“This is a very simple issue. The United States of America is a republic that is designed specifically, and our duties are articulated in the Constitution of the United States of America. When we are speaking to the executive branch as a coequal branch, we are not sending requests. A subpoena is not an ask. It is a task. For the Attorney General of the United States to completely ignore the Congress is unlawful. It cannot be tolerated. This should be the most bipartisan bill that would pass in this Congress because my Democratic colleagues also have been emasculated by the Attorney General. So, I am asking them to cross the aisle. Let's work together and make sure that we, collectively, are respected as Members of Congress, as articulated in the Constitution of the United States. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, does the gentlewoman have any further speakers?”
