Raising A Question of the Privileges of the House

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. McCORMICK. Mr. Speaker, we have a quick decision to make, and I understand this is contentious because of who is President and because of who is in control of the floor.

In the near future, we will have maybe a new President, a new Senate, and things will be looked at very differently. I think the most important thing here is empowering the legislative branch to do its duty, to have representation by the people in its most basic way.

We saw something in the debate that we have never seen before, probably the most epic and historic debate ever as far as exposing the President and how he thinks, what his mental capacity is, and his ability to lead this great Nation forward in the next 4 years.

This is about the survival of our Nation, about the representation of ideas, about the health of the most powerful person in the world. If we can get to the bottom of that, we can make great decisions on who we elect. We can also, at the same time, have the best representation from the legislative branch.
