            DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO TEAR THIS COUNTRY APART

  (Mr. KELLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KELLER. Mr. Speaker, after weeks of secret depositions, selective 
leaks, and public hearings, the Democrats trying to tear down this 
country with their impeachment sham have not proven any of their 
assertions against President Trump.
  Unfortunately for those Americans who expect Members of Congress to 
work for their benefit, the majority in this Chamber is instead 
obsessed with overturning the will of the people expressed in the 2016 
election. That obsession caused substantive legislation to come to a 
standstill.
  While some Democrat Members of this House have pointed to the number 
of bills passed as evidence of success, I would like to point out that 
just because people are busy, it does not mean they are working. While 
bipartisan bills to address issues like lowering prescription drug 
prices, better trade deals, and funding our national defense are ready 
to be voted on, Speaker Pelosi has instead chosen to focus on

partisan messaging that she knows has zero chance of ever becoming law.
  Speaker Pelosi's partisan legislating must come to an end, and we 
must get back to working together in the interest of the American 
people.
