President Trump has not only abused his power for the upcoming election, he used a foreign power to do it.

the idea that the Founding Fathers in 1789 would be considering the U.S. Code precedent... is simply ridiculous.

Lying under oath is a crime. Lying about sex is a shame. But neither one involved the use of Presidential powers.

The Founders knew that the powers given to the President needed to have the capacity to be curbed in the case of abuse.

The President must take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

We have a right to make a judgment on the information that we have been able to obtain because impeachment is solely in the province of the Congress.

It was undertaken for his personal political advantage and not in furtherance of any valid national political objective.

Wherefore, William Jefferson Clinton, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial and removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.

I applaud Congresswoman Maloney's use of this new calendar, and I am pleased to now exercise our Committee's jurisdiction during this markup.

I was grateful that Mr. Davis joined me in sending that letter to the Appropriations Committee.

I would happily yield to Mr. Davis for further comments he might have.

The contributions and experiences of American women deserve celebration and recognition, and I can think of few better ways to do so than by establishing a women's history museum at the Smithsonian.

This resolution establishes the Congressional Gold Star Family Fellowship Program, which will provide fellowships in congressional offices for immediate family members of the Armed Forces who have given their lives in service to this…

Listening to my colleague, the ranking member, reminded me of when I ran for Congress the very first time. My children were in elementary school. Really, the high point of every day was going to the elementary school, Horace Mann…

Reclaiming my time, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I think the gentlewoman has made a very good point that this is discretionary on the part of the candidate, but it is a point that we also need to make: This has nothing to do…

I think this has been an excellent debate highlighting the bipartisan support for this fellowship, a bipartisan gratitude to those who served and those who gave their lives for this country and for the families they left behind. There is…
