Representative Jason Smith described the Senators as 'four people that's trying to fire the president of the United States.'
"I think a question that needs to be asked as the articles of impeachment move over to the United States Senate is will the four candidates for office, for president of the United States, be impartial jurors?" he asked in a press conference on Tuesday.
"How can they be impartial jurors?" the congressman asked. Continuing, he said:"I hope those four senators decide to recuse themselves."to a previous comment from the senator back in October when other Republicans raised the same concern."No, I would not recuse myself. It's part of my constitutional obligation," the congresswoman said at the time.
"A sitting United States Senator actively seeking the Presidency of the United States has a vested interest in the reputation and political future of an incumbent President of the United States who is currently serving his or her first term in office," House Resolution 744 states.
