Representatives Susan Davis, Mike Levin, Scott Peters, and Juan Vargas all voted yes on both articles of impeachment, which are abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before voting, Levin said that \u201cno one is above the law, not even the president. That is why I support both articles of impeachment.\u201d Ironically, neither of the articles have anything to do with the rule of law. Democrats are classifying\u2014or at least trying to\u2014the president\u2019s actions as \u201chigh crimes and misdemeanors.\u201d However, there is no law in place that he has violated. Rep. Levin also actively advocates for illegal immigrants, despite claiming to care about \u201cthe rule of law.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rep. Davis said, \u201cMake no mistake. We are not impeaching the president. He is impeaching himself. If you are the president, and you obstruct justice, try to bribe a foreign leader and threaten national security, you\u2019re going to get impeached. End of story.\u201d However, \u201cbribery\u201d and \u201cobstruction of justice\u201d were not included in any of the articles passed by Congress. There is also no evidence that our national security was threatened in any way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rep. Peters called it a \u201csolemn day\u201d for America. But that is hard to believe considering his colleagues had to be visually scolded by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi when they began <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/davidmack\/trump-impeachment-nancy-pelosi-reaction-democrats-applaud\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cheering after passing the articles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rep. Vargas reminded constituents that he was one of the first members of Congress to support impeachment. But with no evidence of impeachable offenses anywhere to be found, this surely isn\u2019t something to be proud of.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DutxclyZw9\">pic.twitter.com\/DutxclyZw9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J.

Results that, to this day, they have been unable and unwilling to accept. Tens of millions of Americans voted to elect Donald Trump, and every single one should be furious that Democrats are trying to nullify their vote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Democrat leaders in the House have also suggested that they would be willing to impeach Trump a second time. This comes after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that she will be withholding the articles of impeachment from the Senate indefinitely. Democrats have taken every ounce of precedent regarding impeachment and thrown it out the window, all because of a pipe dream that they will be able to undo an election that did not go in their favor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all Democrats are happy about what their party has become. New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew switched to the Republican Party over the impeachment charade. Representatives Jared Golden of Maine and Collin C. Peterson of Minnesota also voted no on one or both of the impeachment articles. Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard voted \u201cpresent,\u201d citing the partisan nature of the impeachment. Every House Republican voted against both articles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recent\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-approval-impeachment-poll\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gallup poll<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also revealed that support for impeachment is dropping precipitously, with the majority of Americans now being opposed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Michael Palomba The four Democratic Congressmen of San Diego all voted to impeach President Trump in the House&#8217;s recent impeachment vote.
