On the recordApril 17, 2024
Madam President, reserving my right to object, to dismiss or table the Articles of Impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas without trial here today or in committee is an unprecedented move by Senator Schumer. Never before in the history of our Republic has the Senate dismissed or tabled Articles of Impeachment when the impeached individual was alive and had not resigned. As Senator Schumer said in 2020: A fair trial has witnesses. A fair trial has relevant documents, as part of the record. A fair trial seeks the truth. [Nothing] more, [nothing] less. I will not assist Senator Schumer in setting our Constitution ablaze and bulldozing 200 years of precedent. Therefore, I object. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection is heard. The majority leader.

Madam President, I will be brief and just sort of walk through this amendment. This is a good government amendment that I hope that everybody can get behind. The House omnibus includes a provision allowing the NTIA to capture 337 million…
