,,iv #aafth ,,congress #ast ,session ,h4 ,,res4 #gca ,,in ,,the ,,house ,,of ,,representatives ,november #bb1 #bjai,ms4 ,jackson ,lee submitted the following resolution2 which was referred to the ,committee on the ,judiciary ,,resolution ,condemning the inflammatory and racially offensive statement of the ,president of the ,united ,states suggesting falsely a moral equivalence between the domestic terrorist act of lynching and the constitutionally provided congressional impeachment power4 ,whereas in ,february #bjad1 the military of the ,russia ,federation1 without merit or cause1 invaded the eastern part of the free and independent country of ,ukraine1 including the ,donbass region and the ,crimean ,peninsula2 ,whereas the ,united ,states1 a strategic ally of ,ukraine1 reacted swiftly to the ,russian invasion1 condemning the military action in strong and bipartisan fashion1 and providing military1 humanitarian1 and non-military financial assistance to the determined but beleaguered nation of ,ukraine1 which since #bjad has totaled approximately #a4e billion2 ,whereas in ,september #bjai1 members of the ,house of ,representatives were alerted to a complaint filed by a whistleblower within the ,intelligence ,community alleging that on a ,july #be1 #bjai1 call with the ,president of ,ukraine1 the current ,president of the ,united ,states sought to withhold #cia million in foreign military aid to ,ukraine unless and until it announced publicly that it was currently conducting corruption investigations against one of the ,american president's political rivals2 ,whereas1 on ,september #be1 #bjai1 the ,white ,house released a ,memorandum of ,conversation in which the ,july #be1 #bjai1 telephone conversation between the presidents of the ,united ,states and of ,ukraine was memorialized and which corroborated in all material respects the allegations of the whistleblower2 ,whereas the ,memorandum of ,conversation released by the ,white ,house confirms that the ,president of the ,united ,states engaged in behavior that undermines the integrity of ,american elections1 demeans the dignity of the office of the ,president of the ,united ,states1 and jeopardizes the security of the ,united ,states2 ,whereas1 on ,september #bd1 #bjai1 the ,speaker of the ,house announced that the ,house of ,representatives would commence an impeachment inquiry pursuant to its constitutional authority under article ,i1 section #b1 clause #e to determine whether in connection with the ,july #be1 #bjai1 telephone conversation with the ,president of ,ukraine1 the ,president of the ,united ,states has engaged in conduct constituting ,treason1 ,bribery1 or other ,high ,crimes or ,misdemeanors as specified in article ,,ii1 section #d2 ,whereas1 on ,october #bb1 #bjai1 bemoaning his fate1 but not regretting his conduct1 the ,president of the ,united ,states tweeted that ,all ,republicans must remember what they are witnessing here--a lynching1 thus falsely drawing a moral equivalence between the exercise of the impeachment power expressly and solely conferred on the ,house of ,representatives by the ,constitution and lynching1 the most heinous act of domestic terrorism and symbolic of one of the darkest and most shameful periods in ,america's past2 ,whereas the statement asserted in the ,president's tweet is false1 inflammatory1 racially offensive1 unbecoming the ,nation's ,chief ,magistrate but consistent with prior statements the ,president has made to stoke to division1 discord1 and disharmony among the ,american people2 ,whereas the current ,president of the ,united ,states burnished his political reputation by claiming falsely for more than #e years that his predecessor was born in ,kenya and not the ,united ,states and thus was an illegitimate ,president2 ,whereas the current ,president of the ,united ,states launched his #bjaf campaign for the ,presidency said of persons from ,mexico seeking to immigrate to the ,united ,states3 ,they're bringing drugs4 ,they're bringing crime4 ,they're rapists42 ,whereas the current ,president of the ,united ,states claimed that a ,hispanic ,federal jurist could not preside over a court proceeding to which he was a defendant accused of civil fraud because ,he's a ,mexican42 ,whereas in ,january #bjah the current ,president of the ,united ,states is reported to have inquired of his advisors3 ,why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here81 referring to persons from countries in ,africa1 the ,caribbean1 and ,central and ,south ,america2 ,whereas1 on ,august #ae1 #bjag1 the current ,president of the ,united ,states said he regarded as some very fine people1 the neo-,nazis1 ,white supremacists1 and ,ku ,klux ,klansmen who descended on the peaceful community of ,charlottesville1 ,virginia1 to advocate racism and were met by peaceful counter-protestors2 ,whereas in his continuous and determined effort to exacerbate ethnic tensions and racial divisions in the body politic1 the current ,president of the ,united ,states is revealing himself to be an unwitting instrument of the plan hatched in ,moscow by ,russian ,federation ,president ,vladimir ,putin to interfere in the #bjaf presidential campaign to help elect his preferred candidate and sow discord and division among the ,american people2 and ,whereas statements and actions of the current ,president of the ,united ,states demean the office he holds and falls short of the standard set by the #afth ,president1 whose administration was devoted to unity1 healing1 and ending racial division and who famously foretold in his ,march #d1 #ahfa1 ,inaugural ,address the reasons why the efforts of the current ,president of the ,united ,states are destined to fail3 ,we are not enemies1 but friends4 ,we must not be enemies4 ,though passion may have strained1 it must not break our bonds of affection4 ,the mystic chords of memory1 stretching from every battlefield1 and patriot grave1 to every living heart and hearthstone1 all over this broad land1 will swell when again touched1 as surely they will be1 by the better angels of our nature43 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the ,house of ,representatives-- 7#a7 strongly condemns the false1 inflammatory1 and racially offensive tweet made by the ,president of the ,united ,states on ,october #bb1 #bjai1 falsely drawing a moral equivalence between the exercise of the impeachment power expressly and solely conferred on the ,house of ,representatives by the ,constitution and lynching1 the most heinous act of domestic terrorism and symbolic of one of the darkest and most shameful periods in ,america's past2 and 7#b7 calls upon all ,americans to read1 celebrate1 and revere the ,constitution of the ,united ,states1 fidelity to which is the surest best means of forming a more perfect union1 establishing justice1 ensuring domestic tranquility1 providing for the common defense1 promoting the general welfare1 and securing the blessing of liberty to them and their posterity4
