Nancy Pelosi in Trump impeachment

On Principles & Values: Impeachment showed "the power of the gavel"

Pelosi promised as speaker she would "show the power of the gavel." As the first year of Pelosi's second stint as speaker draws to a close the California Democrat took stock of whether she fulfilled her campaign trail promise. "Donald Trump thinks so," Pelosi told The Associated Press. "He just got impeached. He'll be impeached forever. No matter what the Senate does. He's impeached forever because he violated our Constitution," she said. Source: Associated Press coverage of impeaching Trump Dec 18, 2019

On Principles & Values: Donald Trump will be impeached forever

Let's be optimistic about the future, a future that will not have Donald Trump in the White House one way or another. Ten months from now we will have an election if we don't have him removed sooner. But, again, he'll be impeached forever. Source: ABC This Week 2020 interviews on impeaching Trump Jan 12, 2020

On Principles & Values: American voters choose president, not foreign government

For centuries, Americans have fought and died to defend democracy for the people. But, very sadly now, our founders' vision of a republic is under threat from actions from the White House. That is why today, as speaker of the House, I solemnly and sadly open the debate on the impeachment of the president of the United States. If we do not act now, we would be derelict in our duty. It is tragic that the president's reckless actions make impeachment necessary. He gave us no choice.

What we are discussing today is the established fact that the president violated the constitution. It is a matter of fact that the president is an ongoing threat to our national security and the integrity of our elections, the basis of our democracy. Hundreds of historians and legal scholars, regardless of party, have stated that the president committed impeachable offenses. All Americans agree that American voters should choose our president, not some foreign government.
