Floor Speech
Issues: Executive Branch
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this resolution today.
We have a responsibility to the American people to uphold the Constitution and rule of law, and we also have an obligation, as a separate and equal branch of government, to act as a check on the executive branch.
Without access to necessary information, we can't fulfill our constitutionally prescribed duties. We must have not only this report, but the evidence collected to support the report.
If the President has nothing to hide, then he would also support this resolution by tweet or verbal approval.
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to be a cosponsor of this legislation. It is very important for our country.
