Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise in support of this impeachment resolution. As Chairman Green of the Homeland Security Committee has reminded our committee often in recent weeks, James Madison, the father of our Constitution, said: ``If an unworthy man be continued in office by an unworthy President, the House of Representatives can at any time impeach him, and the Senate can remove him, whether the President chooses or not.'' This impeachment is not about policy difference, though we have them. It is absolutely because Secretary Mayorkas refuses to enforce the laws that are a part of our Nation's fabric. The rule of law matters. Nobody is above it, including Secretary Mayorkas. Contrary to what he and the President publicly claim, no new laws are needed to stop this crisis. They have created it. Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act already grants them the authority to holler halt. We know Secretary Mayorkas is aware of this provision. On day 5 of the Biden administration, the President suspended entry by those coming from the U.K., Ireland, Brazil, and South Africa. Secretary Mayorkas has left us with no other option other than impeachment because he refuses to enforce the law.”
