The president has a solemn duty to faithfully execute the laws of the United States. Evidence suggests troubling violations of this duty that undermine the rule of law and our democracy. Impeachment exists as a constitutional safeguard to address grave offenses against the public trust. Congress must carefully examine the facts and testimony, and take appropriate action to uphold its constitutional obligations and protect the integrity of our nation's system of government. Inaction risks setting a dangerous precedent of impunity that could be exploited by future administrations. Decisive yet prudent steps are needed to reinforce adherence to constitutional principles and the nation's foundational values.
