Tommy Tuberville on Government Reform

 

 


Supports term limits: politicians buy elections through ads

He said politicians "buy elections" through advertising. He said he would buy some but doesn't have money they have. "I'm getting my money from this state. They are getting their money from Washington, D.C.," he said, adding that once elected they would vote for Washington interests instead of constituent interests. Tuberville said he believed in term limits but noted the framers of the Constitution never believed anyone would want to go to Congress for a living.

Move government agencies out of Washington

He said bureaucrats are running the nation, and he promoted an idea Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn promoted to move government agencies out of Washington, such as the Environmental Protection Agency to Houston or the Department of Agriculture to Kansas.

"Get every one of them out of there, because it is nothing but a den of thieves," he said.

Strongly supports Electoral College, according to AFA survey.

Tuberville opposes the AFA survey question on abolishing the Electoral College

The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'The Electoral College should be abolished'? Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): `Grounded in God; rooted in research`; they `thoroughly investigate candidates`; when they cannot `evaluate with confidence, they receive an `Insufficient` rating` (& we exclude)

Strict Constitutionalist, according to CC survey.

Tuberville supports the Christian Coalition survey question on judicial Constitutionalism

The Christian Coalition inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Appointing Judges Who Will Adhere to a Strict Interpretation of the Constitution?' Self-description by Christian Coalition of America: "These guides help give voters a clear understanding of where candidates stand on important pro-family issues" for all Senate and Presidential candidates.

President Trump not guilty of inciting insurrection.

Tuberville voted NAY removing President Trump from office for inciting insurrection

GovTrack.us summary of H.Res.24: Article of Impeachment Against Former President Donald John Trump:

The House impeached President Trump for the second time, charging him with incitement of insurrection. The impeachment resolution accused the President of inciting the violent riot that occurred on January 6, when his supporters invaded the United States Capitol injuring and killing Capitol Police and endangering the safety of members of Congress. It cites statements from President Trump to the rioters such as `if you don`t fight like hell you`re not going to have a country anymore,` as well as persistent lies that he won the 2020 Presidential election.

Legislative Outcome:

Bill introduced Jan 11, 2021, with 217 co-sponsors; House rollcall vote #117 passed 232-197-4 on Jan. 13th (a YES vote in the House was to impeach President Trump for inciting insurrection); Senate rollcall vote #59 rejected 57-43-0 on Feb. 13th (2/3 required in Senate to pass; a YES vote in the Senate would have found President Trump guilty, but since he had already left office at that time, a guilty verdict would have barred Trump from running for President in the future)
