It's about the president using governmental powers unique to him, for the sole purpose of getting himself re-elected. Now add that the natural disaster put national security assets at stake. That's what Trump did re Ukraine. — Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) January 25, 2020

What is at risk here is the very idea of America: That we are a nation of laws, not of men. Those who excuse the President's conduct because of partisan loyalty betray their oath of office. But I intend to uphold mine. I voted to impeach Donald J. Trump. pic.twitter.com/4qvlOag9N5 — Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) December 19, 2019 Tonight, the House voted to impeach the President of the United States.
