(WASHINGTON, DC)— Congressman Mike Rogers announced today he was cosponsoring his colleague Congressman Jason Smith’s (R-MO) legislation urging the Senate to change its rules on impeachment by requiring sitting U.S. Senators running for president to recuse themselves from an impeachment trial.

            “This is just common-sense and fair.  Clearly, none of the Democrats running for president will be impartial during an impeachment trial and they will all use their involvement in the trial to ramp up their campaigns.  As unfair as the House witch hunt has been all along, I am hopeful the upper chamber will be just in their treatment of President Trump,” Rogers said. 

            Rogers serves as Ranking Member on the Committee on Homeland Security and a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee.
