                     POLITICALLY MOTIVATED CHARADE

  (Mr. BERGMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, since November 9, 2016, Democrats have 
been calling for the removal of President Trump.
  Even before he took office, they have been protesting the results of 
the election and have sought to delegitimize his historic win in 
battleground States like Michigan.
  Breaking with historical precedent, House Democrat leadership will 
not hold a vote on this extremely consequential matter. House Democrats 
have created a toxic work environment, resulting in nothing getting 
done, no good policy or law created, no regular order.
  This is a politically motivated charade attempting to undermine and 
diminish the effectiveness of a duly elected President and his 
administration based on bias, prejudice, and disgraceful politics.
  The people of the First District of Michigan sent me here to work 
with others to get things done and represent the people with honor and 
integrity. I am sure my 434 colleagues were sent here with the same 
mission.
  It is high time to get back to real work.
