madam speaker, today marks a sad day for america. instead of getting to work to solve the issues of our time, the house democrats have decided to try to discredit president trump and undo the results of the 2016 election. the facts are clear that the president did not commit any crimes, he did not break any laws and there was no quid pro quo. this has been a secretive misdirected process from the very beginning and the american people see right through it. i look forward to voting against this impeachment charade and getting back to work to support the efforts of president trump to continue growing our economy, creating jobs and improving the lives of all americans. i yield back the balance of my time. the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from massachusetts. i yield one minute to the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. boyle. the gentleman is recognized for one minute. thank you. madam speaker, this is the
the american people sent us here. and on this sad day of an impeachment charade, i yield back the balance of my time. gentleman from new york. madam speaker, i now yield one minute to the gentleman from texas, mr. gonzalez. gentleman s recognized for one minute. madam speaker, i rise on a sad day for america. a sad day for texas and a very sad day for the people i represent. i m not gleeful for today. i came to congress to lower the cost of prescription drugs, fight for a debt-free education, improve the cost of special-needs children, seniors, and our veterans. i did not come to congress to impeach a sitting president. but we ve been given to choice. he has eroded the foundations of our democracy and used the office of the presidency for personal and political gain. our founding fathers fear that one day the power of the
of the constitution intended to remedy through the power of impeachment, and it is our duty to impeach him. i yield back. gentleman from georgia. thank you, madam speaker. undoubtedly the house resolution 660 does not matter to the majority, and particularly the manager because his transcript has not been released. there has not been documents transferred that were supposed to be transferred to the white house. we are still not sure we got everything we are supposed to get in judiciary committee. i guess when you want to be trance parent and open, you hold it in a skiff and do whatever you want. with that i yield to mr. steube. thank you, madam speaker. this impeachment charade did not start with a whistle-blower complaint. the campaign to impeach a duly elected president and overturn the will of 63 million americans started 19 minutes after the president took the oath of office, 19 minutes after the washington post published a story headlined the campaign to impeach president
gentleman from georgia. thank you, madam speaker. this time, i yield two minutes to the ja frgentleman from flor two minutes? gentleman s recognized for two minutes. this is not about the ukraine. it s about power. donald trump has it and house democrats want it. so with no crime, no victim, no evidence, no proof, no agenda for america, this impeachment charade marches on. following no rules. and adhering to no sense of honor. the american people aren t fooled by dirty tricks. voters will never forget that democrats have been triggered into impeaching the president. because they don t like him and they don t like us. those who vote yes on today s articles of impeachment must carry the heavy burden of shame and guilt for as long as they serve in congress. which won t be long because the american people will remember in november. democrats would rather trip the president just to see him stumble than see america succeed. they d rather impeach the
democratic party. they ve rolled nancy bloats pelosi, and they ve gotten them to do this impeachment charade. jeff van drew is shaking his head and saying this isn t why i came here. a lot of voters are saying, hey, we you to be focusing on substantive wins. pete: collin peterson of minnesota has declared he will vote existence these impeachment arms against these impeachment articles. i ve got to imagine being in the house you know what it would feel i mean, what would it take to switch parties and the reaction and the blow black jeff van drew s going to get? yeah, that comes with it. with eyes wide open as you re making a decision like this, there s going to be blowback from democrats. the new jersey governor going after him. you have so many democrats, and this adds to the issue, is that they are looking at 3% of the facts.
