On the recordJanuary 12, 2021
I stand before the House floor today alarmed--alarmed that just days ago a sitting President stirred up a deadly attack on our U.S. Capitol. I join my colleagues in calling on Vice President Pence to activate Section 4 of the 25th Amendment. It has become abundantly clear that this President has threatened our democratic system, has interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and has endangered an equal branch of government. The President of the United States is unhinged, unfit, and unstable, or as we say in my district, ``esta loco el hombre,'' to the point where he is willing to tear our democracy down unless he prevails in his quest to overturn the election that he clearly lost. The actions taken by this President and those who enable him show that he is unfit to uphold the duties of his office. For the sake of our Nation's security, this President must be swiftly removed. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
