RESOLUTION ON PAXTON IMPEACHMENT TRIAL Whereas the Texas House of Representatives voted to impeach Ken Paxton when the General committee submitted a resolution recommending impeachment after conducting a process that was non-transparent, void of precedence in impeachment procedure, due process and due diligence as well as outside the knowledge of the rank and file members of the Texas House, and Whereas the General Investigations committee hired a group of partisan investigators and used second and third hand testimony gathered by this hired group, and Whereas the committee nor any other member of the Texas had an opportunity to question a single 1" hand witness, and Whereas there is no evidence any witnesses were under oath, and Whereas Ken Paxton was given no opportunity to speak to the committee or the House nor an opportunity to present evidence, and Whereas the Texas Supreme court has ruled in Reeves vs State of Texas code 665.081 means offenses used for impeachment must be after reelection not just after original election; therefore, many of the accusations in the resolution must be removed from impeachment consideration, and Whereas the OFFICIAL OATH OF OFFICE each legislator swears to Sec. 1. ("I, (name) do solemnly swear (or affirm), that I will faithfully execute the duties of the office of (elected office) of the State of Texas, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this State, so help me God.” and; Be It Resolved that guilt or innocence cannot be determined until all due process/diligence is conducted and therefore the Atascosa County Republican Party - Condemns those members of the Texas House who voted to impeach when there was no due process /diligence as part of the investigation - Calls for through lawful due diligence process be conducted at this time in full view of the Senate and House with at least 15% of the House members NOT voting YES included in the questioning of all relevant witnesses - Calls for the Senate to vote NO on impeachment UNTIL all the above issues are corrected and full due process has been accomplished.
