I have a theory, because I'm a mariner, that a captain of the ship has a right to choose who he has as his crew.

I will say that that's the responsibility of the President. President Biden has chosen Deb, and she has accepted.

I am quite proud of that fact--Alaska Natives and American Indians, and like you mentioned, it's long overdue...

If months of lies, organizing a rally of supporters in an effort to thwart the work of Congress, encouraging a crowd to march on the Capitol, and then taking no meaningful action to stop the violence once it began is not worthy of…

It is not debate. It is a point of inquiry on what we just voted on. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. That is not--I am advised that is not allowed during the vote.

Just a point of inquiry. There is a little confusion here. Was that a vote on one witness or many witnesses? The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Debate is not allowed during the vote. I advise the Senator from Alaska--

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. For the former President's counsel. Sorry about that.

I send a question to the desk for the former President's counsel. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Alaska, Senator Sullivan, has a question for the House counsel. The clerk will read the question. The legislative clerk read as…

Thank you, sir. The legislative clerk read as follows: The House manager said yesterday that due process is discretionary, meaning the House is not required to provide and, indeed, did not provide in this snap impeachment any…

I think the world of Michael Regan, and I will be voting against him for that reason.

Are you sure you don't want to hear that? I urge my colleagues to support this commonsense, pro-jobs amendment. And I am happy to take this amendment by a voice vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont. Point of Order

I call up my amendment No. 461 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendment by number. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Alaska [Mr. Sullivan]…
