that they found to be a credible person and a credible complaint 
threatening the security of our country--that a phone conversation had 
taken place between our President and the President of Ukraine 
suggesting that he should, the President of Ukraine, go into a criminal 
investigation that would affect the election of 2020, and conditioned 
it through actions on military aid to Ukraine.
  This is suborning the Constitution and threatening our national 
security.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Speaker Pelosi for calling for an impeachment 
inquiry. It is the right time. It is the right issue. This is an 
egregious subversion of our Constitution.
  Long may the United States survive and live as a true democracy.
