          WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON IN THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE?

  (Mr. DUNCAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNCAN. Madam Speaker, the American people are asking: What in 
the world is going on in the people's House? But it is easy to see when 
you hear the words from Mr. Green from Texas, who said: ``If we don't 
impeach this President, he will get reelected.''
  That has led to closed-door hearings, secret depositions, and a 
parity by a committee chairman. Nothing good happens in the dark behind 
closed doors. In fact, the German people knew this after reunification 
at the end of World War II.
  At the end of years of being behind the Iron Curtain, they rebuilt 
their Parliament with a glass dome and a mirrored spire, directing 
sunlight into the chamber, a chamber made of glass walls for sunlight 
and transparency.
  This people's House operates the same way, or at least it should, 
until these hearings, behind closed doors, these secret depositions 
happen.
  Madam Speaker, I support President Trump.
