AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY IS NECESSARY
(Mr. HIGGINS of New York asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, with each passing day, we see
an erosion of this country's ideals by a President who freely sidesteps
Congress, profits off his position, obstructs justice, and places
personal petty politics before national security.
The validity of these violations is not in question. They are
happening before us.
The Intelligence inspector general, who was appointed by President
Trump, said that the whistleblower complaint is of both urgent concern
and credible, and its public release is the National Intelligence
director's obligation to the American people.
An impeachment inquiry is necessary to protect the values included in
our Constitution and to deliver the truth Americans deserve.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from
engaging in personalities toward the President.
