With two weeks left before the New Year, Congress is ablaze with debates about the merits, or lack thereof, of impeachment.

At this time, the House of Representatives is expected to hold a vote on whether or not to impeach President Trump. Democrats in the House remain more than eager to impeach, while their Republican colleagues couldn’t be more opposed.

Debates are heated and partisan, to say the least; however, according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the president left Democrats with “no choice” but to impeach him.

Pelosi made this claim during her opening remarks for the House’s debate on the impeachment proceedings.

Why Pelosi Claims Trump Left the Democrats With “No Choice”

The House Speaker first kicked off her opening remarks by asserting that impeachment proceedings are taking place “for the Republic.”

Shortly thereafter, Pelosi claimed that “no member of Congress” comes for the sake of impeaching a president; however, as much as Pelosi might like to believe this, it’s simply not accurate. Back in January, freshman Democrat Rashida Tlaib vowed that Democrats would “impeach the motherf**ker.” This proves that some Congress members do, in fact, come to Congress to impeach a president.
