                            SUPPORTING USAID

  (Mr. McGARVEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGARVEY. Mr. Speaker, we are in a constitutional crisis.
  Our Founding Fathers created three coequal branches of government to 
ensure that no one man can be king, but here we are. We have a 
President who is willing to tear up our Constitution in order to seize 
more power for himself.
  Last week, Donald Trump empowered Elon Musk to delete USAID. Now, 
they are trying to eliminate the Department of Education and go after 
Medicaid. What is next, Social Security?
  Let's be clear. It is unconstitutional for any President to abolish 
any Federal agency created and funded by Congress.
  My question to the body is this: Where are my Republican colleagues?
  They would not be okay if this were Kamala Harris or Joe Biden, and 
the difference is, neither would I.
  Mr. Speaker, stand with me. We all must stand up to do something to 
stop it.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President.
