I thank the minority whip for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I will say that the House will meet at 12 p.m. for morning-hour debate and 2 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed until 6:30 p.m. on Monday next. On Tuesday and Wednesday…

None of those individuals should take anything that was done personally. In fact, almost every one of those individuals was honored by people on this side of the aisle and that side of the aisle acknowledging them and honoring them with…

I thank the gentlewoman from the Virgin Islands (Ms. Plaskett) for yielding. I lament that, as Miss Gonzalez- Colon pointed out, she will not be able to vote on the final passage of this bill. I lament that Puerto Rico is not a State. If…

I thank the gentleman for his comment. First, let me talk about the prescription drug bill. We did pass a bill that was a compilation of six bills that had five Republican supporters when we voted on it. So there was a bipartisan bill. Let…

Starting a State of the Union with a shout of ``four more years'' reminds me more of a rally than a State of the Union. Clearly, neither the Speaker, nor any of us in any way diminished people that he introduced; some of whom I severely…

I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Hoyer moves that the resolution be laid on the table. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to lay the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I have not been on the floor to hear all of the debate, but it is interesting to hear how proworker the debate is from a party that has been responsible for opposing workers' protections, workers' wages…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on the motion to table will be followed by 5-minute votes on: Ordering the previous question…

I want to thank Mr. DeSaulnier for his leadership. I rise in very strong support of the PRO Act because it will restore the constitutional and civil rights of American citizens seeking to organize a union. We have to remember that the…

``I solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, President of the United States, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.'' That is the oath…

I ask for clarification. Obviously, the Parliamentarian--I think we ought to clarify this issue. If the document has been torn apart as is alleged, and as we know it was, that document, presumably, is not the document that was enrolled by…

The resolution is not on the floor, I don't think. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, no, the gentleman is correct. It was her intention. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Who seeks recognition?

I don't think that answered my question. My question was: Was the document that was destroyed or torn apart, the document that was to be enrolled by the House pursuant to my motion? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The House is able to use that…

Obviously, each of us had our own reaction to the speech that was given by the President last night. He had every right under the First Amendment to say what he believed, what he was going to do, and what he wanted us to do. I suggest to…

An additional question. Mr. Speaker, after the President had spoken the State of the Union and delivered that to the Congress of the United States, at the end of that session, I moved that that document be enrolled in the House proceedings…

The majority leader asserted in his comments that the document in question was the property of the House. Was, in fact, the document that the Speaker had to read the property of the House? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The message is part of…

Mr. President, when the Framers wrote the Constitution, they didn't think someone like me would serve as a U.S. Senator, but they did envision someone like Donald Trump being President of the United States, someone who thinks he is above…

That document did not exist according to the assertion of the Republican leader. It was destroyed. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The message is part of the proceedings of the House and can be used by the House for archival and printing…
