Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors (S.Res. 488 and H.Res. 755)

U.S. Senate

Richard Burr (R)

Phone: 202-224-3154

Vote: not guilty
"To remove a U.S. President from office, for the first time in our history, on anything less than overwhelming evidence of ‘Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors’ would effectively overturn the will of the American people. For these reasons, I voted to acquit the President on both articles of impeachment."

Vote: not guilty
"This entire impeachment effort was motivated by partisan politics and a desire to remove the President from office instead of allowing the American people to decide his fate at the ballot box in November. Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats denied the President basic due process rights from the start and ultimately presented a weak case for removal that was rejected by the Senate. The President has been acquitted and we now need to move on. I’m committed to continuing my work to deliver more results for North Carolinians to keep our economy and military strong."

Vote: for Articles of Impeachment
"President Trump put himself before country and violated his oath of office. The oath I took is clear— I have sworn to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Based on the evidence before us, I voted in favor of both Articles of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump. No one is above the law."

Phone: 202-225-3415

Vote: against Articles of Impeachment
"I certainly cannot support either of these articles and will be happy when the president is acquitted in the Senate and Congress can get back to tending to the business of the people."

David Price (D)

4th Congressional District
Phone: 202-225-1784

Vote: for Articles of Impeachment
"The evidence is clear: President Trump abused his power by asking a vulnerable foreign leader to investigate both his political rival and a baseless Russian conspiracy theory while withholding congressionally appropriated defense aid and a coveted White House visit. He then blocked Congressional investigation into these abuses."

Vote: against Articles of Impeachment
"Here we are, almost three years later, and what we are witnessing today is unprecedented in American history. A very partisan-based impeachment, with no facts that warrant it. This is an impeachment based on hearsay and speculation, rooted in a deep-seated hatred for a man many of my colleagues on the other side detest. Not all, but many."

"Our Founding Fathers warned of the impeachment process being abused for partisan purposes. In Federalist Papers No. 65, Alexander Hamilton warned, 'there will always be the greatest danger that the decision will be regulated more by the comparative strength of parties, than by the real demonstration of innocence or guilt.'"

"This week, in a radical departure from historical precedent, the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Trump on purely partisan lines without a single member of the Republican party voting in favor of impeachment. This was the first time in American history that a vote to impeach a sitting president was solely along party lines."
