President Donald Trump has been impeached by the House of Representatives. What happens in the Senate in early 2020 may not remove him from office, but this is nonetheless a historic moment. If we peel back the political layers of this situation, we can begin to understand its significance, as well as the dangers it presents to America and, yes, the Republican Party.
The impeachable offenses? Obstruction of Congress, which is the third co-equal branch of government, and abuse of power. House Democrats could have presented other charges—and, frankly, I believe they did not build as strong a case as they could have. Violating the Emoluments Clause, a constitutional provision against foreign influence on American office holders, is just one example.

The American people deserve a Congress that stands for more than just partisan politics.
