house managers said yes. they could rapidly move through a trial and bring the case to the senate and have it only partially investigated and then try to use the power of the senate to block the executive branch from ever going to court to resolve any issue. that has not been done in the past, nor should it be. the president, like every other citizen of the united states, should have access to the courts, and it is not grounds for contempt of congress to not -- to block the president from ever trying to go to court to resolve issues that need to be resolved. every other president has had that right. this one should have had that right as well. this tale that president trump thinks he's a king and doesn't want to follow the law begs reality. let me remind everyone of the mueller investigation. 2,800 subpoenas that were done over two and a half years. 500 witnesses including the president's, many of the president's inner circle. all of those were provided. none of those were blocked by the administration. and a

he house will be in order. he house will be in order. the house will be in order. the gentleman may proceed. mr. scott: we know that union members make higher salaries, work in safer workplace, nonunion members benefit from the high salaries. children will actually do better. vote against the motion to recommit and for the pro act. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the previous question is ordered on the motion to recommit. the question is on the motion to recommit. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. the gentleman from is recognized. >> may we have a recorded vote, please. the speaker pro tempore: recorded vote has been requested. those favoring a recorded vote will rise. a sufficient number having arisen, a recorded vote is ordered. members will record their votes y electronic device. paul d. ryan -- pursuant to clause 9 of rule 20, this five-minute vote on recommit will be followed by five-minute votes on h.r. 2474 if ordered and agreeing to house resolution 826. this is a five-minute vote.

house democrats argued that anytime the speaker speaker invokes the house sole power of impeachment the president must do whatever the house demands. no questions asked. invoking executive branch privileges in response to how subpoenas becomes an impeachable offense at trial. here's how chairmanship put it back in october quote any action, any action that forces us toga litigate after consider litigation will be evidence of his -- obstruction of justice. that mr. president is nonsense impeachment. that is nonsense. impeachment is not some magical constitutional trump card that melts away the separation between the branches of government. the framers did not leave a constitutional steamroller that anyone somehow overlooked for 20030 years. when congress subpoenas the executive branch officials with questions of privilege the two sides either reach an accommodation or they go to court. that's the way it works. so can you imagine if the shoe were on the other foot? how would democrats and the press have responded if house republicans had told president obama we don't want to litigate our s

corporate housing -- interim housing into one bucket. it does serve a need. i mean, we're on the verge of a global pandemic and we'll need travel nurses here. a lot of them can't rent from those larger corporations because i charge less money for my rental than the bigger players do. >> thank you for those comments. supervisor safye and i were having a sidebar about the need between now and next week or whenever there may be more hearings on this, to clarify the less than nine-unit definition and so i think i hear what you're saying and we can clarify that. >> it's a duplex but the building is from 1900. >> very helpful, thank you. >> thank you, supervisors. i'm paula mallard and i'm with synergy housing. synergy has spawned from oakwood global housing that existed for 60 years. representing corporate housing, i'm also somebody who has been affected by the limited demand -- limited supply, high demand in san francisco and also family in the east bay. so there are many, many items that impact that, not just furnished housing. what i'm her

it is my privilege to welcome you to decatur house as well as the white house historical association. tonight's program is exciting and we are honored to partner with our good friends at the richard nixon foundation. i would like to welcome dr. jim esther, inhis wife, the front row. [applause] hewitt the president of the nixon foundation who you will hear from in a few moments. we have many distinguished guests, many former officials from the nixon and other friends,ations, staff, and we are honored to have you here. this year marks the 50th anniversary of patricia nixon becoming the first lady of the united states. under her leadership, the white as collection added over 600 paintings and furnishing elements to the white house collection. that is the most of any presidency. the significance of this will be discussed in tonight's program but it is important to us here at the white house historical association as a core part of our mission. this was inspired by jacqueline kennedy to be the private, nonpartisan, private partner to the white house for conservation, preservation, restorat

shabby, shabby public housing but that is good housing means that it's available for people in those neighborhoods that also can be attractive to people outside of those neighborhoods. and so that would be different from building it in the so-called good neighborhoods now where african-americans are expected to uproot and leave. and i think that's not just cities. that's in suburbs. we now know that the majority of black people live in the suburbs, 60 percent. and so i think you know, i think that there's the placement and i thinkthat if , if we're talking about the building of something like this in our society as it's currently constituted, i think the issues around enforcement of civil rights laws and a commitment to integrated living spaces has to be followed through upon. and the original public housing that was created in 37 had an opportunity to do that. and there were explicit rules that kind of puts people in different kinds of housing. again, because of the concerns about property values and real estate and where black people were living. so i think those kinds of things ar

standards of housing.using on the cheap. in harlow, the council have now given themselves the power to block a number of office to residential conversions. 0ther councils are doing the same. what we really should be doing is investing in social housing, which actually is the only answer to the national housing emergency that we are in. ijust hope and wish that the people who are in those buildings have the shortest stay possible for them and they can move out and carry on with their lives in a more positive way. the government have announced they are launching a review into the quality of homes converted under permitted development rights. but they say they are committed to delivering the homes in this country needs and office conversions are playing an important part in making this a reality. so tens of thousands of people are likely to be living in converted buildings like this for years to come. a very warm welcome to bbc news. my name is mike embley. our top stories: it's been confirmed that the chines

that is housing. the lack of a portal housing is a growing crisis in every region of this country and communities of all sizes. wages have not kept up with the cost of living. especially the cost of rent. as a result, more and more americans are struggling to make ends meet. many are falling short and ending up without a proper roof over their head. every day, more than 6000 americans are evicted. many of them are families with children. 600,000iven day, about americans are homeless across our country. we just cannot accept that. >> here, here. fmr. mayor bloomberg: in december president trump tweeted that fixing homelessness would be "so easy, with confidence". let's say that competent is not his administration's strong suit. [laughter] the truth is, they have not even tried. the only time president trump mentions homeless people is when he is attacking them. but that is our for the course with this president. attack and divide, and a compass nothing. meanwhile, president trump has slashed funding fo

to get housing. protected tenants like never before, finally outlawing discrimination against people who have housing vouchers. [applause] gov. newsom: we created a permanent fund to provide legal assistance to at-risk tenants. and historically, we worked together to crack down on rent spikes and unjust evictions, passing the nation's strongest statewide renter protection. [applause] gov. newsom: that was a big deal, folks. that was a big deal. and thanks to your leadership, last year, i was privileged to sign 18 bills to boost housing production. but time and time again, bigger, bolder reform. it hasn't happened, in part, legitimately in part because of concerns that are not make-believe. many of our lowest income residents, understandably, worry about being pushed out of their communities because of gentrification. middle-class homeowners, they worry about their single-family home losing its value. it's a scary prospect. given the house is often the family's biggest asset. those are real concerns a

the russian process in the house. and why there is enough time to give the president a fair hearing. the words were repeated on video clips shown during this trial. urgent. urgency. what is happened to that urgency once the house started. did that speaker then rush the papers. so that it can be addressed for this imminent threat. hardly. speaker pelosi failed or held the articles for more than a month. if this trial was so urgent, why not send the articles without delay. then i might conclude by withholding the articles, the speaker exposed that she didn't believe this case was so urgent. perhaps it was an effort to influence our procedural decisions. madam president, i do not have motives here. i will prohibit me from doing so. i nearly and noting an obvious change for whatever reason and as i consider the high bar of impeachment tomorrow, i will vote not to convict. i will do so because there's not overwhelming evidence. because no high crimes are shown, because there is not a broad consensus among my countrymen onl

[ applause ] we got to strike up our game. we got to wake up our community so people can spending more r time with their family and less time in traffic. this is a commitment. right now this year to major reform that'll eliminate red tape and delays for building critically needed housing like affordable multi family homes especially near transits and downtown.

the top leader of the majority party in the house is the speaker of the house.usan: before we delve into history, i want our audience to know who they are listening to. you are teaching at catholic university. what courses do you teach? professor green: i teach introduction to american politics. i also teach courses on political institutions. i teach a class on american congress. i teach a class called power in american politics. we talk about the executive branch and the legislative branch. we talk about trump's election, why that happened and the politics that surround the trump presidency. susan: how did you get into teaching and join the academy? professor green: my father was a history professor. i ended up after college going to capitol hill and working as a legislative aid for a number of years. i ended up combining my interest in academia with my fascination and love for legislative politics into the job i have now. susan: what period of time were you on the hill? professor green: 1993 to 1988. -- 1998. i do not know how close i got. i was not working fo

the house manager brough house s up frequently. lieutenant colonel vindman admitted on the testimony he did not know if there was a crime or anything of that nature, that is his quote, but again he had deep policy concerns. so, there you have it. the real issue is policy disputes. elections have consequences, and we all know that. and if you do not like the policies and the particular administration or a particular candidate, you are welcome to prefer anothevote for another c. the answer is elections, not impeachment. to be clear, and our country in the united states, the president elected by the american people is in the words of the supreme court, the sole organ of the federal government in the field of international relations and foreign policy for the government. no unelected bureaucrat, not unhappy members of the house of representatives, and however you are defining high crimes and misdemeanors, there is no definition that includes disagreeing with a policy decision as an acceptable ground for the removal of the president of

we've helped mobile, alabama, rehabilitate blighted housing. we help allied to develop bold plans to build affordable housing, and those are just a few of the places we have worked here we made progress in new york but we know we didn't totally solve those problems. we know we could of done so much more with help from the federal government. and that is true of cities around the country who are grappling with affordability and homelessness. our plan will provide cities and counties with the hope they need so we can extend assistance 2 million more cams and get to work building the millions of new affordable units we need to address this crisis. help more low income americans become homeowners, because the number of -- increase the number of black homeowners by 1 million and cut homelessness in half four years nationwide. [applause] these are not pipedreams. we can do these things. let me just described a few of the steps we will take to get there. first, ensuring every american can afford a home in their own community. middle-class americans ar

[laughter] my house is the yellow house that you see there, and 617, the house is at the back. and both those houses, the house you can see right at the corner, both those houses were built in 1907. one was built in the year, mine was in the front, and that's how it stayed for over a hundred years. when i got the house, as you can see here, the front of the house still looked from what it was in 1907. you can see straight through the house. it's a small house. i have two little bedrooms in the front. and i have kept the character and the fabric of the neighborhood. when i moved in, there was an illegal part of my house which we didn't know about, which was undisclosed to us, which was built in 1970 illegally. and this is the part where you see the windows. and we worked tirelessly with the planning department, you guys told us to do this, and we built our house with our money. and basically this is the only window that gives light in the house. so the rest of the house basically is dark. those windows are taken away. this is the view from my house. and as you can see, we worked

the house did what it was supposed to do the house impeached this president. charged this president with two articles of impeachment. one was the obstruction of congress. i like to think of it as an obstruction of a congressional investigation. the other was abuse of power. the senate did not find the president guilty of either article -- either of the articles of impeachment. but the house still did its job. because the house has a duty, a responsibility, and obligation to move forward notwithstanding what may be the case in the senate. the house doesn't act based upon what the senate is perceived to do or not do. the house must act based upon the evidence that is before it. and the house did act. and the house did impeach. and as a result, regardless as the senate, g of the president is impeached. forever. and it will be forever written in history that this president was impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. why is this so important? it's important because not with standing the finding in the senate, the president knows now that the house has the coura

housing? we're in a housing crisis. you're planning commissioners. you oversee the planning department. plan. we have a crisis. plan for that crisis and get this housing built now. you know, it's boggling to me that in a time when people are living on the streets, that we're not doing everything in our power to get as many roofs built over people's heads. so please consider rezoning this area for housing in addition to other uses. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> i'm shap shane o'connor. i'm, like, right on 101 and couldn't be closer to the bayview without living there. i have a business called gardenville station on gerald avenue boarding kirkwood and it's 150-year-old building and probably the oldest building in the bit. it has had many, many lives. what we do with it now is we have it set up as office space for small design built businesses and, also, there's a good sized woodshop and we have outdoor work space and shipping containers that get used as studio space. we proba

but we can't house them if we don't have more housing. and if we take this money, millions and millions of dollars, $28 million for two, $230 million for all eight, and we put it only into navigation centers, we will not have the resources needed to create those housing exits. [please stand by] >> they pay attention to neighborhoods and to need. and so while one -- while one might be across the line in somebody's district, that's not necessarily we should be thinking about this. we should think about where people are experiencing homelessness. where can we find sites to build with taxpayer resources. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> if i can just jump in, first of all, i appreciate the process, as this has been evolving since 2015. and understand on the one hand the need for flexibility, as the department juggles different tools. on the other hand, i think that the notion of a fair share of criteria, whether it's in this city or other cities like our nation's capital or new york, also makes sense. but i concur with the department that that

over in the house. a question to be asked. in the fast track impeachment process in the house of representatives, the house majority persuade the american not just partisans, but rather, did the house's case win over the overwhelming majority and consensus of the american people? the question fairly to be asked. i cast my vote -- why cast my v remove the president of the united states when not a single vote in the republican party was persuaded. in contrast, when i was hear last week, i noticed in the record of these proceedings that in the nixon impeachment, the house vote to authorize the impeachment inquiry was 410 to 4. in the clinton impeachment, divisive, controversial, 31 democrats voted in favor of the impeachment inquiry. here, of course, and in sharp contrast, the answer is none. it is said that we live in highly, and perhaps hopelessly, partisan times. it is said that no one is open to persuasion anymore. they're getting their news entirely from their favorite media platform, and that platfor

that proceedings in the house? and manager schiff says thing would be arbitrary if you don't do what they say and call the witnesses they want. wasn't it are temporary in the house when way wouldn't allow the president to be represented by counsel, wouldn't allow the president to call witnesses? there was in precedent in a presidential impeachment inquiry to have opening hearings where the president and his counsel were excluded. it also would set a precedent to allow a package of proceedings from the house to come here that the house managers say now we >> they did not subpoena john bolton and they did not go through the process when other witnesses were subpoenaed when charlie cooperman went to court they withdrew the subpoena. and now they say it has to do all the work that sets a new precedent as well and changes the relationship s between the house and senate and impeachment inquiry that the senate has to become the investigatory body. and the principles that they assert they did a process that was not fair.t

why the houses subpoenas were valid. how the house appropriately exercised its impeachment authority. how the presidents strategy was to stall and obstructive. we have explained how the president, after the facts, reliance on unfounded and in some cases brand new legalal privileges, were shockingly transparent cover for a presidents dictate of blankets obstruction. we have underscored how the presidents defiance of congress is unprecedented in the history of our republic. and we all know, that an innocent person would eagerly provide testimony and documents to clear his name. as the president apparently thought he w was doing, mistakenly, when he released the call records of his to telephone calls with president zelensky. and even as the present has claimed to be protecting the presidency, remember that the president never actually invoked executive privilege throughout this entire inquiry. a revealing fact, given the laws of prohibition on invoking presidential ngprivilege to shield wrongdoing.. but yet according to the

as a result, the white house meeting remained unscheduled. just as it remains unscheduled to this day. during this same time frame in august, the president persisted in maintaining the hold on the aid, despite warnings he was breaking the law by doing so. as an independent watchdog recently confirmed that he did. according to the evidence, presented to you, the president's entire cabinet believed he should release the aid, because it was in the national security interest of our country. during the entire month of august, there was no internal review of the aid, congress was not notified, nor was there any credible reason provided within the executive branch. with no explanation offered, and with the explicit clear yet unsuccessful quid pro quo for the white house meeting, and the front of his mind, ambassador sondland testified that the only logical conclusion was that the president was also withholding military assistance to increase the pressure on ukraine to announce the investigations. as sondland and another witness testified, this concl

we're not building enough housing. look, i get cities need to meet their housing goals in a way that matches their communities, but doing nothing is no longer an option. [applause] it can't be. as a former mayor, look, i respect local control, but not at the cost of creating two california class system. not at the cost of imperiling the california dream and that's what we're doing. [applause] it cannot be-- what's happening. you have to wake up. got to step up our game. [applause] we've got to grow communities so people can live, work, thrive, spending more time with their families, less time in traff traffic. this means, this means a commitment right now this year to major reform that will eliminate red tape and delays for building critically needed housing, like affordable multi-family homes, especially near transit and downtown. [applause] i am committed -- i am committed to working with the leaders of both the senate and the assembly to pass these needed reforms. our objectives are clear, increase density in a way

when the house and the president could not reach an accommodation, the house failed to compel testimony and document production. the house actually withdrew a subpoena seeking testimony from kupperman, a national security aide, once he went to court for guidance. issue ae chose not to subpoena to john bolton, the national security advisor whom the house has identified as the key witness. at a minimum the house should have pursued the full extent of its own remedies before bringing impeachment charges including by seeking the -- via systems of a neutral third party, the judicial branch. in making these choices, the d its ownstitute political preference for speed over finality. the house managers described impeachment as a last resort for congress. houses case, however, the chose to skip the basic steps of judicial adjudication and instead led straight to impeachment as the first resource -- resort. therefore i will vote to acquit on article two. decisionsident, this is not about whether you like or dislike this president or agree with or oppose his policies. disapprove of his conduct in

when house democrats say that we are fighting to lower health care costs, when house democrats say we are fighting to strengthen the affordable care act, when house democrats say we are fighting to protect more than 100 million americans with pre-existing conditions, we mean it. and we mean it because children like your daughter and we are just not fighting on a democratic or republican issue this is an american issue. it's a life-or-death issue and that's why we are committed. health care, health care, health care on behalf of every day americans. let me now yield for any questions. [indiscernible question] mr. jeffries: we are willing to work with republicans to strengthen the affordable care act which is the law that is currently in place. and the notion that senator mcconnell, senate republicans, house republicans and president trump would somehow come up with a magical plan to protect people with pre-existing conditions when they have been determined for 10 years to repeal the affordable care act and we don't see an alternative plan. they don't have a plan to repeal and replace t

the fact is, we had not done enough to build housing so that we have what we need to get people housed. we just haven't. so here in the city we are lucky because people care about making sure people are housed. the 600 million-dollar affordable housing bond passed by voters will be a great opportunity to invest in building more affordable housing , but we can't build it fast enough. so having access to the abigail, having access to the post street -- post street site and the bristol where there is another step up housing, those are so important to getting people housed now. so i just want to thank everyone who is here today and all of your work that sometimes escapes under the radar and people are not completely familiar with everything that goes into making an opportunity like this possible. it is appreciated, it's going to make a difference for 89 people at post street and 62 people right here at the abigail. it's going to make a difference for so many people and i'm so grateful we have this opportunity to do just that today. how the person who has helped in our efforts to move the n

when the house voted to impeach him. when they passed the articles of impeachment against president clinton. mostly party line. just a few crossovers. but when those articles of impeachment went over to the u.s. senate and they had to vote there on whether or not to convict him and remove him from office, just like it was with president andrew johnson in the previous century, the exact same pattern held. no member of president clinton's own party would cast a vote to actually convict him on any of the articles of impeachment and there by remove him from office. so now we are in our third century as country. our national miss such things is apparently that we get one presidential impeachment per century. and today, as the 21st century impeachment trial of president donald trump came to a close, it ended with a surprise, a historical twist. of course it takes a 2/3 vote in the senate, a large super majority vote in the senate to convict a president on articles of impeachment and remove him from office. impeachments are rar

we need once a month. >> from school, you can't get out of the house and senate or the white house and sign it. >> we are focused on not just getting it done on the house but also getting it in fron t of th president's desk. well, we want to get action on those. a lot of those are new hampshire consent but also in the senate that every senator has democrats and republicans. we'll show and we'll start and work with senators and build a unanimous consent over the senate. >> we are going to bring it here in the house. now, let's see if we can pair them up with members of the house and get it done. let's get it out of the house and get it to the president's desk. >> they agree to it and it comes back to you. any bills that we have identified 14 of them, and a sub component of them and bills that are widely supported. american people want to get something done. first call is a democratic from your district, in new york. linda. go ahead. >> yes, good morning. i have a couple of comments. better than that, i have a question about a friend of mine just last night told me that she's done a medi

as folks know, about 65% of of y how housing is rental housing. one out of three tenant households are severe housing programs. 30,000 units of our housing is considered subsidized to be permanently affordable. 60% of tenants live in rent-controlled buildings. that adds up to 139 million households that are low or moderate income. in this most recent year, we have had a little over 2600 eviction lawsuits filing and about 581 default judgments have been entered. the sheriff's department has been given 926 court orders to he convict just to give you an idea of what that looks like -- to evict, just to give you an idea of what that looks like. outreach can be provided by attorneys, sometimes by other peer counselors. we provide alternative dispute resolution, which we have found to be especially helpful in cases where individuals are living in subsidized housing often overseen by our nonprofit housing providers and direct financial assistance, ongoing emergency rental assistance and sometimes emergency rental assistance. so briefly, before we launch

and if it can't be that way and the only option is no housing, that's fine with me. that's an anti-housing position. >> yeah and i would look straight at the top if i could, if i do magic wand. >> it is going to require federal help. a san francisco advocate told me that years ago. as every year passes i hear more and more people say it, our housing and homeless issues are simply too large to be tackled on a local level. but as you see on your ballot we keep trying. >> but unfortunately we are going in the opposite direction. whenever there is less and less money coming from the federal government. the trump administration wants to put less money into hud and we lose more and more affordable housing every year and yet we get the same thing. >> what i find fascinating is they're trying to reject what's going to happen in 20 years. go back to 2000. nobody knew tech was going to be as big as its right now in this area. 20 years from now, flip a coin and tell me what is going to be like. >> you mentioned is going to be a task force answered of the conglomerate groups in

as well as no housing at all. one of the things that i appreciate the most about theresa is she keeps her mind firm, and she knows all about these policies because she helped advocate for them, so please support theresa imperial. thank you. >> good morning, commissioners. my name is maya, and i am with the council of community housing organizations. i am here in support of the nomination of theresa imperial to the planning commission. i am so, so thrilled to be here in support of her. i've had the pleasure of working alongside her for the past 1.5 years, and she is just amazing. she works alongside others, and she has the passion that we need on the commission. and she -- yeah, i could not have picked a better person to be on the commission. she sees beyond the architecture of our buildings and sees the persons who over the years created and recreated our neighborhoods. so she's extremely qualified. she cofounded a housing program, which you heard about. i am here really in support of theresa. >> hello, supervisor

build that housing.wasn't here decades ago when we imposed restrictive laws to prevent more housing, but i will be here when we start build housing in san francisco and the bay area again. it is time. so here's what i want the next decade to look like. i want this to be the decade where we no longer walk by a person shooting up or a person who's shouting out of control or suffering on our streets and shrug our shoulders or turn away and wonder, what should we do? i am determined over the next four years to take in people with addiction and mental health problems so that when you encounter someone in need, you can make a call and know that person will get the help they need. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: as i said before, compassion can no longer mean anything goes. i want this to be the decade when residents and visitors to our city can enjoy every neighborhood every single day without fear of crime or unacceptable behavior. we have what we know is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. th
