                         STOP IMPEACHMENT SHAM

  (Mr. ROUZER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ROUZER. Madam Speaker, this impeachment sham needs to stop. We 
all know what this is really about: overturning the results of the 2016 
election.
  From the outset, Speaker Pelosi and Chairman Schiff have conducted 
this inquiry behind closed doors, out of sight of the American people 
and us, without a vote to authorize it.
  They have ignored due process, completely disregarded precedent, and 
made it clear that politics and partisanship are more important than 
fairness and transparency.
  They denied our side of the aisle the right to subpoena evidence. 
They have excluded the President's legal team from participating in 
hearings, cross-examining witnesses, or presenting evidence. This body, 
quite simply, has been turned into a kangaroo court fixated on 
unseating the President at any cost.
  Our Constitution, our basic, fundamental principles of fairness, and 
the millions of Americans who made their voices heard in the 2016 
election are being snubbed.
  Madam Speaker, it is time to stop this sham.
