narrow case that they felt would be easiest to defend and explain. >> you will go from 60 today to 30s tomorrow and any of that moisture as it pushes through will change over to snow. six people are confirmed dead and eight people are still missing but those people are also believed to have been killed. >> the report matters now because of its political implications. the republicans say this exposes wrongdoing by the fbi and democrats say it proves the investigation was legitimate. we remember the legacy of pete, the guy who inspired the ice bucket challenge, the 34-year-old died yesterday after battling als for nearly eight years. >> that's travis morris, part of the fresno state university marching band and this video of him has gone viral. ♪ and boy does he have some energy. >> he has a lot of energy. >> if this doesn't wake you up,
8:02 am
well, i don't know what will. >> i'm thinking that's somebody that loves their job. may we all feel like that. welcome back to "cbs this morning." breaking news so we'll begin from capitol hill where the house of representatives has drafted articles of impeachment against a u.s. president. a short time ago house speaker nancy pelosi and other democratic leaders formally presented two articles of impeachment against president trump. now they allege abuse of power and obstruction of congress. >> our president holds the ultimate public trust. when he betrays that trust and puts himself before country, he endangers the constitution, he endangers our democracy, and he endangers our national security. >> wells this morning the president called all this, quote, political madness to try to impeach him saying he's done nothing wrong. nancy cordes is on capitol hill for us.
8:03 am
good morning again. what's the reasoning that led to these two articles? >> well, we know that democrats have decided to narrow the scope of impeachment to the two articles of impeachment that they believe are the easiest to prove and backed up by the most evidence. the first is abuse of power. democrats say that the president used his office for personal gain, contrary to the national interest when he pressured ukraine to investigate his campaign rival joe biden. they say the leverage he used with was $400 million in military aid to ukraine and a white house meeting sought by the new ukrainian president. the second article of impeachment is obstruction of congress. and that has to do with the president's refusal to cooperate with this inquiry. blocking top aides from testifying despite subpoenas and refusing to hand over key documents. this will be just the fourth time in u.s. history that articles of impeachment have been brought against a
8:04 am
president. andrew johnson was impeached back in 1868 and bill clinton was impeached in 1998. though the senate would go on to acquit both of them. the house judiciary committee approved three articles against richard nixon in 1974 but he resigned before the full house could vote. the articles against mr. trump could be approved in the judiciary committee this week, which would set up a full house vote by early next week before the house goes home for the holidays. gayle? >> all right. nancy, got it, thank you very much. cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman joins us at the table to discuss. welcome. >> thank you. >> are you surprised by the speed and these two articles? >> i think it's faster than the speed of light, and i think that one of the reasons for that is that the conclusion was made by the democrats that the abuse of power in and of itself represents a clear and present danger to use their phrase to
8:05 am
the 2020 elections and to national security. so it had to be done now. they could not wait. >> there was talk of including obstruction of justice regarding the mueller report, but that's not here. >> there was -- >> and bribery too. >> bribery or extortion, bribery, of course, named in the constitution as to one of the high crimes and misdemeanors, bribery and treason, but ultimately abuse of power was what we were looking at. you had 17 witnesses who testified in the initial hearings before the intelligence committee, and those 17 witnesses, career diplomats, people who were not political, they really talked of a story that wreaked of abuse of power. and then you had the constitutional lawyers who were saying if this is not impeachable, i don't know what is. so choice, narrow or wide? well, narrow because of clear and present danger. if you go wide, if you were
8:06 am
going to go back into the mueller report and look at those enumerated acts of corruption, then you were going to get into one of these contests that people would be spitting at each other across the aisle. >> they're going to do that already. >> they would say this has been decided. but this abuse of power and the obstruction of congress, because congress was not permitted to call witnesses and get documents, from the key people, john bolton, mike pompeo. >> when you lay it out that way with the witnesses that were called it sounds like the democrats have a very strong case but the republicans see it as you know differently. >> yes, they do. >> nothing to see here. >> one of the things is the democrats have a substantive case and if you are a democrat or you could be an independent who could be swayed, they are giving you actual factual arguments. the facts are not disputed here. the republicans on the other hand are giving you process arguments. >> if this goes to the senate it's going to be run by the republican. >> and it is going to be run by
8:07 am
mitch mcconnell, less we forget. the power to impeach rest in the house. the trial of an impeachment rest in the senate. although john roberts, the chief justice gets to reside in the senate, what will happen in the senate will be up to mitch mcconnell. and if i were a betting woman, i would say what the republicans are going to try to do is put joe biden and his son hunter biden on trial as well as ukraine and this completely false, absolutely debunked theory, that it was ukraine that really messed up into interfering in the 2016 elections. we've seen it at these hearings. the republicans will not let this go. >> you're saying it could be a big mess. >> or a circus. >> rikki klieman thank you. the economy is still producing a lot of new jobs. jill schlesinger is in our toyota green room. hey, jill. she's happy this morning.
