WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Madeleine Dean (PA-04) voted for both articles of impeachment against President Trump. The articles (H. Res. 755) address the President’s coercion of a foreign power into interfering in American elections – and his subsequent defiance of Congress’s Constitutionally-mandated oversight. The first article passed the House by a margin of 230-197; the second passed by a margin of 229-198.
“Today is not about punishment or dislike. It is about love of country – about protecting our system of government where no one is above the law,” Rep. Dean said. “We have a generational duty to uphold our Constitution and our democracy. Because regardless of the outcome of this impeachment, the President’s tenure will end — and this body and our grandchildren will be left with what we did here today.”

Rep. Madeleine Dean is a mother, grandmother, attorney, professor, former four-term member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, and U.S. Representative for the Fourth District of Pennsylvania.
