From my Senator Pat Toomey
This was taken from his weekly update:
My Statement on the Conclusion of the Impeachment Trial
On Wednesday, I joined a majority of senators in voting to acquit President Trump. The Constitution sets a very high bar for impeachment and removal of a sitting president. While some of President Trump's actions were inappropriate, they did not come close to meeting the very high bar required to justify overturning the last election, removing him from office, and kicking him off the ballot in an election that has already begun. In November, the American people will decide for themselves whether President Trump should stay in office. In our democratic system, that's the way it should be.
It is my hope that Congress can now move past this extremely partisan and divisive episode and get back to working on issues that will strengthen our economy and make our communities safer.
For more on my rationale on opposing President Trump's removal from office, please check out the op-ed I wrote for the Philadelphia Inquirer this week.
I take no issue with that, I will defer to his greater knowledge of this question.
I will point out, that few have denied that trump did exactly what he was accused of and he has continued to lie about.
