 an article of impeachment shall be automatically placed before Senate in accordance with Article I, Section 0, Clause 0 of the Constitution and thus considered accordingly.  While I recognize that I haven't been engaged with the Senate, I have done my best to remain active during some particularly busy days for me, and I believe this impeachment effort by Griffin to be nothing more than a publicity stunt.  I strongly believe that no impeachable offenses were committed by me and the Vice-President, and I humbly ask the Senate to reject these articles of impeachment.
