ms. greene, for five minutes. ms. greene: thank you, madam speaker. i'd like to urge the house and the senate together to consider what terrible days we are in for the american taxpayer. america has been enslaved in $34 trillion in debt, and yet over the weekend the senate went into overtime throughout the super bowl and beyond into the early morning hours to pass a $95 billion package to fund foreign wars. $95 billion. not a penny of that goes to anything for any american. our border is completely being invited -- being invaded every single day by millions of people all over the world, 160 countries. over two million got aways are in america today a got away is a person from a country we do not know where they are from. we do not know where they are inside our country. what state they are in. what city they are in. we do not know what they are going to do here on our homeland. but we have lost them. over 10 million people have crossed the border during the biden administration. yet the senate works overtime to fund foreign wars? $the 95 billion and $

i now recognize ms. green for five minutes. >> congress has the responsibility to hold the executive branch accountable when they failed to uphold their oath of office, abuse their authority and, or, are dishonest with the american people. this is essential and a constitutional republic built on separation of powers. a 2023 ruling, united states versus texas, the supreme court left the house of representatives with little choice but to pursue impeachment articles against secretary mayorkas. the majority did not address the secretary's policy to mandate the marriage but simply ruled the state did not have the standing to challenge them and the justices wrote that congress has political tools available to push back on the policies. the only one that makes sense in the current political environment is impeachment. democrats have completely rejected our strongest security bill for our border. the actions and decisions clearly meet the standards necessary for initiating impeachment proceedings. this historical evid

ms. greene is wrong in the president supplemental appropriations request. ask for more funding for i.c.e. detention. he asked for more funding for border patrol agents for asylum officers come for immigration judges,fo for uscis officials to process everything because with such a backlog of the asylum process. but where he is being impeached right now because he did not put everyone inhe jail. that's what we said. now, mr. bishop has a policy no, no, no, no. well, obviously there arere some circumstances when that everyone can be detained, and in the circumstances then that everybody should be detained. so i figured it out. we have the impeachment of secretary mayorkas, because the law says that immigrant shall be detained unless it is the judgment of representative dan bishop of north carolina that they are exempt from detention. thank you. i yield back. >> the gentleman yields, in time. i thank the gentleman. ladies and gentlemen, we have votes going on right now. we're going to recess and he will reconvene at 4:40. at 4:40 will be starting back in you. w

so i wonder why ms. greennds for is the fact that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle directed by donald trump, as they often always are, do not want to pass bipartisan border policy legislation that would fix many of the problems that you all have spoken about all day long. that is the rub. that's why we are here. rather than negotiating a bipartisan piece of legislation that is needed because the executive branch does not have the authority and the funding they need to deal with the situation at the border. and unfortunately we are going through this sure rate and we will continue to go because you all want to make this issue a political issue for november of this year rather than find actual solutions. i yield to mr. abbott. >> i thank you. i want to say that from the last two arguments that we have heard and they think these are strange stringent claims that this is no policy dispute and clearly you have a right to that position if you have a boat to carry it. i'm not offering this amendment to tr

ms. taylor green said several times, we are not talking about the constitution here, well, that is pretty obvious. the high tension part, we have seen our colleagues across the aisle, pontificating, fox news, fund raising, certainly, that is high tension. i bet our founding fathers are simply rolling over in their grave, as they hear some of the interpretations of what they said and did at the constitutional convention. mason, citing that as though that provision went into the constitution, no it did not. selective siting of madison, and not looking at the federalist papers that came later to explain the constitution to serve. this is what the american people want, this is what the american people want, you know, i am not seeing any polling numbers where the american people wanted to impeach secretary mayorkas. they wanted to solve the problem at the border, which we have a number of opportunities to do. there are several bills in this committee that we could be looking at, involving fentanyl, and the senate compromise, and the budget that came out of the office of the president to increa
