It is my pleasure to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Brown). {time} 1815

I would just remind my colleagues that Ambassador Volker said that the attacks on Joe Biden were meritless, and he tried to persuade Mr. Giuliani that there was no factual support for them. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman…

I didn't think I would have to do another fact-check so quickly, but, of course, there was no preapproved witness list. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Meeks).

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and rise in support of the fiscal 2020 NDAA conference report. This legislation supports our national security and it also accomplishes long-sought Democratic priorities, like extending paid paternal…

The world is waiting to see if we will hold ourselves to the democratic principles we insist that others uphold.

The person who is really worried about the outcome is clearly President Trump, because he is reaching out to a foreign power asking them to help him cheat.

We must approve these Articles of Impeachment so we can make it clear that nobody in this country... is above the law.

Therefore, understanding and having sworn an oath to the Constitution, I am faced on making a decision on impeachment.

The Constitution reinforces the fact that we have the sole power of impeachment.

The President's misconduct is a part of a pattern.

The President had offered to give military aid if he got an investigation against his political rival.

We cannot accept a President who says America first, but really puts his own interests before the country.

The urgency of this impeachment, the reason why we cannot wait for the next election is that the President has tried to rig the last election and this one too.

We have a duty to protect our democracy. We owe it to the Framers of our Constitution.

The selling out of America's soul is all intended to protect one man, Donald Trump.

We are here to talk about the abuse of this President and the obstruction of Congress.

If the President can first abuse his power, and then stonewall all congressional requests for information, Congress cannot fulfill its duty.

This is not a coup, and it is irresponsible to label a constitutional process a coup. It is the responsibility of this committee to follow the Constitution.

President Trump's stonewall was complete, absolute, and without precedent in American history.

This is not a rush to judgment. It is a rush to justice.

The evidence proves that these requests were not related to any real interest in rooting out corruption.

the central issue of this impeachment is the corruption of our institutions that safeguard democracy by this President.

abuse of power was a principle concern of the Framers of the Constitution.

We cannot tolerate a President subverting the fairness and integrity of our elections.

the least we can do is show the courage to stand up tonight and do our part to protect our democracy.
