"Even the most hawkish members of our caucus have said they won't support that, he continued. So, I think it's gonna be very difficult. I think he keeps rattling the cage saying that. But as far as trying to buy it peacefully, you don't get purchasers to come around by berating them and telling them you'll take in anyway. So, I don't think that's very successful."
"I think it's my job as part of Congress to discuss and check and balance the presidential powers, but I don't think every time there's a dispute between the presidential powers and the congressional powers that that is something that we impeach people for. And yes, I was a defender of him in the first two impeachments. I thought they were partisan, and I think, for the most part, they're not good for the country."
Senator Rand Paul said congressional Republicans have not supported any plan to militarily invade or seize Greenland, noting even hawkish caucus members oppose such action. He said diplomatic purchase attempts require respectful negotiation rather than berating potential sellers. Paul indicated a second war powers resolution would be difficult to pass given limited Republican support. He said impeachment should remain extraordinary and not a routine response to constitutional disputes. Paul described his past defenses of the president in earlier impeachments as partisan and detrimental, and expressed hope for thorough debates without resorting to frequent impeachment.
