On the recordSeptember 26, 2019

I am disgusted and appalled with the latest news about President Trump's behavior. He has repeatedly threatened the sanctity of our elections with his behavior. His latest call to the President of Ukraine is just par for the course with this administration. This is not the country I grew up in where the rules and law have to apply to everyone. No one man is above the law. This is not the way our elected officials should behave. The institutions of our country are meant for the people of this country, not for personal gain. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
