“In your first act as Majority Leader, rather than begin the national healing that the country so desperately yearns for, you seek vengeance and political retaliation instead,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) wrote to the soon to be Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in a letter sent Sunday.

“While the vice President and Senate republicans rejected unconstitutional actions, you seek to force upon the Senate, what would itself be but one more unconstitutional action in this disgraceful saga – the impeachment trial of a former president.”
Graham pointed out that the impeachment power exists to “protect the Nation from the harm that an incumbent president might inflict upon the Nation were he to remain in office.”

The Senate should vote to dismiss the article of impeachment once it is received in the Senate. We will be delaying indefinitely, if not forever, the healing of this great Nation if we do otherwise. pic.twitter.com/fjVcf7iVPf
