Mr. Speaker, Democratic attempts to stall the inevitable are laughable at best. I believe we should move forward with voting as soon as possible and get the dirty work done. We must move forward and prosecute the President to the fullest extent of the law, and this means impeachment. We must hold him as an example, the leader of this Great Nation must be held at the exact same standards as any other citizen. I motion to move the previous question and move to an immediate vote. I yield |

Mr. Speaker, While I do agree with my colleague from Kansas that the Democrats are stalling, I do believe we need to make a through debate of this. We must get all the facts together before we make any drastic decisions. I Yield. |

Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my friend from New York why, she wishes to have the Attorney General testify in this debate? Unless, it is just a stalling technique, by your party... I yield |

Mr. Speaker, I concur with my colleagues in that a hearing on this matter is completely unnecessary. The opinions of those who now view the President with disdain will not be changed, and a hearing is only a waste of time. I yield. |

Mr. Speaker, The efforts to impeach President Clinton are frankly the most partisan and politically motivated attack I’ve seen in my life. I cannot recall another time in history that a President was targeted as the victim of impeachment not because of what the Constitution states but because of what backroom political advisors would suggest. President Clinton used poor judgment with Monica Lewinsky and he has admitted his wrongdoings. But as the facts show, he gave truthful answers to the Grand Jury and was legally correct in his statements. His record as a President is strong, despite his personal issues. And his personal issues are his alone to reconcile. I yield. |
