IMPEACHMENT OF SECRETARY McMAHON
(Ms. BONAMICI asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Ms. BONAMICI. Mr. Speaker, I call for the House to impeach Secretary
of Education Linda McMahon, whose mission is to close down the
Department of Education, which is something that she does not have the
authority to do.
Secretary McMahon has betrayed students, families, and educators by
dismantling and destroying the Department of Education without coming
to Congress for approval. She violated Federal law and her oath of
office, lied to Congress, and created chaos and disruption in education
funding for the students who need it the most.
[[Page H4250]]
Secretary McMahon transferred more than 100 core programs and
services, including the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative
Services and the Office for Civil Rights, to other Federal agencies
without congressional approval, creating more bureaucracy and chaos and
putting the administration of the IDEA in jeopardy.
Secretary McMahon cut the Department's workforce in half so that they
don't have the necessary staff to disburse congressionally authorized
funding on time or to investigate civil rights violations.
Educators and parents, especially parents of students with
disabilities, are distraught, and they are asking us to take action to
stop these illegal transfers.
I hear them.
Mr. Speaker, I invite all of my colleagues to join me in support of
this resolution impeaching Secretary McMahon for her illegal attempt to
destroy the Department of Education.
