           RAISING A QUESTION OF THE PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE

  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I rise to offer a question of the 
privileges of the House previously noticed.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. DeGette). The Clerk will report the 
resolution.
  The Clerk read as follows:

                              H. Res. 832

       Whereas, on December 20, 2019, Speaker Pelosi extended an 
     invitation for President Trump to address a joint session of 
     Congress on February 4, 2020;
       Whereas, on February 4, 2020, President Trump delivered his 
     State of the Union address, in which he honored the sacrifice 
     of the following American heroes and their families:
       General Charles McGee, one of the last surviving Tuskegee 
     Airmen, who served in World War II, the Korean War, and the 
     Vietnam War;
       Kayla Mueller, a humanitarian aid worker who was caring for 
     suffering civilians in Syria when she was kidnapped, tortured 
     and enslaved by ISIS for over 500 days before being murdered 
     by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi;
       Army Staff Sergeant Christopher Hake, who was killed while 
     serving his second tour of duty in Iraq by a roadside bomb 
     supplied by Iranian terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani;
       Sergeant First Class Townsend Williams, who is currently 
     serving his fourth deployment in the Middle East and his wife 
     Amy, who works full time for the Army and devotes hundreds of 
     hours helping military families;
       Whereas immediately following the address, while still 
     presiding over the joint session, Speaker Pelosi ripped up an 
     official copy of the President's remarks, which contained the 
     names and stories of these patriots who sacrificed so much 
     for our country; and
       Whereas the conduct of Speaker Pelosi was a breach of 
     decorum and degraded the proceedings of the joint session, to 
     the discredit of the House: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives disapproves of 
     the behavior of Speaker Pelosi during the joint session of 
     Congress held on February 4, 2020.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The resolution qualifies.
