Long Island Congresswoman Calls For Impeaching Trump

Long Island Congresswoman Kathleen Rice, a Democrat from Garden City, has officially joined other Congressional Democrats in calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

After Special Counsel Robert Mueller said that his investigation did not exonerate the president, Rice took to Twitter to advocate removing Trump from office.

"Robert Mueller made it clear that it was [Department of Justice] policy, not a lack of evidence, that prevented him from charging the President with a crime," Rice wrote. "His hands were tied. But ours are not. Congress has full authority to hold the President accountable, and it's past time that we exercise it."

I said it last week and I'll say it again now. Congress must begin an impeachment inquiry. We have a constitutional obligation to do so -- because no one is above the law.

For over two years the President has systematically dismantled our democracy and defied the rule of law. This cannot stand.

Congress has a moral obligation to put our politics aside and take action. We need to start impeachment proceedings.

The President is not above the law.

What do you think? Should Congress begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump?
