"I will vote for the impeachment on Donald Trump on both articles. Perhaps the most consequential event of these last few years has been the failure of so many of our nation’s leaders to cast aside narrow ambition and stand against the threat right before us. They have chosen comfort over courage and avarice over republic. This is the ongoing tragedy of our age. Here, finally, the matter is solely in Congress’s hands. The buck has stopped.

"Without a doubt, the President has violated the Constitution by seeking the assistance of a foreign government for the purposes of circumventing our democratic process. I am absolutely convinced that he should be impeached based on his own admission," Rush said in a statement to The Washington Post on Sept. 25.
"It is sad that it has come to this. I take no joy in this process, but we cannot have a President that is above the law. If my constituents do something wrong then they face the consequences.

"After solemn deliberation, reading the documents relevant to the impeachment inquiry and closely following the hearings, I will be supporting the two articles of impeachment for the President of the United States. President Trump’s conduct in his interactions with the President of Ukraine were illegal and he obstructed justice by refusing to cooperate with Congressional investigations," Schrader said in a statement on Dec. 10.
"The people of the 8th district sent me to Congress to bring down the cost of health care, fight for their families, and make thoughtful, evidence-based decisions. I did not come to Congress to impeach the President. However, the evidence before us, including from the President himself, is serious. The President abused the power of his office to sway the 2020 election in his favor. He put his own political interest above the interests of our nation. And then, when pressed for more information, he refused to cooperate or let key witnesses testify. No one is above the law. On my first day in office, I took an oath to uphold the Constitution and protect our country. Given all the facts before us, impeachment is the only remedy. No future president should ever believe that this was acceptable behavior," Schrier said in a statement to The Washington Post on Dec. 13.

"From the first day of this session, I’ve called to uphold our nation’s law of the land, our United States Constitution. This means impeaching the President for his criminal and impeachable offenses. I made this decision early on because the continued lawlessness and king-like activity out of the White House endangers our democracy. Unfortunately, this President continues to put the lives of Americans in jeopardy by disregarding the well-being of people across the country, putting his personal interests before the American people he took an oath to serve. In light of today’s news, I say, ‘Tick-Tock, Mr. President.’ The nation has joined our call to hold him accountable with his recent extortion of Ukraine. We have done enough investigations that have helped in uncovering many of his illegal acts and impeachable offenses. These are days, months, and years we cannot get back for the people who sent us here to be a check on this dangerous administration and push forth legislation on issues they care about. Congress must act swiftly on articles of impeachment. We are a nation of laws and no one, especially the President, is above them. Impeachment is a very serious matter, but the actions of this President and his disregard for a co-equal branch of government and the laws he should be following call for this serious response. As members of Congress, impeachment is our only answer at this point," Tlaib said in a statement to The Washington Post on Sept. 25.

"House Democrats have been ready to impeach first and find a rationale later since they lost the 2016 election. They’re at it again. Democrats are once again plowing ahead before we have the facts. If the Russia investigation told us anything, it’s that we should wait for the facts before rushing to judgement. There are serious issues facing our country. Democrats aren’t focused on Iran or the crisis at our border and they haven’t lifted a finger towards passing the new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, just to name a few. America would be far better off if they showed the same passion for finding solutions to our country’s challenges as they have for trying to take down the President," Calvert said in a statement to The Washington Post on Oct. 7.

"Not only do I oppose the opening of an impeachment inquiry based on partisan speculations, I am appalled at the Speaker’s lack of accountability and regard for our republic in the process. Declaring an impeachment inquiry by fiat without a House vote to define the inquiry and establish parameters of investigations is an unprecedented stunt that puts party over country and betrays our Constitutional duty. Of course, all whistleblowers in the federal government deserve the same good faith consideration.

And then, when pressed for more information, he refused to cooperate or let key witnesses testify. No one is above the law.

"From the first day of this session, I’ve called to uphold our nation’s law of the land, our United States Constitution. This means impeaching the President for his criminal and impeachable offenses. I made this decision early on because the continued lawlessness and king-like activity out of the White House endangers our democracy. Unfortunately, this President continues to put the lives of Americans in jeopardy by disregarding the well-being of people across the country, putting his personal interests before the American people he took an oath to serve. In light of today’s news, I say, ‘Tick-Tock, Mr. President.’ The nation has joined our call to hold him accountable with his recent extortion of Ukraine. We have done enough investigations that have helped in uncovering many of his illegal acts and impeachable offenses. These are days, months, and years we cannot get back for the people who sent us here to be a check on this dangerous administration and push forth legislation on issues they care about. Congress must act swiftly on articles of impeachment. We are a nation of laws and no one, especially the President, is above them. Impeachment is a very serious matter, but the actions of this President and his disregard for a co-equal branch of government and the laws he should be following call for this serious response. As members of Congress, impeachment is our only answer at this point," Tlaib said in a statement to The Washington Post on Sept. 25.

"House Democrats have been ready to impeach first and find a rationale later since they lost the 2016 election. They’re at it again. Democrats are once again plowing ahead before we have the facts. If the Russia investigation told us anything, it’s that we should wait for the facts before rushing to judgement. There are serious issues facing our country. Democrats aren’t focused on Iran or the crisis at our border and they haven’t lifted a finger towards passing the new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, just to name a few. America would be far better off if they showed the same passion for finding solutions to our country’s challenges as they have for trying to take down the President," Calvert said in a statement to The Washington Post on Oct. 7.

"Not only do I oppose the opening of an impeachment inquiry based on partisan speculations, I am appalled at the Speaker’s lack of accountability and regard for our republic in the process. Declaring an impeachment inquiry by fiat without a House vote to define the inquiry and establish parameters of investigations is an unprecedented stunt that puts party over country and betrays our Constitutional duty. Of course, all whistleblowers in the federal government deserve the same good faith consideration.

Impeachment is not designed to be a solely partisan act; however, Democrats have been calling for impeachment since day one of President Trump’s presidency, and it appears that they’re on autopilot at this point. Instead of partisan tactics, Congress should work on addressing important issues affecting the American people by fixing prescription drug pricing, ratifying the United States – Mexico – Canada trade agreement, repairing our nation’s infrastructure, and more," Mitchell said in a statement to The Post on Oct. 8.
