I don't think that answered my question. My question was: Was the document that was destroyed or torn apart, the document that was to be enrolled by the House pursuant to my motion? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The House is able to use that…

``I solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, President of the United States, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.'' That is the oath…

The resolution is not on the floor, I don't think. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, no, the gentleman is correct. It was her intention. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Who seeks recognition?

Obviously, each of us had our own reaction to the speech that was given by the President last night. He had every right under the First Amendment to say what he believed, what he was going to do, and what he wanted us to do. I suggest to…

An additional question. Mr. Speaker, after the President had spoken the State of the Union and delivered that to the Congress of the United States, at the end of that session, I moved that that document be enrolled in the House proceedings…

I ask for clarification. Obviously, the Parliamentarian--I think we ought to clarify this issue. If the document has been torn apart as is alleged, and as we know it was, that document, presumably, is not the document that was enrolled by…

The majority leader asserted in his comments that the document in question was the property of the House. Was, in fact, the document that the Speaker had to read the property of the House? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The message is part of…

That document did not exist according to the assertion of the Republican leader. It was destroyed. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The message is part of the proceedings of the House and can be used by the House for archival and printing…

There is no sham here. We have debated this proposition. This is the second time we have debated it, and it has passed twice. There is no sham here. I will talk about the MTR sham that you are arguing about at a later time. But this is on…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. This is not a resolution to go to war. My friend, the minority leader, wrote me a letter and implied that it was. These two bills are about the Constitution and about the awesome responsibility placed…

I come to the floor this afternoon with a number of my Democratic colleagues to speak about the subject of paramount concern for most Americans: the economy. Healthcare, the economy, and their jobs are what folks are focused on when they…

We have gone through and are going through a serious time in our country. The Senate is engaged, as was said the other day, in one of its most important duties and responsibilities. This weekend, a draft of the upcoming book by President…

I thank Congressman Beyer, and I appreciate his leadership on the Joint Economic Committee. I am now pleased to yield to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Neal), one of the senior Members of the House of Representatives, the dean of…

I thank the gentleman for his comments, and I hope the American people really focus on this. So much has been said by both sides that the American people really need to look at this themselves and figure out when did they do well, when did…

I thank the gentlewoman for her comments. Madam Speaker, how much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I thank the gentleman for his comments, and I thank him for his leadership on the Budget Committee. I might say, as a result of his work, last year, 2019, we completed the appropriations process. Unlike the previous year, when our…

I thank the gentleman for his comments; for his leadership on the minimum wage, to try to lift people up at the bottom of the wage scale; and also for his leadership on healthcare, to ensure that they have access to affordable, quality…

I thank the gentlewoman for her comments. I am now pleased to yield to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), one of the senior Members of the House of Representatives, the chair of the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education…

I send to the desk a privileged concurrent resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the concurrent resolution, as follows: H. Con Res. 86 Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That the…

I thank the gentlewoman for her comments, and I know that she is working her district very, very hard, and listening to people, which is what we need to do. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Adams), who is…

Kathy, members of the Fitzpatrick family, and Members on both sides of the aisle from Pennsylvania who have lost a dear colleague with whom they served; he served with honor. He served with civility. He served as an example. Madam Speaker…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. First of all, the Constitution does not provide for a trial in the House of Representatives, period. However, Mr. Speaker, the minority continues to make the analogy of what is done in the House…

The gentleman, I don't know what analogy he is using to process, but what he just said would effectively say, if the witnesses weren't called and presented in the grand jury, then the defense attorney can't call them, then the prosecutor…

We did not have a trial. The Constitution does not require a trial. We are not the trial forum. The Senate is the trial forum. Certainly the gentleman has watched enough television trials, maybe been in trials for all I know, I am a…

I thank the gentleman for his question. As to the issue of authorizations of military force consistent with the War Powers Act and consistent with the Constitution of the United States, which sets forth clearly that it is the Congress and…
