I urge this body to take a course of action that is justified by the facts, censure, not impeachment.
Ray LaHood
The Public Record
Ray LaHood is a former Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Illinois's 18th congressional district from 1995 to 2009. During his tenure, he served on several committees and was known for his work on transportation and infrastructure issues. LaHood was a strong advocate for reforming the Electoral College, emphasizing the importance of direct elections for public offices. He also played a role in various bipartisan efforts during his time in Congress.
I urge the Republican leadership of this House to reconsider its unwise and partisan Rule that bars Members from having the opportunity to vote for a censure resolution in lieu of impeachment.
I believe a censure approach can be crafted which would not be Constitutionally inappropriate.
s called an election, and it happens every four years. Whatever the Founders meant by high Crimes and Misdemeanors,
I believe to be a beacon of light guiding us through this impeachment inquiry.
I believe it is in the best interest of everybody, especially young people like me, for you to vote for impeachment of President Clinton.
I believe the need is clear--just look at the normal investigative techniques used every day in this country by not only independent counsels, but by all federal prosecutors.
I believe it is shameful that the majority is attempting to overturn the 1996 election of President Clinton by abusing the impeachment process.
I believe that the President's resignation can be an act of nobility on his part.
I believe the balance of other factors, including the imperative to respect the integrity of the electoral process, argues against impeachment.
I believe that a President who lies under oath in a judicial proceeding is subject to impeachment because such conduct undermines our legal system, violates the President's oath and his constitutional responsibilities, and seriously…
I believe holding the President accountable for his actions in a criminal court of law is the best way we can uphold the rule of law in our country.
