“I might add that I want to again honor the Constitution by what we do today. I think we all share that. And while the polls seem to show one thing, they also seem to show that many people would like this President to resign, in fact a majority of the people polled. But we cannot govern this country by polls. We have to be responsible today. It is not our job to create or invent solutions beyond the authority of this House. We must match our power with the authority that the Constitution gives us. In light of that, I want to speak briefly and add on to what the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gekas) has said about Article II of the impeachment articles. It is clear there is compelling testimony that in addition to the interrogatories that were answered under oath by this President, falsely, there was also testimony given that was false in the deposition that was taken after those interrogatories. On numerous occasions the President lied under oath, and there is compelling evidence that this occurred.”
