US Congressman Balderson Weighs In on Impeachment Process
ZANESVILLE, Ohio – Following the impeachment of President Donald
Trump by the United States House of Representatives, the process is
set to continue in the US Senate beginning tomorrow. US Congressman
Troy Balderson, of Ohio’s 12th District, says before the
proceedings can commence members of the Senate must formulate a plan
of action for the process.
“They will set up
the rules tomorrow and go start the process. I believe that’s going
to start about one or two o’clock tomorrow afternoon—and then
we’ll have more of a general idea of how the process is going to be
in the Senate. There were several different ways they were talking
about doing; but, tomorrow it’ll actually be official as to what
they’re doing.”
While the
impeachment process was a chaotic time for the House, Balderson says
important legislation has continued to be voted upon and passed by
representatives.
“It’s
troublesome that we’ve got to go through a process like this—it’s
not something that we want to do, but we will work through it. We
want to make sure that the people do know that we are getting things
done. The United States Mexico Canadian Agreement is what some are
calling NAFTA Number Two—from the first NAFTA Agreement, some 30
years ago now. That is something that we did that passed, and the
President signed it into law last week.”
At least 67 members
of the Senate must vote in favor of conviction in order for Trump to
be removed from office.
