Political Quotes

I thank the gentleman from Tennessee for yielding and for his great work on this impeachment resolution. Mr. Speaker, Secretary Mayorkas' political career is on the chopping block, where it rightfully belongs. He has failed to apply the laws that would stop this invasion at the southern border. To those who claim that this impeachment is for purely political purposes, you are dead wrong. This is about upholding the rule of law that governs our Republic, the same rule of law that Secretary Mayorkas has ignored and forsaken every day. Secretary Mayorkas has had innumerable opportunities to enforce the laws that are already on the books but has chosen not to. He has earned his own impeachment. Let's be clear: Our entire constitutional system is predicated on the idea that Congress creates laws, and the executive branch enforces those laws. Allowing this abuse of our constitutional system to go unchecked could spell the beginning of the end for our Republic. I am proud to serve as a cosponsor of these impeachment articles. The rule of law must be restored at the border immediately.
