Republican and then what happens . Yeah, and then at that point, any member can simply say they move to offer an amendment. And when they offer an amendment, they have to actually provide the next of that language to the clerk. The amendment could be read aloud before all of the members of The Committee. And then each of the members can simply say they want a chance to talk and to speak about that particular amendment. And as you said, there are 41 members of this committee. 40 are expected to attend one is not, ted lieu because of health issues. Hes not expected to be here this week. But each of those members could speak. That could take time for each individual amendment. When that amendment is voted down which we expect because republicans are expects to offer amendments, democrats are happy with these articles and dont plan to do that. Thats why this is unpredictable how this contentious day will play out, wolf. 40 members now. Ted lieu had some medical issues. We wish him a speedy
Elections are the heart of our democracy. Our Founding Fathers devised a simple way to remove a president if you disagree with him. Its called an election. And we have one coming up in less than a year. Lets let the people decide this next november and i yield back. Gentleman yields back. Gentleman from new york. Madam speaker, i now yield one minute to the gentle lady from michigan. Gentle lady is recognized for one minute. Thank you. I rise today in support of impeachment. I learned so much every single day from my residents at home. Their common sense and understanding of what is right and wrong is centered on why they oppose any person using the most powerful position in the world for personal gain. We honor our veterans in this chamber almost on a daily basis. But do we ever follow their lead . Where we serve the people of the United States and uphold the constitution, not as republicans or democrats, but as americans. We should learn from their sense of duty and responsibility to
Hunter biden behind closed doors.

Unbelievable. Thank you so much, heidi. Let me go back to garrett on the floor. Whats happening now . That measure did not succeed . Reporter it wont succeed. Were waiting on a few more votes to be cast. Im watching a couple more tick off the board. We expect this will probably be the last of the procedural hurdles at this phase of the game. We expect the next thing to happen will be the debate on the actual rules setting the terms of debate for the Articles Of Impeachment. This will look like an actual debate when it gets started. You will see members start to hash out not just the Process Arguments that you heard from heidi, but also democrats will
be making
we know all of his sordid past history, personal and professional. it s an easy answer. ron desantis answered with process arguments. nikki haley kind of deflected and punted. they re trying to do this s.e., i want to let s look at this. we re looking inside the courtroom. it s this moment we ve been able to have where cameras are allowed in to look around and then they re told to leave. let s listen to this .
alito writes a preemptive op ed in the wall street journal. who is advising him on trials should be fired and outed by alito and the wall street journal. it s the dumbest press strategy i have ever seen in my life. i worked in republican politics. i ve seen a lot. i suspect he ace his own media adviser, he s indignant and not lashing out. when you can t argue the facts, you resort to excuse making and process arguments at the conews coming up fire unfairly. and i just want to pause to credit jesse and his colleagues.
