U.S. Rep. Ted Budd, R-13, announced last week he will vote “no” on articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump after the House Judiciary Committee sent them to the House floor.
Meanwhile, Rep. Richard Hudson posted on social media Tuesday that House Democrats had “zero evidence President Donald J. Trump committed an impeachable offense.”
He continued, “They continue to prioritize impeachment over the American people, ignoring the long list of important things Congress needs to get done like lowering drug prices, securing the border and supporting our troops.”
WASHINGTON — The story of a Fort Bragg Green Beret with terminal cancer is prompting action on Capitol Hill.
Legislation named after a Fort Bragg, N.C., soldier that will allow some members of the military to file claims to be compensated by the government for medical malpractice is one step closer to being signed into law, after the House of Representatives passed the bill Wednesday.
It is a significant departure from decades of existing law — guided by the Feres Doctrine, so called because of a 1950 Supreme Court case — which prevents military service members from suing for compensation for injuries that were a result of military negligence.
