Fellow Conservative,

Good Saturday Morning! 2020 marks a new decade and the 10-year anniversary of Heritage Action’s founding!

A lot has changed over 10 years, but Heritage Action is as committed as ever to holding Congress accountable. Here’s what happened on the Hill this week:

Impeachment

This week, it was more appropriate to refer to impeachment as the thing that wasn’t happening, as Pelosi held onto the articles in an attempt to twist Senate Leader McConnell’s hand into conducting the Senate trial in a way that she deemed acceptable.

For his part, McConnell stated that the Senate is prepared to conduct the trial under the same bipartisan rules that 100 senators unanimously approved during Clinton’s trial in 1999.

In a telling moment on Thursday, Democratic Chairman Adam Smith came out against Pelosi’s stalling tactics, but was later forced to walk back his comments. Still, the pressure from the American public to deliver the articles of impeachment to the Senate proved too much for Pelosi to withstand, and on Friday, Pelosi announced that she will hand over the articles of impeachment to the Senate next week.

This latest chapter in the impeachment story further proves the partisan nature of Pelosi and Schiff’s impeachment sham.

Born Alive Act

The discharge petition for the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act received a new signature this week. Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey added his name, bringing the total number of signatures to 204.

218 signatures are needed in order to force Speaker Pelosi to schedule a vote for this bill on the House floor.

Iran War Powers Resolution

In response to the U.S. air strike against known terrorist Qassem Soleimani, the House voted 224-194 on Thursday to pass a resolution restricting the President’s ability to exercise his war powers against Iran.

The resolution sends Iran a dangerous signal that the United States is not unified in combating terrorism and defending itself. The President approved a military operation to destroy a terrorist already responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans. Congress should be commending the successful outcome instead of undermining our president and emboldening Iran.

USMCA Trade Deal

In an important step, the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday voted 25-3 to advance the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal.

The USMCA legislation was referred to six additional Senate committees that must still consider the legislation.
