Casten Statement on Impeachment Vote
Washington, D.C. (December 11, 2025) — U.S. Congressman Sean Casten released the following statement regarding today’s vote on a motion to table articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump:
“Donald Trump should not be president. He has been impeached twice, and the only reason he is president today is because the Senate failed to uphold its duty and convict him after inciting a violent insurrection in an attempt to overthrow American democracy.
“Donald Trump has committed innumerable impeachable offenses in his second term. His administration is rife with lawless actions that meet the bar of high crimes and misdemeanors. He should be removed from office, and I by no means condone Republican arguments to the contrary.
“But to support an impeachment resolution today would be to put the Senate in a position to once again ignore its duty. It would allow Speaker Johnson to appoint Republican impeachment managers who would turn his Senate trial into an embarrassment to our country. The next attempt to impeach the president must be done only once Congress has taken the necessary steps to secure removal. That is the way forward.”
