Dear Friends,
Speaker Pelosi announced her initial "impeachment inquiry" 39 days ago.
Over the last six weeks, Democrat leaders have run a secretive, partisan impeachment inquiry, hidden away from members of Congress, that is unprecedented and unfair to central Arkansans.
Despite claiming that no House vote is needed, yesterday Speaker Pelosi attempted to save face by passing a resolution that formalizes her ongoing, one-sided impeachment process that lacks any semblance of due process.
Democrat leadership blatantly deviated from historical precedent by altering the language used to establish impeachment proceedings under both President Nixon in 1974 and President Clinton in 1998. During those impeachment proceedings, the process was collaborative, and the minority had equal participation.
Not surprisingly, every single Republican and two Democrats voted against Speaker Pelosi's partisan impeachment resolution.
While Democrat leaders have obsessed over undoing the results of the 2016 election, they have completely lost sight of their responsibility to address important issues facing the American people.
Instead of doubling-down on a partisan impeachment inquiry, they should work with Republicans to pass on-time government funding, reduce health care costs, and pass USMCA.
Click on the picture below to watch my remarks from the House floor speaking out in opposition to Speaker Pelosi's so-called "impeachment inquiry."
Sincerely,
Representative French Hill
