The good news is they didn't bring impeachment against President Obama because he did nothing to warrant such an action. How proud I am of that.

Ambassador Lighthizer, as I have said all along, we have perceived as an honest broker. I think he has dealt with us fairly and openly. Very frankly, we believe that the agreement that has now been finalized is substantially stronger and…

This could go on forever. Of course not. I didn't make that assertion. Don't put it in my mouth. My friend has every right, not only the President, but every citizen has the right to repair to the courts of the United States for redress of…

I want to thank the ranking member for his service and the chairman for his service. I also want to thank the staff. It has been an extraordinarily arduous, sleep-depriving and angst-creating process, I know, to get this bill from this…

What we do know, by the facts, is that the President abused his power. The gentleman does not want to speak to that, Madam Speaker. We do know the facts that were testified to in the committee. The gentleman, like the President, seeks to…

The gentleman said he was in my position of not having a lot of information, yet he makes conclusions, assertions, and accusations that I believe are not based in fact. He continues the process argument that the Republicans have made over…

Apparently he got $391 million to say he wasn't intimidated. The witnesses to which the Republican whip referred, 75 percent of those witnesses, three out of four, said they believed that the offenses that were testified to by some members…

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I apologize for a little bit of lateness here. On Monday, Madam Speaker, the House will meet at 12 p.m. for morning hour debate and 2 p.m. for legislative business with votes postponed until 6:30…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, what he said was he thought there was, in fact, a quid pro quo. Of course, as the gentleman points out, he had a bias: a substantial contributor to Mr. Trump, appointed by Mr. Trump as…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. One of the facets of this conversation always is that, I believe, the Republican whip adopts premises that are not supported by the evidence. Ambassador Sondland, a contributor of $100,000, maybe more…

I will say to the gentleman that I don't accept his premise that Mr. Schiff or the committee spied on anybody. They do have records, apparently. The gentleman asked me how deep my knowledge is. And I will tell him, frankly, not very deep…

The answer is, I hope so. As the gentleman probably knows, we have made some proposals back. Mr. Neal has talked to representatives from the Mexican Government about this and representatives of the Canadian Government about the enforcement…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, there are few alliances as critical to America's national security, to global stability, and to our Nation's values as the U.S.-Israel relationship. Israel and America share common values…

I thank the chairman of the Judiciary Committee for yielding me time, and I thank him for his leadership. And, of course, I thank Terri Sewell, who is from Selma, Alabama, who has been a fighter for voting rights all of her life. I thank…

I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Hoyer moves to lay the appeal on the table. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to table. The…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I want to thank Mrs. Lowey and Ms. Granger for their leadership on this committee. I want them to know that I appreciate their commitment to doing the appropriations process the way we are supposed to…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I just make one additional comment. It is ironic that the minority whip, Madam Speaker, addresses such great concern about funding the Armed Forces of the United States. We passed a bill at a figure that…

I would say that is not accurate. But having said that, we hope we can move forward. But to absolve the United States Senate, led by Republicans, have a majority of Republicans controlling the Senate Committee on Appropriations and…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I would advise all Members on both sides of the aisle not to schedule any business outside of Washington, D.C., between the 16th and the 20th of next month. And I will advise them further…

The gentleman talks about a bipartisan agreement. He does not talk about the stark fact that the House did its job. We passed bills. We passed 96 percent of the funding of the government. The Senate, led by Republicans, prior to the end of…

I am advising all Members to ensure that their schedules accommodate sessions between the 16th and the 20th of December, which was originally, as the gentleman points out, not scheduled. But that was on the thought that we would rationally…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. On Monday, the House will meet at 12 p.m. for morning-hour debate and 2 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed until 6:30 p.m. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the House will meet at 10 a.m. for…

We are involved in a very serious process to determine whether the President of the United States has committed high crimes and misdemeanors. The Constitution provides for the removal of high officials who violate their oath of office, who…

I thank the chairwoman for yielding. And I thank Mr. McHenry for his work on the committee. Mr. Chair, I say to Mr. McHenry: There is still time to get well. Mr. Chair, I rise in strong support of this legislation. I have been the majority…

I thank the gentlewoman. It takes care of the challenge that we had when there was no quorum, and the fact that we had no quorum was all about politics. Don't make this about politics as well. An estimate of 80,000 jobs, $150 billion lost…
