That takes power away from the American people, and that would end our country as we know it--a democracy, a shining city on the hill, a beacon of hope to people around the world who followed our revolution by changing their governments to…
The President of the United States has violated the law. He has abused his power. He is undermining our freedoms, our democracy. We must act. That is why we are here today. No one, no President in this country is above the law.
The Supreme Court has emphasized that the fact-finding investigative power of Congress is essential to, integral to, and built into our legislative power.
Abuse of power is having a charitable foundation and taking advantage of the charities and using the money for your own purposes and having to pay a $2 million fine and not being allowed to be on a board ever again because you don't have…
I pray tonight that all of our colleagues have the courage to do the right thing: defend our beloved America and uphold their oath of office.
If we do not proceed with impeachment, I am afraid that our democracy will cease to exist as we know it.
I fear that the President was right when he warned us that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not be held accountable by his supporters.
The President is the Commander in Chief, and his responsibility is great. However, our President put his personal interests above the interests of the Nation, corrupting and cheating our democracy, and he shall be held accountable.
The President's abuse of power and obstruction of Congress are not only high crimes, they are crimes in progress right now.

And that is because the government belongs to the people; it doesn't belong to the President.
President Trump's violations threaten to break the foundation of our democracy. Impeachment, and removal from office, is the only way to fix it.
President Trump's obstruction of Congress is an affront to the citizens of my district, all Members of Congress, and all Americans who support free and fair elections.
And it is an affront to the memory of Congressman Elijah Cummings who knew we were better than this.
The House Judiciary Committee must defend our democracy because in America no one is above the law, not even the President of the United States.
The ongoing pattern of this President's abuse of power, his obstruction of investigations, refusing to turn over even one document, that is what requires us to act now.
House leaders unveil two articles of impeachment, accusing Trump of `high crimes and misdemeanors.
The most serious of such offenses include abuse of power, betrayal of the Nation through foreign entanglements, and corruption of public office.
If he puts himself before the country in a manner that threatens our democracy, then our oath, our promise to the American people requires us to come to the defense of the Nation.
