I asked this same question earlier today!
Wasn’t Trump impeached for holding up arms shipments?
Be fun to hear the arguments made by Dems about that action by Trump back then.
From when Trump / Ukraine:
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) is asking the Government Accountability Office (GAO) for an opinion on the legality of President Trump’s decision to hold up Ukraine aid.
Van Hollen sent a letter on Monday to Gene Dodaro, the GAO comptroller general, outlining why he believes Trump’s decision violated the Impoundment Control Act (ICA), which restricts a president’s ability to withhold funds appropriated by Congress.
“The Administration has failed to even state a legal reason under the ICA for its withholding of security assistance for Ukraine, and the evidence refutes the Administration’s stated reasons,” Van Hollen wrote in the letter, which was obtained by The Hill ahead of its release.
“The Administration must be held accountable for its
violations of the ICA, or we will open the floodgates for this and future Administrations to violate the ICA with impunity,” Van Hollen continued.
The GAO announced last month that it was probing Trump’s decision to delay $400 million in security assistance to Ukraine. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has said it followed the correct procedures in holding the funding, which was released in mid-September.
He was impeached because of the phone call, but I think that was added to the articles of impeachment.
Same thing here, I don’t know that Biden violated the law, but reminding voters that he ignored an ally in their time of need is going to hurt him.
