We must defend our democracy for every little boy and girl in this country and show them that pledges they take matter and the promises they make do matter.

This commitment was shattered by Donald J. Trump when he violated his oath of office, his promise of loyalty and service to the American people.

This should weigh heavily on each one of us, because the future of our democracy depends on it.

Democracy is a gift that each generation gives the next. We must act, and we must impeach.

I urge all my colleagues to face this evidence and uphold the oaths each of us have taken to protect our Constitution.

What President Trump did here was wrong. It's unconstitutional. If anyone else did this, they would be held accountable.

There is absolutely a quid pro quo when President Zelensky says...

So there is direct evidence that President Trump asked President Zelensky to look into these investigations...

Indeed, it is not true.

I thank Chairman Nadler for yielding. I support this bill and its efforts to protect access to the ballot box and advance justice and democracy for all, including Latinos, which represent 77 percent of my district. Enfranchising minority…

I think we need to be investing in technology.

We need a strong cop on the beat here in the U.S.

I think it is going to be vital that the regulators have the resources to have their own AI.

I am particularly concerned about jobs. My district is in Houston, and is 77 percent Latino.

The acts of the President, according to these facts, each time is to use the power that he has unique to his office, but in a way that's going to help him frustrate the investigation.

Under any other circumstances, such behavior by any American President would be shocking, but here it is a repeat of what we have already seen in the special counsel's investigation.

The similarities between the President's conduct in the Ukraine investigation and his conduct in the special counsel's investigation are hard to ignore.

Yesterday, we observed Latina Equal Pay Day. Latinas across the country made our voices heard, demanding an end to the gender pay gap that affects Latinas the most. We Latinas are ``luchadoras''--fighters. Yet, on average, Latinas make 53…

And that is why we are advancing this legislation, to rein in the excesses.

That is precisely why I am supporting the Stop Wall Street Looting Act, because it seeks to rein in the excesses that have occurred and continue to occur in our economy.

Thank you for the opportunity to ask two more questions that I had that, because of time in the first round, I could not do.

I think it is a topic that has been of great concern for many of us.

We must not forget the people behind these numbers, like Mr. Frank de la Cruz.

My colleague, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez, also a Texan, introduced the Repatriate Our Patriots Act, a simple bill that would allow special veterans a path to citizenship.

Over 20 percent of people who have been awarded the Medal of Honor were not born in the United States.
