Donald Trump is not the first President to have a set of presidential emergency action documents ready to use, but he is the first to openly suggest that he believes his power to be total and without subject to oversight.

The hour has come for a new generation to lead the Democratic Congress that I so deeply respect.

Voting whether or not to remove a sitting President has been a truly difficult decision, and after listening to the arguments presented by both sides, I have reached my conclusion reluctantly. For the reasons above I must vote yes on the articles of impeachment. I take no pleasure in these votes, and am saddened this is the legacy we leave our children and grandchildren. I have always wanted this President, and every President to succeed, but I deeply love our country and must do what I think is best for the nation.
