Floor Speech

Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, 6 days ago, I was standing right here, fulfilling my constitutional duties to certify the election. And, 6 days ago, Donald Trump was on the Mall, whipping a mob into a frenzy with false claims of stolen elections and unconstitutional schemes. It was a big lie, the same big lie he had been telling for weeks.

He told the mob, ``We are going to the Capitol'' and ``to fight like hell,'' and they did. Five died. Many more were hurt. And we were seconds away from something much worse.

My colleagues, upholding our oath, the Constitution, and our democracy means recognizing that every second that Donald Trump is President the Nation is at risk. We have the power to do something about it. Mike Pence must do his duty, invoke the 25th. If he won't, we will move with urgency to do ours and impeach Donald Trump again.
