We need leadership, and we need leaders like Rep. Liz Cheney. Last night, she won big and for good reason. My full statement here:
Liz Cheney, asked whether the Senate should convict: "What we already know does constitute the gravest violation of his oath of office by any president in the history of the country, & this is not something that we can simply look past or pretend didn’t happen or try to move on."
The Constitution provides disqualification from future office as an available penalty in cases of impeachment. It would defy logic if a president could commit an impeachable offense near the end of his term and evade this penalty simply because his term expired before the trial.
I changed my registration to "no party affiliation" after 40 years. I worked for Reagan & Bush 41 & 43. But today’s Rep Party no longer embraces the policies & principles that led me to join it. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, I didn’t leave the Republican Party; the Party left me.
When I took office three weeks ago, America didn’t have a plan or enough supplies to vaccinate most of the country. But my team got right to work, and as of today, we’ve increased weekly vaccine shipments by nearly 30% and purchased enough vaccines to vaccinate all Americans.
