Congressman Rooney to vote 'no' on impeachment of the President
Congressman Francis Rooney will vote
against the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
"The impeachment of a President
is among the most somber votes that any Member of Congress can take," Rooney
said in a prepared statement issued shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday. "The
process should not be rushed or based on an artificial timeline, nor should it
be partisan or incomplete. It should be thorough and convincing. I repeatedly
urged the leaders of the process to stay these proceedings until all executive
privilege claims and refusals to deliver documents could be adjudicated by the
courts, and all relevant primary sources of testimony could be heard under
oath, as was the case in both the Clinton and Nixon impeachment hearings.
"Additionally, having asked
numerous ex-White House Counsels and well-known government attorneys, there can
be no "obstruction of Congress (or of justice)" while the person
refusing to comply is relying on a claim of executive privilege. Only after
losing in court, and still refusing to comply with a subpoena, would a claimant
be obstructing.
"Based on the limited evidence
provided to the House of Representatives, the President's behavior, while
inappropriate, was neither criminal, nor does it rise to the level of
justifying impeachment.
"It is now time to get back to
the business of passing the USMCA, securing our borders, fixing our immigration
system, protecting our environment, and working to reduce our unconscionable
national debt."
