Just a few minutes ago, a Member stood on this floor to charge the President of the United States with high crimes and misdemeanors and that he failed to faithfully execute his duties. As a member of the Judiciary Committee having participated in several impeachments, differences in policies, differences in parties does not reflect, at any time, a cause for impeachment. Mr. Speaker, let me express my appreciation on a different topic to the African American Police Officers League that had an outstanding program today of giving to young people scholarships and interacting with those young people. That kind of interaction fosters good police-community relationships. Since this is gun antiviolence month, it was good for these young people to be around police officers who live in their neighborhood, went to their high schools, and care about them and their families. This interaction makes a difference. This is the new policing, and I thank the African American Police Officers League and members of the Houston Police Department for recognizing how we work with our children and how we inspire them. Mr. Speaker, I thank AAPOL for their service. ____________________
