Pelosi: House Will Proceed with Articles of Impeachment
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced Thursday that the House would proceed with the articles of impeachment, setting the stage for the third time in American history a president would face that judgement.
In a statement laden with references to the founding fathers and their intentions when crafting the Constitution, Pelosi focused on the checks they put in place to ensure a president could not operate as a king.
“If we allow a president to be above the law we do so surely at the peril of the Republic,” she said. “In America, no one is above the law.”
