WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 -- Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, issued the following statement regarding the legislation (H.Res. 755) impeaching President Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors:

Impeachment is an extreme remedy, which, in effect, alters a decision made by the American people through an election. . . .
