will be impeachment every single time one party controls the house of representatives and the other party is in the white house. with that i yield to my friend from louisiana. >> i thank my friend. i want to point out we are talking about and have been for the last two hours this amendment mr. jordan brought. he wants to strike article one of the resolution because the resolution isn't worth the paper it's t written on. why do we need to do that? article 2 section four of the constitution, you've got to have treason, bribery, a high crime or misdemeanomisdemeanor. you've defaulted to the amorphous abuse of power. it's not a criminal act, certainly not a high crime. there's one problem -- to summarize all this, if you're getting lost in the arguments at home, here isn what it comes dn to, in the 243-year history of the country, only two previous presidents impeached, andrew johnson and bill clinton. both ofhn those, and in the lengthy nixon impeachment investigation, evidence clearly established that specific criminal acts were committed.
