From Rep. Steve Cohen (TN-09), Ranking
Member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil
Justice
Since
taking office in January, President Trump has exhibited unacceptable and often
offensive behavior for a President of the United States.
He has
taken the unprecedented action in the modern era of refusing to release his tax
returns.
He has
refused to divest from his private business interests, creating conflicts of
interest and potential violations of the Constitution’s emoluments clause.
He fired
his F.B.I. Director while the F.B.I. was investigating potential collusion
between the Trump campaign and Russia.
He
recklessly provided Russian officials with classified information during an
oval office meeting.
His Cabinet
has the fewest number of women and minorities since the Reagan Administration.
The gender
pay gap at the Trump White House is more than double the national average. The
list goes on and on and on.”
President
Trump has been President for six months and his probationary period is long
over.
This
resolution sends a clear message to the President that we disapprove of his
cumulative actions, that we are simpatico with our constituents and a majority
of the America people, and that we have no confidence in his service.
