This is what you call a constitutional crisis
Article 1: Section 2 of the constitution states that impeachment is the “sole” power of House of Representatives. This gives the House broad leeway in how to conduct an actual impeachment trial, and full control of any process for investigating wrongdoing.
The letter reads less like a cogent legal argument than a regurgitation of Trump’s top impeachment talking points dressed up in legalese.President Trump took the unprecedented step of providing the public transparency by declassifying and releasing the record of his call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine…. That record clearly established
that the call was completely appropriate, that the President did nothing wrong, and that there is no basis for an impeachment inquiry.Put simply, you seek to overturn the results of the 2016 election and deprive the American people of the President they have freely chosen.
House leadership claims to have initiated the gravest inter-branch conflict contemplated under our Constitution by means of nothing more than a press conference at which the Speaker of the House simply announced an “official impeachment inquiry.” Your contrived process is unprecedented in the history of the Nation, and lacks the necessary authorization for a valid impeachment proceeding.
The President cannot allow your constitutionally illegitimate proceedings to distract him and those in the Executive Branch from their work on behalf of the American people.
