I introduced a bill this Congress. I want you to know of it. I know you are not here to advocate for any legislation. The Undetectable Firearms Modernization Act, which would prohibit the possession of any firearm that is undetectable by…
I will with somberness of purpose, yet with confidence in our Constitution, be voting no on this amendment and be voting yes on these Articles of Impeachment.
What are you afraid of? This country was built by those who were brave enough to stand up against King George.
President Trump has made compliance with every demand a condition of even considering whether to honor subpoenas.
It is unnecessary for the House to go to the court to enforce subpoenas issued pursuant to an impeachment investigation.
The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other officers and shall have the sole power of impeachment.
This is not about punishment or hate. It is about love. It is about love of this country, it is about protecting this country, and our precious Constitution, for all Americans yet to come.
The President's ongoing pattern of conduct threatens our most precious rights as Americans: the rights to choose our own leaders and hold them accountable.
He has abused the power of his office as President for personal gain, including his corrupt scheme to win reelection.
The evidence shows the President's wrongdoings. They are as clear as they are dangerous.
As Members of Congress we are entrusted with a generational duty, a duty to ensure that we leave our grandchildren with a Constitution as strong or even stronger than our predecessors gave us.

What is plain is that "wait" means "never." We must not let this President disregard, defy, and delay justice.
Words matter. ... The Constitution explicitly lays out that a President may be impeached for treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors.
Congress needs to provide strong oversight to ensure that those statutes are followed.
A lot of it is fear on the part of the bureaucrats who are supposed to be conducting background checks on these individuals. They're afraid to approve anyone.
They're putting themselves in extreme danger. Many of them have been killed, their family members have been murdered because they've sided with the United States in a conflict overseas.
We can't operate in those countries effectively if we don't have people by our side who speak the local language and understand the local culture.
I'm not in favor of naturalizing anybody who doesn't meet the requirements to become an American citizen, and certainly a foreign spy does not meet the requirements to become an American citizen.
The problem has been canceled. It's a problem that existed during World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War.
