American elections belong to the American people, not the American President and not foreign powers. No President may cheat the people by working with foreign governments to steal from us a free and fair election. And no President who…

I spent 12 years on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, including 4 as ranking member. My bipartisan cooperation with the Republican chairman was widely recognized. When it comes to national security, there is no room for…

It is unbelievable to the few Americans who are going to be watching this because they know what the outcome is. We all know what the outcome is. They are wondering: Why are we trying to negate the vote of 63 million Americans instead of…

Mr. President, I start by thanking my friend and colleague from West Virginia, Senator Manchin, for his remarks and for his steadfast support for workers throughout the United States of America and for working to try to bring us together…

I rise and thank Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking Member Granger for the hard work that they have done, and all of their staff. The staffs, I know, have been working around the clock on both sides of the aisle. I want to congratulate the staff…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The irony is that the reason we got cooperation in the Nixon case and in the Clinton case is because those administrations cooperated. This administration has absolutely not cooperated. The gentleman has…

We could go, I guess, all day on this. But the fact is, let me say, with that letter, the gentleman says 1 week. The fact of the matter is this President has been defying Congress for years in terms of giving it information it…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. First of all, of course, this is not the jury in the sense of a petit jury that is going to decide guilt and innocence. It is, from a lawyer's standpoint, more analogous to a grand jury, which simply…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I think I am speaking English. Let me repeat. What the Mueller report said was the Department of Justice policy was that they could not indict a sitting President of the United States. It went on to say…

Let me tell the gentleman very candidly, I have not discussed with Mr. Nadler or others on the Judiciary Committee that issue. So I really can't give you the rationale that was articulated by the chair or by others. I will say, however…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, my friend articulates many things that have no basis in fact and believes, in my view, that if he says it enough times that people will believe them. To that extent, I think he mirrors the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, the House will meet at noon for morning-hour debate and 2 p.m. for legislative business. Members are advised that no votes are expected in the House on Monday. Again, no votes on…

I thank the gentleman for his question. We don't have a specific day, but I will tell him that it is our intention, assuming that the administration gets the enabling legislation to us in a timely fashion, which is my expectation they will…

This could go on forever. Of course not. I didn't make that assertion. Don't put it in my mouth. My friend has every right, not only the President, but every citizen has the right to repair to the courts of the United States for redress of…

I appreciate the gentleman making the comment with respect to the Defense Department and the importance of funding them, and I agree with that. I want to point out that the same challenge applies to all the other agencies of government…

Ambassador Lighthizer, as I have said all along, we have perceived as an honest broker. I think he has dealt with us fairly and openly. Very frankly, we believe that the agreement that has now been finalized is substantially stronger and…

The good news is they didn't bring impeachment against President Obama because he did nothing to warrant such an action. How proud I am of that.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 216, nays 164, not voting 50, as follows: [Roll No. 675]…
