John Conyers

I think our colleagues are wrong to oppose this resolution and wrong to attack the investigation and findings turned over to the House.

I believe that ignoring the President's situation will force our nation to endure this pain even longer.

The gentleman from New York and in support of the motion to recommit so that this body could have before it the question as to whether or not we can vote for censure.

The gentleman from New York and the incoming rules chairman the gentleman from California, do not allow the interjection of nonprivileged matter into privileged matter by amendment.

The gentleman from Massachusetts wish to be heard on the point of order?

The gentleman from Texas, the best argument that the majority has made thus far, focused on upholding the rule of law.

I ask the Chair to put the question directly to the House.

I believe there is only one governing principle here today because of a lack of legislative precedents and action, and that is the Constitution.

I urge you to continue your reputation of fairness and sustain this point of order.

I reserve a point of order against the motion to recommit.

I believe history will record that on this day, the House of the People, through searing partisanship, disallowed the right of each Member to express his or her own conscience.

I believe that a severe censure and substantial fine is the most appropriate method to punish the President's extremely reprehensible behavior.

I believe the word other' in the phase treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors' was precisely selected by the authors of the Constitution (emphasis added).

I believe that the president can no longer effectively perform the duties and responsibilities for which he was elected.

I believe there are two reasons why there is much more consensus on this issue than has been perceived by either ourselves in the House of Representatives or the people of the United States.

I believed a full and fair review of the serious charges of misconduct against the President was the only way to seek the truth.

I believe that the process by which the House of Representatives has approached this matter has become tainted and unfair.

I believe the evidence of perjury before the grand jury and obstruction of justice meet the clear and convincing'' threshold for moving the process forward.

I believe that's a lot of what Bill Clinton's problems really are at the end of the day.

I think I need to come now'' because they never got out of the clothing department of Wal-Mart to figure out what people thought about the president.

I think, remains that the president did something wrong, that he should be held accountable for his actions and that he should not be impeached.

I think the president should set a standard for all the citizens in this country, and I think we all ought to be able to agree on what the word alone'' means.

I think that's where the nub of it is--that the Jones matter was something prior to the president becoming president of the United States.

I think if you were looking at the--a president of a Fortune 500 corporation, you'd be talking about a suit that was brought by, perhaps, someone prior to them taking that position and---- Rep.

I think there is compelling evidence here that points to the conclusion that the president engaged in a pattern of lying under oath and other misconduct.
