His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"korr":{"type":"authors","id":"11200","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"11200","found":true},"name":"Katie Orr","firstName":"Katie","lastName":"Orr","slug":"korr","email":"korr@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":[],"title":"KQED Contributor","bio":"Katie Orr was a Sacramento-based reporter for KQED's Politics and Government Desk, covering the state Capitol and a variety of issues including women in politics, voting and elections and legislation.

Democrats argued that the president's move to hold up a White House meeting and security assistance approved by Congress in exchange for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's announcing investigations of a Trump political opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden as well as his son Hunter, was an abuse of power. They say the White House directive to administration officials to refuse congressional request for both testimony and documents that committees had requested was obstruction of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's happening this week?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House Judiciary committee released \u003ca href=\"https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.house.gov/files/CRPT-116hrpt346.pdf\">a 658 page report\u003c/a> late Sunday evening that describes the two articles of impeachment against President Trump.

Accordingly, President Trump should be impeached and removed from office,\" the report states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House Rules Committee will meet on Tuesday to set the parameters for the debate and discuss any proposed changes to the Judiciary Committee's resolution. Any lawmaker who wishes to speak on the impeachment resolution can appear at the hearing. But the panel has nine Democrats and four Republicans so it is expected to vote to keep the text of the articles approved by the Judiciary Committee intact and set how many hours lawmakers will have to debate each of the two articles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Democratic leaders have scheduled a floor vote for Wednesday, according to two senior House Democratic leadership aides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on how much time leaders decide to set or how much time members take to speak on the floor, the debate could take most of the day.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters last week that she is not asking any of her members how they are voting. Democrats took control of the House in 2019 after a group of centrist Democrats won seats in 31 districts that Trump had carried in the 2016 election, and many of those members \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/14/787990097/on-verge-of-impeachment-vote-first-term-moderate-democrats-weigh-a-political-ris\">are still mulling over how they will vote\u003c/a>. Some admit that if they back impeachment, it could affect whether they are re-elected in 2020. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the speaker insists she's not weighing in with this group, saying, \"They'll make their own decisions. I don't say anything to them.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are any Republicans expected to break with their leaders on impeachment?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, Republicans voted unanimously against the House resolution starting the impeachment inquiry, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has sounded confident that the conference will again stick solidly behind the president. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., the No. 2 House GOP leader and the party's vote counter, is actively whipping votes against the articles, and the vote is viewed as a test of party loyalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If the House approves articles of impeachment, what happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the House resolution is approved, as is expected, it is transmitted to the Senate. Because it would be a \"privileged\" resolution, the Senate must set aside all other legislative business and take it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Articles of impeachment are compared to an indictment.

Democrats argued that the president's move to hold up a White House meeting and security assistance approved by Congress in exchange for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's announcing investigations of a Trump political opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden as well as his son Hunter, was an abuse of power. They say the White House directive to administration officials to refuse congressional request for both testimony and documents that committees had requested was obstruction of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's happening this week?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House Judiciary committee released \u003ca href=\"https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.house.gov/files/CRPT-116hrpt346.pdf\">a 658 page report\u003c/a> late Sunday evening that describes the two articles of impeachment against President Trump. It explains the charges and outlines the evidence Democratic investigators found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Taken together, the articles charge that President Trump has placed his personal, political interests above our national security, our free and fair elections, and our system of checks and balances. He has engaged in a pattern of misconduct that will continue if left unchecked. Accordingly, President Trump should be impeached and removed from office,\" the report states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House Rules Committee will meet on Tuesday to set the parameters for the debate and discuss any proposed changes to the Judiciary Committee's resolution. Any lawmaker who wishes to speak on the impeachment resolution can appear at the hearing. But the panel has nine Democrats and four Republicans so it is expected to vote to keep the text of the articles approved by the Judiciary Committee intact and set how many hours lawmakers will have to debate each of the two articles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Democratic leaders have scheduled a floor vote for Wednesday, according to two senior House Democratic leadership aides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on how much time leaders decide to set or how much time members take to speak on the floor, the debate could take most of the day. If it goes late into the evening, there is a chance leaders will shift the final vote to Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will there be Democratic defections?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, but it's unclear how many.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters last week that she is not asking any of her members how they are voting. Democrats took control of the House in 2019 after a group of centrist Democrats won seats in 31 districts that Trump had carried in the 2016 election, and many of those members \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/14/787990097/on-verge-of-impeachment-vote-first-term-moderate-democrats-weigh-a-political-ris\">are still mulling over how they will vote\u003c/a>. Some admit that if they back impeachment, it could affect whether they are re-elected in 2020. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the speaker insists she's not weighing in with this group, saying, \"They'll make their own decisions. I don't say anything to them.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are any Republicans expected to break with their leaders on impeachment?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, Republicans voted unanimously against the House resolution starting the impeachment inquiry, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has sounded confident that the conference will again stick solidly behind the president. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., the No. 2 House GOP leader and the party's vote counter, is actively whipping votes against the articles, and the vote is viewed as a test of party loyalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If the House approves articles of impeachment, what happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the House resolution is approved, as is expected, it is transmitted to the Senate. Because it would be a \"privileged\" resolution, the Senate must set aside all other legislative business and take it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Articles of impeachment are compared to an indictment. The Senate is designated as the chamber that tries the case, with all 100 senators acting as jurors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi will appoint impeachment managers from among House Democrats to play the role of prosecutors.
