History. But lets have a listen now to some of the arguments made from both sides those who voted against impeachment and not just endorsing President Trumps past actions but his future ones as well democrats have delivered 2 week articles of impeachment abuse of power not according to the ukraine president selenski confirm many times that there was no quid pro quo no action taken and significant military aid was delivered without anything in return this vote this day is about one thing and one thing only they hate this president they hate those of us who voted for him they think were stupid they think we made a mistake they think Hillary Clinton should be the president and they want to fix that speaker i would you mind the gentlemen that if the president is President Trump is impeached and removed the new president will be mike pence not Hillary Clinton. Now republican senator and staunch trump ally Lindsey Graham said he would want to see a quick impeachment trial in the Senate Witho
Democratic speaker of the house nancy pelosi opened the debate she called for both sides to put aside their pashas and differences and vote in the interest of the country it is tragic that the president s reckless actions make impeachment necessary he gave us no choice what we are discussing today is the established fact that the president violated the constitution is a matter of fact that the president is an ongoing threat to our National Security and the integrity of our elections the basis of our democracy hundreds of historians legal scholars and former prosecutors regardless of party had stated that the president committed Impeachable Offenses well the Republican House Intelligence Committee member matt get says the Democrat Impeachment will backfire in next years president ial election.
