There was a clear consensus in the country. neither of those two commissions are present here. indeed, the latest real clear politics average of polls on impeachment shows the country evenly split, 46.5% of americans in favor of impeachment and 46.5% against. that is hardly what i would call a national consensus in favor of impeaching president trump. when half of americans are telling you that what you're doing is wrong, you should listen. i think this is especially the case given how close we are to the next election. in 11 months the american people are going to vote on the next president o...

The president should not be impeached. i urge all members to vote no. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you very much. i appreciate your comments. obviously we have strong disagreements, and just one technical point i'd like to make. none of us in this house have had an opportunity to vote on impeachment. the resolution that the gentleman refers to was -- some of us opposed tabling it because we thought it should go to committee where it could be appropriately evaluated. that's what this process has achieved. relevant committees have done their work and investigated wrongdoings by the presiden...

Pelosi's own words back in march of this year. she said, quote, impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, i don't think we should go down that path because it divides the country, unquote. the key word in that quote is bipartisan. indeed, during the nixon and clinton impeachments, the process for even opening the inquiry was considered on a bipartisan basis. back then both sides treated the process with the seriousness it deserved. negotiating and finding agreement across the aisle to ensure fairness and due process f...
