Democrats Object to All Seventeen Republican Amendments to the Impeachment Resolution
U.S. Capitol building Washington DC, Oct. 30, 2019, House Rules Committee
|Updated:

Democrats and Republicans fundamentally disagree about the impeachment inquiry and, therefore, could not come to an agreement on Oct. 30 at the Rules Committee Meeting. The impeachment resolution was being marked up before being finalized for a vote this morning. The Democrats objected to all the changes brought forth by the Republicans.

The House Rules Committee was tasked with going through the impeachment resolution to make possible amendments.  The two parties disagreed about what would make the impeachment resolution fair and in line with the constitution.  The Democrats pledged that the inquiry process has been completely fair, transparent, and constitutionally aligned from day one while the Republicans resoundingly disagreed.
