"Journal News" featured Pace University in "Hillary: 'Retire the incumbent' as House votes to impeach"

Hillary Clinton couldnt have picked a more historic day to be surrounded by some of her most ardent fans on home turf.

As the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee who lost to Trump after winning the popular vote by 3 million, took the stage at Pace University, just 4 miles away from her home in Chappaqua.

The House voted on Wednesday to impeach Trump for alleged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

It is a story of abuse of power, using the office of the president to further not the nation's objectives but his own personal political objectives," Hillary Clinton said at the Plesasantville event, moderated by singer Vanessa Williams. "The facts are not at dispute. This is not a he said, she said. This is what happened.

"It's really important to me that I do everything I can and make sure that we retire the incumbent regardless of what happens," she added.

Frank Cosentino of New Rochelle, said he was curious to hear Clintons take on the nature of politics today.

She won the popular vote by 3 million and didn't become president," he said. "And now the person that beat her is getting impeached. Its a crazy time.

The mother-daughter duo were at Pace to discuss their book, The Book of Gutsy Women with singer Vanessa Williams, a fellow Chappaqua resident.

One of our most precious rights as Americans is the right to determine who our leaders are.

The president abused his powers to cheat in the next election and rob us of that right. Then he obstructed Congress to cover it up.

Lori Gowen Morton, a member of Chappaqua Friends of Hill leading up to the 2016 election, came to Pace with her daughters Nora, 12, and Kelly, 9.

I find it particularly satisfying today to be in the company of strong women celebrating other strong women, she said.

I want my daughters to grow up with the confidence and resilience to pursue their own big ideas and overcome challenges and failures that come along the way.

Gowen Morton said she couldnt imagine a better role model for this than Hillary Clinton and the women whose stories she and Chelsea share in their book.

I also want them to grow up in a country that defends the ideals of our constitution, protecting our institutions from corruption, foreign interference and unchecked power.

Kathleen Troy, from Danbury, Connecticut, said history would look kindly on Hillary and see just how ugly this whole scene was.

I do think the election was stolen," she said. "It's historic today. And I'm also heartbroken about where we are and knowing how much better everything would have been with her.
