向总统施压？ 众议院民主党人说没那么快
民主党人正在为他们获得众议院多数党席位后制定一个愿景，但在他们待办事项的清单上有一项明显缺少：弹劾特朗普总统。
他们正在为公共政策项目制定行动计划，包括降低医保成本，加强政府监督等。 但弹劾肯定是边缘性的。
这是众议院民主党领袖佩洛西试图在新国会中要保持的平衡。
一方面，民主党的左翼人士迫切希望与特朗普总统对抗，但佩洛西的本能是优先考虑民主党向选举他们上任的选民们所作的民生问题上的承诺。
众议院各委员会的民主党领袖们将对特朗普总统和白宫的行为进行监督，但目标是一步一步来。
Impeach the President? House Democrats Saying Not So Fast
House Democrats are laying out a vision for their new majority, and there's one item that's noticeably missing from the to-do list: President Donald Trump's impeachment.
They're putting in motion plans for spending on public works projects, lowering health care costs and increasing government oversight. But impeachment is firmly on the margins.
It's the balance that Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is trying to strike in the new Congress.
On the one hand, the Democrats' left flank is eager to confront the president. But Pelosi's instinct is to prioritize the kitchen-table promises that Democrats made to voters who elected them to office.
Democratic leaders of House committees will be conducting oversight of the president's business and White House dealings. The goal is to take it one step at a time.
