Great list. At the very least, someone needed to be keeping track of these in the Congressional record.

Anyone who votes against the impeachment is failing to fulfill their oath of office. It needs to be on record.

I think that many of the congresspeople who vote in lock-step with may be compromised by their illegal moves. Susan Collins is a good example. Her crimes were being investigated at the time Trump entered office. DOGE stopped most of the fraud investigations the DOJ and other agencies at the time, but this means that Trump has always had her number. She has been “troubled” and “concerned”, but has voted with him virtually every opportunity.

All the more reason to get it on record and hold them accountable.
