Examples of Chairman in a Sentence

1. Rand Paul:

2. Adam Schiff:

   We've reached the point, after the events of this week, where it would be very difficult to maintain the credibility of the investigation if the chairman did not recuse himself from matters involving either the Trump campaign or the Trump transition team of which he was a member, the questions are profound enough that I think we need to move past it, and ideally that would mean the chairman ought to recuse himself, not only from the investigation involving potential coordination or collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, but also any oversight of minimization issues affecting the Trump transition since he was a member of that Trump transition team.

3. White House:

   ( House) Speaker( Nancy) Pelosi and White House Democrats are running an unfair, unconstitutional and illegitimate' impeachment' proceeding.

The President can not be expected to participate in this illegitimate process.
