Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick issued a scathing rebuke of the House of Representatives following the Senate’s acquittal of Attorney General Ken Paxton. House Speaker Dade Phelan quickly responded that Patrick admitted his bias after promising to be an impartial judge in the trial.
Patrick went on to call for a constitutional amendment to change the rules for the impeachment process: When the House sends articles of impeachment to the Senate, the official in question should not be put on unpaid leave through the process. The federal system does not allow that. President Clinton and President Trump did not have to step down from their duties during their impeachment process. This is not a partisan issue.
