Topic: Commemorative Pens

Speaker Nancy Pelosi led a formal procession to transmit articles of impeachment against Donald Trump to the Senate. During the signing ceremony, Pelosi used multiple commemorative pens to sign the documents, subsequently handing them out to impeachment managers as souvenirs. This display was criticized as being "off-message" and celebratory, contradicting Pelosi's public stance that the impeachment was a somber and tragic historical necessity.
