Ms. TITUS. Madam Speaker, considering this impeachment resolution is the fastest I have seen the House GOP move all session. That is because there has been no collection of evidence, only the manipulation of it. There has been no meaningful bipartisan engagement, only partisan political stunts. There has been no due process. Instead, it is a deliberate disregard for the basis of our legal system.

It has no constitutional precedent or basis, no real backing by Senate GOP counterparts who are going to hold the trial, no meaningful engagement with policy, and no support from respected legal scholars, political pundits, nor former DHS directors.

History will remember this for what it is, an appeasement of the most extreme members of the MAGA base, and put very simply, the brownnosing of a man with 91 indictments, several convictions, and two impeachments.
