                        END IMPEACHMENT CHARADE

  (Mr. ABRAHAM asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. ABRAHAM. Madam Speaker, the Democrats would have you believe that 
their impeachment crusade is a moral imperative. It is not. It is an 
act of pure cowardice.
  Their failure to bring a formal impeachment vote to the House floor 
shows that this witch hunt has no legitimacy whatsoever, and they know 
it. They are using it as a punch line.
  This informal inquiry is being conducted in secret behind closed 
doors and betrays the true intention of what they are trying to do to 
our good President, to conduct an endless, shallow campaign of half-
truths and manipulated facts against President Trump.
  I have called on my fellow Members of this House to denounce the 
unconstitutional farce that they are doing and support my resolution to 
expel the Speaker and vacate the chair.
  It is time to end this charade and get back to doing the people's 
business. We can certainly start by passing the USMCA.
