The president’s address was uplifting and powerful. I especially liked his focus on the good economy, higher incomes, record low unemployment and working together to lower health care costs.

I’m looking forward to President @realDonaldTrump’s #SOTU address tonight.
The president has a great story to tell—a good economy, lower taxes and new conservative judges on the bench. pic.twitter.com/kkqstpDn9y

EXCLUSIVE: @SenAlexander says he thinks what the president did “was improper.” #MTP
Sen. Alexander: “The only question left is who decides what to do about that.”
@ChuckTodd: “Well, who decides what to do about that?”
Sen. Alexander: “The people."

It would create the weapon of perpetual impeachment to be used against future presidents whenever the House of Representatives is of a different political party. 14/15

If this shallow, hurried and wholly partisan impeachment were to succeed, it would rip the country apart, pouring gasoline on the fire of cultural divisions that already exist. 13/15

The framers believed that there should never, ever be a partisan impeachment. That is why the Constitution requires a 2/3 vote of the Senate for conviction. Yet not one House Republican voted for these articles. 12/15

Even if the House charges were true, they do not meet the Constitution’s “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” standard for an impeachable offense. 11/15

The Senate has spent nine long days considering this “mountain” of evidence, the arguments of the House managers and the president’s lawyers, their answers to senators’ questions and the House record. 10/15

I believe that the Constitution provides that the people should make that decision in the presidential election that begins in Iowa on Monday. 9/15

The question then is not whether the president did it, but whether the United States Senate or the American people should decide what to do about what he did. 8/15
