Buchanan Statement on Impeachment

Statement

Congressman Vern Buchanan spoke on the House floor Wednesday against the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

"Madam Speaker, I will vote today against both articles of impeachment because they are without merit and set a dangerous precedent for our country. This political vendetta is an abuse of the impeachment process and would subvert the votes of 63 million Americans. Just because the President's opponents are afraid he will win reelection is no excuse for weaponizing impeachment. No president in history has ever been impeached 10 months before an election. Elections are the heart of our democracy. Our founding fathers devised a simple way to remove a president that you disagree with -- it's called an election -- and we have one coming up in less than a year. Let the people decide."
