Just to clarify, this provision about suspending the rule about personalities is so that we can have a full and frank discussion of just why the request is being made to invoke the 25th Amendment and just why this President should be impeached. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to describe the high crimes and misdemeanors and other misconduct which forms the basis of those requests if that rule were not suspended. As I mentioned in my opening, we don't view this as a partisan resolution. We have Members from all sides of the political spectrum now calling for the removal of this President. Members might want to check their news feed to see the growing list of civic, business, and religious leaders from across the country who have said: Enough is enough. This President is a clear and present danger. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

I know that it is rare in D.C., but this amendment actually has broad bipartisan support, from the far right, from the far left, and from the middle. We just want to release the Epstein files. That is why we have offered the amendment, and…
