                          PARTISAN IMPEACHMENT

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today because what we are 
witnessing is unprecedented in the history of this country. House 
Democratic leaders are conducting an impeachment inquiry behind closed 
doors with selective leaks instead of transparency, with no due process 
and without a vote on the House floor.
  Why do they want to keep this process hidden from view? Because they 
know the American people will see right through this partisan scheme.
  Democrats decided to impeach this President the day he took office. 
Now they are just trying to come up with a reason, no matter what the 
facts are.
  The American people know that Washington is broken, and they sent us 
here to fix it. Instead, House Democrats are shaking the people's trust 
in this institution.
  We should be passing USMCA to give our farmers and workers a better 
deal.
  We should be voting on bipartisan legislation to lower prescription 
drug costs.
  We should be working to fix our immigration system and secure the 
border.
  Madam Speaker, it is time to end this charade and get back to work.
