Clay Cosponsors U.S. House Resolutions Outlining Article of Impeachment against Donald Trump, President of the United States, and Demanding an Immediate Inquiry
Statement
"Today, I have acted to assert the constitutionally mandated authority of the U.S. House to hold President Donald Trump accountable for his repeated acts of attempted obstruction of justice and his reckless contempt for the Constitution which he took an oath to preserve, protect and defend.
First, I have joined with Congressman Brad Sherman (D) California and Congressman Al Green (D) Texas, to cosponsor H. Res. 13: Impeaching Donald Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
The proposed Article of Impeachment recount's President Trump's repeated attempts to obstruct justice in the Russia investigation, as outlined in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report. It has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The proposed Article of Impeachment concludes:
"Donald John Trump has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States."

I have also joined with Congresswoman Rashida Talib (D) Michigan and Congressman Al Green (D) Texas to cosponsor H. Res 257: Inquiring whether the House of Representatives should impeach Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America. It has been referred to the House Rules Committee.
To read the full text of H. Res 257, please go to:

Impeachment is the only constitutionally available remedy that would directly address President Trump's blatant and repeated attempts to obstruct justice and repeatedly lied to Congress, and most importantly lied to the American people.
In the past, other presidents who trampled on the Rule of Law, dishonored their office, and violated their sacred oath were ultimately held accountable by the Constitution and the harsh judgement of history.
Donald Trump is about to learn that same lesson."
