Opening impeachment debate, Pelosi calls Trump ‘an ongoing threat to our national security’ by stableford
Quoting from the Pledge of Allegiance, George Washington and the late Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday delivered a short speech to open the debate on articles of impeachment against President Trump.
Calling impeachment “one of the most solemn powers” Congress can take, Pelosi said Trump’s dealings with Ukraine and his obstruction of the House probe had left members no choice but to act. “No member regardless of party or politics comes to Congress to impeach a president,” she said. “Every one of us stood on this historic house floor before our beautiful American flag and raised our hand in this sacred oath. ‘I do solemnly swear I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, so help me god.’”
“When you go looking for something for three years, especially this year since January, you ought to be excited when you found it,” he said. “Why do you call this a solemn occasion when you’ve been wanting to do this ever since [President Trump] was elected?”
