mr. chair mr. chairman, i've heard continually from the other side this argument about obstruction of justice. obstruction of congress, rather. i apologize. i am baffled. more i think about it the more i'm baffled. in colorado we have a different term for that. we call it a campaign promise. you see when congress has a 14% approval rating, it's somewhere between being as popular as shingles in an allexpen-expense trip to north "consumer reports." -- north korea. we have a national debt of over $22 trillion. we have a deficit of over $1 trillion. this year. we were sent here to obstruct this congress. we were sent here to make sure that this power of the purse is actually exercised around this place. we were sent here to make sure we didn't nationalize and ruin health care. sent here to secure the border and do our very best. to prohibit sanctuary cities in this country. we were sent here to stop this body from ignoring states' rights. yesterday we passed the ndaa bill. somehow someone slipped i

i yield back. >> mr. chair, i would yield the balance of my time to mr. cicilliny from rhode island. >> i want to remind my colleagues we have introduced into the record a letter from 500 legal scholars that really reinforces the point mr. neguse just made and i'll read from it. the primary check on a president's power is political. if a president behaves poorly voters can punish him or his party at the polls. but a president who corrupts the system of elections seeks to place himself beyond the reach of this political check. at the constitutional convention george mason described the impeachable offenses as attempt to subvert the constitution. corrupting elections subverts the process by which the constitution makes the president democratically accountable. this is what impeachment is for. i ask my republican colleagues how many of you would allow or solicit a foreign power to help in your re-elections? please raise your hands. not one of you because you know it would violate the constitution and corrupt the american people to decide -- it would be like
