WASHINGTON—Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.) introduced a resolution to the House of Representatives on Jan. 8 to censure the chamber’s top official, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for her delay in sending two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate.

“Speaker Pelosi’s decision to hold the articles of impeachment against President Trump in a pathetic and unconstitutional attempt to extract concessions from the Senate is an unprecedented abuse of power,” Byrne said in a statement announcing the resolution.
