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.
