White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany responded to suggestions that some Democrats in Congress will attempt to impeach President Donald Trump in a bid to stop him from nominating a new justice to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg following her death last week.

“Apparently, it is now a high crime and misdemeanor worthy of impeachment for a lawfully elected president of the United States to exercise his constitutional duty,” she said. “Article Two, Section Two of the Constitution clearly states that the president ’shall nominate' justices of the Supreme Court when a vacancy occurs.”
