Don't be fooled. Democrats are not impeaching the President to protect national security. Democrats are impeaching the President for following a law that they themselves voted for. No less than five times in the last 6 years, bipartisan Congresses imposed on the executive branch an affirmative duty to ensure that the Government of Ukraine was countering corruption. And for good reason: Ukraine is the third-most corrupt nation on Earth. So the President not only had the legal authority to temporarily pause security assistance to Ukraine, he had a mandate from Congress to do it. As a result, President Zelensky's government made historic anticorruption reforms, making Ukraine a more reliable ally, countering Russian aggression. Far from compromising national security, the President's actions advanced national security. Oppose this impeachment.
