Jamie Raskin “was born in Washington, D.C. on December 13, 1962, to Barbara (née Bellman) Raskin and Marcus Raskin. His mother was a journalist and novelist, and his father was a former staff aide to President John F. Kennedy on the National Security Council, co-founder of the Institute for Policy Studies, and a progressive activist. Raskin graduated from Georgetown Day School in 1979 and obtained a Bachelor of Arts magna cum laude from Harvard College in 1983. In 1987, he received a J.D. degree magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review.”
“Raskin was a constitutional law professor at American University Washington College of Law for over 25 years, where he taught future fellow impeachment manager Stacey Plaskett. He co-founded and directed the LL.M. program on law and government and co-founded the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project. From 1989 to 1990, Raskin also served as general counsel for Jesse Jackson’s National Rainbow Coalition. In 1996, he represented Ross Perot over Perot’s exclusion from the 1996 United States presidential debates.”
“As his first action in Congress, Raskin and several other members of House of Representatives objected to certifying the election of Donald Trump as president because of Russian interference in the election and voter suppression efforts. Vice President Joe Biden ruled the objection out of order because it had to be sponsored by at least one member of each chamber, and it had no Senate sponsor. In late June 2017, Raskin was the chief sponsor of legislation to establish a congressional ‘oversight’ commission with the authority to declare a President ‘incapacitated’” and removed from office under the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution.”
“He was the primary author of the impeachment article, along with Representatives David Cicilline and Ted Lieu, which charged Trump with inciting an insurrection on the United States Capitol. Raskin in the Senate trial recounted that his daughter was visiting the Capitol on January 6 as the mob was forceably entering and she said to him, ‘Dad, I don’t want to come back to the Capitol’.”
“He is married to Sarah Bloom Raskin, who served as the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation, from 2007 to 2010, and was nominated by President Barack Obama to the Federal Reserve Board on April 28, 2010. On October 4, 2010, she was sworn in as a governor of the Federal Reserve Board by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. She served as the United States Deputy Secretary of the Treasury from March 19, 2014 to January 20, 2017.”
