First on impeachment. Today, there\u2019s going to be a debate over the constitutionality of the process, whether it\u2019s constitutional to try and try to remove from office of former president. Does President Biden have any concerns that this trial could set a dangerous precedent for the institution of the presidency?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>JEN PSAKI, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: Well, President Biden, we put out a statement following the conclusion of the House vote just a couple of weeks ago, and he made clear in that statement that he felt the process should proceed as history and many laws predetermined, and he is going to wait for the Senate to determine the outcome of this. But his view is that his role should be currently focused on addressing the needs of the American people, putting people back to work, addressing the pandemic.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>WELKER: Does he see it as constitutional?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>PSAKI: I don\u2019t think that\u2019s for me or us to opine one. Obviously, he said that the process should proceed, and it\u2019s doing exactly that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>WELKER: Let me ask you, as millions of people tune in to watch this trial presumably throughout the week, they\u2019re going to see the former president\u2019s lawyers argue based on the briefs that they have filed that some Democrats have used incendiary rhetoric. They are going to point to Representative Maxine Waters, for example, who in 2018 called on supporters at a rally to confront and at one point harass Trump officials over their support of the child separation policy, the zero tolerance policy.
