Declaration of Independence.
Let us begin where our founders began in 1776. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House,
via 'The New York Times'.
In the course of today’s events, it becomes necessary for us to address, among other grievances, the president’s failure to faithfully execute the law. , Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House,
via 'The New York Times'.
His wrongdoing strikes at the very heart of our Constitution. Our democracy is what is at stake. The president leaves us no choice but to act because he is trying to corrupt, once again, the election for his own benefit, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House,
via 'The New York Times'.
Pelosi's announcement
follows the opening day formal
