this president, donald j. trump, coerced a fragile foreign ally to investigating his political opponent and interfere in our elections, and he leveraged critically needed, congressionally approved military aid to ukraine. the president's allies want to claim that he did this because he cared about corruption. but if president trump truly cared about corruption, then he would have listened to the talking points that were prepared by the national security council on anticorruption. he did not. in fact on those two calls with president zelensky, he never mentioned the word "corruption." he did not abide by the department of defense's own recommendation that ukraine had passed all the anticorruption benchmarks and he didn't listen to the unanimous conclusion of all of his top advisers that he must release that aid to ukraine. he did release the aid in 2017 and 2018 but not in 2019. why? because in 2019, vice president joe biden was running for preside president. because this is not hearsay, we have a responsibilit

so today, to uphold my oath to constitution and country, i will vote to impeach donald j. trump. i yield back. >> the gentle lady yields back. the gentleman from georgia. >> i will also remind my chairman, impeachment has never been a weapon between elections when you can't win back the next one. >> other than authorizing an act of war, impeachment is the greatest item we has congress can consider. the decision to move forward is so consequential that it's only been done three times previously in our nation's history, all based on legitimate evidence of criminal behavior. unfortunately, many of my colleagues have diminished what should be a solemn and great proceeding similar because they don't like the man occupying the white house. the democrats have been intent on impeaching the president since the day he took office. their actions are clearly motivated by hatred for president trump. this impeachment vote today is in the next step in their plan to remove them from office. the partisan impeachment investigation from the house intelligence committee was unnecessarily held behind

now donald j. trump, 2019. they could have had this vote last night, abby. it was only -- as dana says, ten minutes or so, but the democrats clearly wanted it in daylight. >> exactly. because they knew what would happen if they did vote at 1:00 in the morning or 2:00 in the morning on articles of impeachment. that immediately the talking point would be, almost like a washington cliche, in the dark of the night, you're voting on -- to impeach this president to overturn will of the people. and so by pushing it into the daylight, it really disarms that talking point. but it also, i think, is important to do that, because the american people should know that this is what's going on. they should be wide awake for it. because as you pointed out, only four other times in history has this happened. and this is not something that we ought to take lightly. and you know, the president himself is aware of that. he doesn't like, obviously, the idea that now this is -- will be on his gravestone, in his obitua obituary. and even though i think republicans feel confident th

donald j. trump, soberly shouldering the responsibility that was given to me by my constituents and honoring my oath to protect and defend the constitution of the united states of america. mine is not a vote against any person. it is a vote for the constitution and for we the people because america is so deeply worth it. >> the gentle woman from arizona is recognized. >> thank you, madam chairman. if anyone is guilty of abusing power and obstructing congress around here is the democrats, not the president this is the most corrupt, rigged railroad job i've seen in my entire life. first, we now have proof that obama's fbi-doctored evidence and used knowing opposition research paid for by the democrats and hillary clinton to spy on the trump campaign. then obama's administration started an investigation against trump that lasted nearly two years based on false claims by adam schiff and other democrats that trump colluded with russia. they issued 2,800 subpoenas, 500 warrants and spent over $25 mil

and so today, to uphold my oath to constitution and country, i will vote to impeach donald j. trump. amy: congressmember pramila jayapal, welcome back to democracy now! your thoughts on this historic day and what this means for the country? was an important moment for the constitution, for our country, for accountntability, d for defending democracy. our really proud of all of democrats, including many of them in tough districts that trump won who put country over

j. trump this is not about a phone call or ukraine or use of executive privilege. you have to remember that 95 of the democrats on this floor today voted to impeach donald trump before the july 25 phone call ever happened between president trump and president zelensky and not only is this a single party impeachment, it's also evidence-free.

this president, donald j. trump, coerced a fragile foreign ally to investigate his political opponent and interfere in our elections and he leveraged critically needed connelly approved military aid to ukraine. the president's allies want to claim he did this because he cared about corruption. but if president trump truly cared about corruption, then he would have listened to the talking points that were prepared by the national security council on anti-corruption. he did not. in fact, on those two calls with president zelensky he never mentioned the word corruption. he did not abide by the department of defense's own recommendation that ukraine had passed all the anti-corruption benchmarks and he didn't listen to the unanimous conclusion of all of his top advisors that he must release that aid to ukraine. he did release the aid in 2017 and 2018, but not in 2019. why? because in 2019, vice president joe biden was running for president. because this is not hearsay. we have a responsibility. the president told u

i will vote in favor of impeachment of donald j. trump. not as a partisan act but as a serious, urgent, and necessary one. and i yield back. >> gentleman from georgia. >> thank you, madam speaker. i yield one minute to the gentleman from texas. >> gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> 21 years ago, this week, i spoke here on impeachment. in this, sadly, history will not treat democrats well. they'll be forever remembered as the senator joe mccarthys of our time. so blinded by their hatred of president trump, they abandoned american rights of due process and fairness. and just decency. reminiscent of joe mccarthy, they assaulted the constitution, took glee in secret hearings, blocked evidence, and switched charges like rogue prosecutors. ultimately, they chose abuse of power because they practice it so well. president trump committed no crime or impeachable offense. none. his legacy won't be stained. democrats' will. we'll look back at these days in shame because trump haters in congress, like red haters of the past, are willing to plu

against donald trump j. trump president of theai united state of america, impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors. the constitution provides that the housetu of representative wills have the soul power of impeachment and that there will be a conviction of kraeson, private bribery, and in violation of tis cushional oath, and to the best of his ability to preserve, protect, the constitution of the united states, and in violation of the laws, he hasth abused the power of the presidency in that. and soliciting the interference. he did so through a scheme or course that included soliciting the government of ukraine, announcing investigations that would gint his reelection, and influence the 2020 united states presidential election to his advantage. president trump also sought to pressure the government of ukraine to take these steps of significant value of ukraine on the public announcement of the investigations. >> mr. chairman, unanimous contin consent that it is read. >> using the manners of presidency th

president trump donald j. trump has abused and violated the public trust by using his high office to solicit the aid of a foreign power, not for the benefit of the united states of america, but instead for his personal and political gain. his actions reflect precis -- precisely the type of conduct the frames of the constitution intended to remedy through the power of impeach and -- impeachment and it is our duty to impeach him. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia. mr. collins: undoubtedly house resolution 660 doesn't matter to the majority and the manager of this bill because the inspector general transcript has not been release. there were documents not transferred and we're not sure we were we got everything we were supposed to get in the judiciary committee. when you want to be transparent and open you hold it in the scif and do whatever you want. i yield though gentleman. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. >> this impeachment did not start with the whistlebl

it is for one man, donald j. trump, his truth, his way. we must reject that abuse of power because this is not america. no one is above the law. reminded of my grandfather who left his native land to join with his wife and to bring his aspirations and hopes to the united states. i'm reminded that he died an early death because of lack of access to healthcare, but yet i am told he was still inspired by this nation, and i'm reminded that my widow grandmother watched eric, allen and samuel go off to war in world war ii. these are america's stories, families who believe and when the commander in chief violates his oath and abuses power, corrupts our democracy, it is a continuing threat to our national security. the truth is it becomes like the leaves on a tree, it falls on the ground and the trust that is the cornerstone of our democracy shakes in the stare of a government no longer for the people and by the people, but a government led by a president who undermines our democracy over and over again and even looking forward to interfering with

but these now both articles of impeachment against donald j. trump have passed. abuse of power, obstruction of congress. nearly strict party line vote. mary bruce, you can feel the differences on the democratic and republican side of the floor as these votes came in. >> reporter: george, you could hear from the republican members on the floor, chants of "four more years." not a single republican member voted for impeachment, voted for either of the articles. it is very clear that the president has been able to solidify the republican party behind him. we saw that in the fierce debate throughout hours today and here it is reflected in the vote. we did, of course, see two members in the first article, three in the second, crossing party lines, joining republicans in opposing impeachment. you can bet that republican members here are going to be eager to tout there was bipartisan opposition to impeachment. but it is pretty remarkable that now at the end of all of this, five months, roughly, after the president's infamous phone call when he asked ukraine to do us a fa

another feature of this process has been the confessions of donald j. trump and rudy giuliani. rudy giuliani going on cable television and saying basically the real-life version of a few good men, damn right i called the code red. rudy giuliani and donald j. trump making no secret about asking for investigations that would damage the bidens and that would bring back up this debunked conspiracy theory about 2016. >> right. which is one of the pressing urgencies that democrats have tried to convey to the nation, that this is not necessarily about what happened on a phone call over the summer, this is about activity that continues. and if congress does nothing, we will see donald trump and the team around him continue to cheat. i think jerry nadler was right to move this vote to this morning because it does allow the nation to distill the very simple narrative around the misconduct. it creates a more dispassionate forum than perhaps the circus we saw yesterday. and the simple narrative is that donald trump tried to cheat and is continuing to try to cheat. in many ways, it is less

president trump just opposes it. no one is above the law. not even president donald j. trump. the president abused his power. by pressuring ukraine to help his re-election campaign. impeachment is a constitutional remedy for these actions. trump betrayed his oath, betrayed the constitution, and undermined the integrity of our elections. those who are against impeachment inquiry are willing to turn a blind eye to constitutional violations by the president. as a nation, we have no other alternative. we must protect our constitution and the united states of america. in his own words, no intelligent person believes what he is saying. >> gentleman's time's expired. gentleman from north dakota. >> madam speaker, i yield one and a half minute to the gentleman from indiana. >> gentleman is recognized for one and a half minutes. >> madam speaker, the totality of this process is just another reminder that my colleagues across the aisle are more focused on politics than policy. the american people deserve better. our republic deserve better. the brave men and women of our military, mysel

and with this in mind, i will vote yes to impeach donald j. trump. i yield back. >> gentleman from california yields. gentleman from california reserve. gentleman from georgia is recognized. >> thank you, speaker. i yield a minute and a half to the gentlewoman from north carolina, ms. fox. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in strong opposition to the process and to the resolution. when congress sees fit to examine its solemn power of impeachment, it is imperative that it does so in genuine pursuit of justice. fairly, transparently, and objectively. anything less is unacceptable. this partisan impeachment has fallen far short of that. sadly, alexander hamilton's prediction in federalist number 65 has come true. where he warned that, in many cases, it will connect itself with the pre-existing factions. and will enlist all their animosities, partialities, influence, and interest on one side or on the other. and in such cases, there will always be the greatest danger that the decision will be regulated more by the comparative strength of parties than by

trump did and wanted, and that was donald j. trump. he is the smoking gun in the situation. people are looking for more evidence somewhere else should ,ust look at his words consistently, as well as his actions and the corroborating testimony. i think polling does change. at the other thing i would just remarkables a statement that half of the country wants to see -- just under half the country once does he president trump removed from office. those are stunning numbers. i think sometimes we look at the opposite and we say, how come the numbers aren't greater? how can these people stick with the president? but that is a remarkable number of people who want this president impeached. remember, 2018, the american people voted in a house majority of democrats because they wanted checks and balances. i think theyey are smarter than what donald trump gives them credit for. i'm not going to say this is going to be easy, whether he is removed or not, if we have to go through a 2020 election because the senate refuseses to be courageous. the reality is, we have to continue to emphasi

we have seen over 500,000 manufacturing jobs come back under donald j. trump. [applause] over 7 million new jobs created in this country. over half of those jobs going to the ladies. to women. we havest unemployment seen in the history of this country. anyone check out the stock market lately? it has grown 10,000 points since donald trump took office. help me out. to i'm still confused. don't you guys remember before the election in 2016, they all said if you elect donald trump the economy will crash? are they wrong about that? abouten't they wrong that? and so many other things, right? i grew up in north carolina. in 2016, the way i became a part of the campaign -- obviously i was a part of the family -- that i flew down to north carolina with my father-in-law one day. after being with him are a couple of hours, donald trump likes to take people's opinion, talk to them, and i noticed him looking at me and inking. he looked at me and said, i want to put you in charge of winning north carolina. i was like, oh. of course i said absolutely. i would love to do that

donald j. trump is president of the united states. he's president today, he'll be president tomorrow, and he will be president when this impeachment is over. madam speaker, when they accept that maybe this house can get back to work for the american people. tonight i rise not as the leader of the opposition to this impeachment or as the elected representative from the central valley of california. i rise as kevin mccarthy, citizen, no better, no worse in the 4,435 representatives that are in this chamber or the 330 million americans watching this institution make what i believe to be one of the worst decisions we have ever made. it doesn't matter whether you're a democrat or a republican, whether you're liberal or you're conservative, whether you're the first generation or the tenth, at our core we are all american. all of us. we choose our future. we choose what kind of nation we want to be. here is our choice tonight. will we let impeachment become an exercise of raw political power regardless if it damages our country? or will we p
