It means the world, and, Joy, I can`t tell you how grateful I was to see a U.S. president acting like a U.S. president.

Gone are the days of a president being the sycophant of a dictator like Vladimir Putin.

There’s no circumstance in which this president should get another intelligence briefing, not now. Not in the future. I don’t think he can be trusted with it now. And in the future, he certainly can’t be trusted.

I would like to believe that this is the day that America got off the road towards autocracy and got back on the path our Founders envisioned and that is of a Democratic republic.

Kevin McCarthy is as close as you'll find to pure ambition unadulterated by any sense of principle. That is sadly who he is.

1 week ago, the President incited an insurrection against Congress to prevent the peaceful transition of power. It was the most dangerous moment for our democracy in a century. Today, we invoke the remedy the Founders provided for just…

Well, you know, I have been thinking a lot about this question too, and I keep coming back to something that Robert Caro once wrote that power doesn't corrupt as much as it reveals. It shows us who we are.

He has done it before, he will do it again. What are the odds if left in office he will continue trying to cheat? I will tell you, 100 percent. He will continue trying to cheat in the election until he succeeds. Then what shall you say?

6 days ago, I was standing right here, fulfilling my constitutional duties to certify the election. And, 6 days ago, Donald Trump was on the Mall, whipping a mob into a frenzy with false claims of stolen elections and unconstitutional…

We moved with incredible alacrity to address this danger that the President poses every day he remains.

I would have liked to have seen more than 10 of the rest recognize that the severity of what this President did and the need, not only to remove him, but to telegraph to any future occupant of that office, that if a person does anything…

the President, of course, is the prime propagator of what about-ism. We've seen that for four years now.

After that failed insurrection, over 100 Republicans in the House went right back to where they left off, continuing the big lie about the election, continuing to try to discredit the electors from various states, and disenfranchise…

Mitch McConnell could absolutely reconvene the Senate earlier than that if he wanted to in order to start the Senate trial right away if he did really think that President Trump is an ongoing present danger to the republic.

Every day this man remains in office, he's a danger to the republic.

If Mitch McConnell wants to move with expedition, he knows how to do it.

The danger of him continuing to abuse his power will go up, not down, in the time remaining in his term.

By inciting this act of insurrection, President Trump has committed his worst offense against our country and Constitution to date.

If Mitch McConnell draws this out, delays, stonewalls and drags his heels, then he will bear the responsibility.

Congress should act to begin impeachment proceedings as the only instrument wholly within our power to remove a president who has so manifestly and repeatedly violated the Constitution and put our nation at great risk.

The exigency of the circumstances warrants a departure from the ordinary and lengthy process in the House.

A little more than 2 months ago, America performed an extraordinary feat. Under some of the most trying circumstances in our history, our fellow citizens conducted a free and fair election, vindicating our Founders' belief once again, that…

80 years ago today, Franklin Roosevelt delivered his third inaugural address. ``Every realist knows,'' he said, ``that the democratic way of life at this moment is being directly assailed in every part of the world--assailed either by…

We're going to try to keep the focus where it needs to be, on our Constitution, on the peaceful transition of power, and on the need to make sure this exercise of self-government continues and succeeds.
