      There is no need for more evidence to prove that the president asked Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter; he said this on television on October 3, 2019, and during his July 25, 2019, telephone call with the president of Ukraine. 2/15

      There is no need for more evidence to conclude that the president withheld United States aid, at least in part, to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens; the House managers have proved this with what they call a “mountain of overwhelming evidence.” 3/15

      There is no need to consider further the frivolous second article of impeachment that would remove the president for asserting his constitutional prerogative to protect confidential conversations with his close advisers. 4/15

      It was inappropriate for the president to ask a foreign leader to investigate his political opponent and to withhold United States aid to encourage that investigation. 5/15

      When elected officials inappropriately interfere with such investigations, it undermines the principle of equal justice under the law. 6/15

      But the Constitution does not give the Senate the power to remove the president from office and ban him from this year’s ballot simply for actions that are inappropriate. 7/15

      The question then is not whether the president did it, but whether the United States Senate or the American people should decide what to do about what he did. 8/15

      I believe that the Constitution provides that the people should make that decision in the presidential election that begins in Iowa on Monday. 9/15

      The Senate has spent nine long days considering this “mountain” of evidence, the arguments of the House managers and the president’s lawyers, their answers to senators’ questions and the House record. 10/15

      Even if the House charges were true, they do not meet the Constitution’s “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” standard for an impeachable offense. 11/15

      The framers believed that there should never, ever be a partisan impeachment. That is why the Constitution requires a 2/3 vote of the Senate for conviction. Yet not one House Republican voted for these articles. 12/15

          If this shallow, hurried and wholly partisan impeachment were to succeed, it would rip the country apart, pouring gasoline on the fire of cultural divisions that already exist. 13/15

          It would create the weapon of perpetual impeachment to be used against future presidents whenever the House of Representatives is of a different political party. 14/15

          Our founding documents provide for duly elected presidents who serve with “the consent of the governed,” not at the pleasure of the United States Congress. Let the people decide. 15/15

          How can we truly decide if one of the candidates cheated. Our voices will not truly be heard, that's what all of y'all are missing

          The framers absolutely did not have any concerns about “partisan impeachment” because they didn’t have parties at the time. This is embarrassing.

          In fact many were staunchly opposed to having them at all. Strictly because of situations like this: a Senate choosing to carry out a partisan acquittal of a guilty man because he's in their party.
