Mr. Chairman, this issue has been fully vented by this House, I would suggest, it has been discussed in committee, in general the concept of community service, and now the gentleman from North Carolina offers this amendment which requires compensation. Let me, if I can, just ask if the gentleman from North Carolina would engage me, if I could just ask some questions about this so I will understand. The amendment, as I understand it, requires compensation. I wonder if the gentleman can tell me who would pay and what would be the mechanism for enforcement.

Primarily, really, it's an opportunity, for Congress, to make a statement, about a standard, a minimal standard, of ethics, and honesty, and virtue.
He's ineffective. And he will be ineffective, for two years, if he stays that long. And he should not stay that long.
I think number one that, you know, Donald Trump is not going to have a hard sell to explain or to persuade the American public that Hillary Clinton is not particularly trustworthy, that she's got ethical issues.
Do I think he might - maybe should think a little bit longer-term, about the perception, of the party, of tolerating unethical, probably illegal behavior? Absolutely.
