historical practice, senate and basic common sense. A president cannot simply resign to avoid accountability for an impeachable offense, nor can they escape judgment by waiting for the final few weeks in office to betray our country. The Impeachment Powers assigned by the constitution, cannot be defeated by a president who decides to run
