PRESIDENT BIDEN SHOULD RESIGN
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the catastrophic Chinese
spy balloon spectacle clearly threatened American families from Alaska
to Missouri to North Carolina and to my home community in South
Carolina with Fort Jackson and the Savannah River Site.
This confirms that President Biden and Vice President Harris should
resign.
My call for their resignation was valid in August 2021 due to the
surrender and the disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan with 13 dead,
creating a safe haven for terrorists to attack American families.
It was not political in 2021 when the succeeding President, then-
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, would have been a Democrat.
And it is not political now in 2023 when the succeeding President
would be Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who is a Republican.
It is irrelevant for American families which party is in power
because the first criterion of a leader should be their capability
regardless of party, and sadly, Biden and Harris are failures.
Resignation now is further reinforced by their open border policies
having allowed hundreds of identified terrorists

into America to commit mass murder. When the domestic attack occurs,
Biden and Harris will not be able to adequately respond. Credible
leadership is imperative to protect American families.
