         UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST TO DELETE REMARKS IN DEBATE

  Mr. CICILLINE. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to strike from 
the Congressional Record the words of the gentlewoman from Minnesota 
who described placing a handcuff on one hand of the President's----

  Mr. ROYCE. Mr. Speaker, I object as the request is not timely.
  Mr. CICILLINE. Mr. Speaker, a point of order.
  Excuse me. May I finish my unanimous consent request? Thank you.
  She in one moment described putting one handcuff on one hand of the 
President's and a second handcuff on the second hand of the President's 
and handcuffing the lawless President of the United States.
  Those are words which are not appropriate in the Congressional 
Record. I ask unanimous consent that they be stricken. Impugning the 
character and integrity of the President of the United States is a 
clear violation of the rules of this House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Rhode Island?
  Mr. ROYCE. Mr. Speaker, I do object. The request is not timely.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard.
  Mr. CICILLINE. A parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman 
will yield for a moment.
  There is no requirement that a unanimous consent request be timely. 
The House can consent unanimously to any course of action. I am asking 
the House to consent unanimously to striking these particular words 
from the Congressional Record. There is no requirement under the House 
rules that it be done contemporaneously, that is, of taking down the 
words of today.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has stated a unanimous consent 
request, and there has been an objection.
  Mr. CICILLINE. And I have heard no objection.
  Mr. ROYCE. There is an objection to the unanimous consent request, 
Mr. Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. There is an objection.
