John Conyers actually said...

"In the history of our Republic, the House of Representatives has voted to impeach a Federal official only 19 times."

"We do not rush into it for short-term political gain, I'm sure."

"It seems to me a little bit overbroad. And I think that we ought to move a little bit more carefully on this."

"The power of impeachment is a solemn responsibility entrusted to the House of Representatives by the Constitution."
