                         HALLOWEEN IMPEACHMENT

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, Halloween is 9 days away. It is a holiday 
that happens in the dark. It is about fear, deceit, and witch hunts--
anything to hide who you truly are.
  Back home, Texans are stunned. How can the majority party of the 
House use a kids' holiday, Halloween, as a model for the most dramatic 
action Congress can take: impeaching a sitting President? The ghouls 
and goblins of the House majority are now the Halloween party and make 
up this process as they go along.
  Impeachment demands an inquiry vote by the full House, a full vote by 
the full House. The Democrat majority did that with Richard Nixon in 
the 1970s, and the Republican majority did that with Bill Clinton in 
the 1990s.
  The House Halloween party allowed 41 Members of this body of 435 to 
go forward with impeachment. This party is following the Wizard of Oz. 
If they pursue this witch hunt, the House will fall down on November 
2020. The witch hunt will be over.
