UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons said the institute aligns with the university\u2019s commitment to foster civil discourse and prepare students to lead with integrity on the global stage.

She continued during Democrat Barack Obama\u2019s first two years as president, helping muscle his landmark Affordable Care Act into law.<\/p>\n<p>The second stint served as a check on President Donald Trump, a Republican who was\u00a0impeached twice\u00a0by the House but acquitted in the Senate.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>One of Pelosi\u2019s most enduring images will be of her\u00a0tearing up\u00a0her copy of Trump\u2019s 2020 State of the Union address.
