Supporting Articles of Impeachment Against President Trump
Today (this December 18th, 2019), Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) released the statement below following his vote supporting articles of impeachment against President Trump –
“The only things standing between a democracy and a dictatorship is the separation of powers and the rule of law.”
“As Members of Congress we take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution compels impeachment of the President for treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
American citizens at one of numerous impeachment rallies held in cities and towns across the United States this past December 17th, on the eve of impeachment voting taking place on the floor of the U.S. Congress
“The solicitation of a favor from the Ukraine President in exchange for personal, political gain is a bribe and an abuse of power. The evidence is clear, the facts are totally undisputed, and the intent is confirmed by the President’s own Ambassador and Chief of Staff.”
“There is no joy in impeachment, but the President’s actions demand it. Inviting foreign interference in U.S. elections is a threat to our security and democracy. Congress has an obligation to serve as the People’s check and balance to the abuse of power.”
“Through the Constitution, the framers sought a nation committed to uphold the promise of justice, integrity and independence. Today the House of Representatives delivered a vote keeping that promise.”
