I urge no vote on the previous question. i yield one minute to my good friend, the gentleman from georgia. the gentleman is recognized for one minute. i thank my good friend. the majority has thrown almost every allegation imaginable against this president and yet these articles of impeachment that have been submitted cannot name a single actual crime. after all the drama, the majority has not found a sing shred of evidence. the facts have remained the same, the transcript speaks for itself. there was no quid pro quo. the ukrainian government said ult multiple times they felt no pressure. the aid ultimately came. even speaker pelosi said this whole thing would have compelling, overwhelming bipartisan support. none of those things exist. i rurj my colleagues to stand against the rule and the ....
I think my good friend, chairman mcgovern for yielding me the customary 30 minutes. the gentleman is recognized. thank you. well, madam speaker, today is a very sad day for all of us, for me personally, for the rules committee, the entire house of representatives, and most importantly for the american people. for the second time in my life, the house of representatives will be voting to impeach a president of the united states. but unlike in 1998, the decision to have this vote is not the result of a bipartisan process, nor an open or fair process. instead, it s going to be a deeply partisan vote coming at the end of an unfair and rushed process prescribed solely by democrats to ensure a predetermined result. impeachment of a president is one of the most consequential acts the house of representatives can undertake and it should only be done after the fullest and most careful consideration. ....

the gentle lady is recognized for one and a half minutes. i come to impeachment with deep sadness. the facts of this case are painful and indisputable. we know that the president illegally held up con gregzly appropriated aid to the ukraine. we know he conditioned the release of the aid on president zelensky opening an investigation based on a debunked conspiracy theory about his political rival and foreign interference in the 2016 election. we also know that the president has actively blocked congressional attempts to determine the extent of his misconduct by ordering executive branch officials to defy subpoenas and withhold information. despite the unprecedented obstruction from the president, the evidence in this case is powerful enough that to delay this vote any further would risk ....
