When I was sworn in to office, I made a commitment to support and defend the Constitution of these United States. Our President's latest actions have shown us that we cannot trust him to do the same. Whether it is a lapse of judgment or just plain inexperience, the pandemonium coming out of the White House is worse than a scene from ``House of Cards'' The method in which Trump chose to reveal classified intelligence to Russian officials--impulsive; The way Trump chose to fire FBI Director Comey--imprudent; And, if the latest reports are true, the way Trump chose to interfere with the FBI investigation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn-- impeachable. I don't use this last ``i'' word lightly, but for love of country and democracy, and as an American, I hope this is not true. If it is, this is a blatant obstruction of justice and a grave, grave offense. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
