(1) the raid on Mar-a-Lago on August 8, 2022 (in 
lieu of other less coercive measures), conducted by the 
FBI at the behest of Attorney General Merrick Garland;

(2) the ‘‘investigation’’ being led by John ‘‘Jack’’ 
Luman Smith; 
Whereas, on August 11, 2023, legislation was introduced in 
the House of Representatives to prohibit the use of Fed-
eral funds to pay the salary of Jack Smith; 
Whereas ongoing efforts to remove Donald John Trump from 
the ballot, including the effort by the incumbent Colorado 
secretary of state, amount to the disenfranchisement of 
millions of Americans and a deliberate assault on the Na-
tion’s electoral process; 
Whereas efforts to remove Donald Trump from the ballot of 
any State ought to be condemned fully by Americans of 
good will; 
Whereas Democrats have also gone so far as to politicize im-
peachment to undermine President Trump; 
Whereas the Democratic Party’s intention to politicize the 
impeachment process was made clear on July 16, 2019, 
when Congressman Al Green of Texas attempted to im-
peach President Trump for ‘‘racism’’; 
Whereas House Democrats chose again to politicize impeach-
ment in December 2019 on the basis that President 
Trump allegedly withheld Ukrainian assistance unless 
President Zelensky of Ukraine agreed to investigate the 
Bidens; 
Whereas security assistance was delivered to the Ukrainians

quid pro quo arrangement; 
Whereas the second impeachment of President Donald J. 
Trump, on the basis that the President ‘‘incited an insur-
rection’’ on January 6, 2021, predictably failed; 
Whereas President Trump told a large group of supporters 
that day to ‘‘peacefully and patriotically make your voices 
heard’’; 
Whereas President Trump did nothing wrong on January 6, 
2021; 
Whereas hyperpartisanship often guided the Democratic Par-
ty’s reactions to various events during the Trump Presi-
dency; 
Whereas massive protests began against President Trump 
upon his taking office in January 2017, with dishonest 
reporting lambasting his Executive Order 13769 (later 
superseded by Executive Order 13780) as a ‘‘Muslim 
ban’’, even while Executive Order 13769 and subsequent 
orders did not apply to the vast majority of Muslim-ma-
jority countries, including Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, 
and further included 3 countries then designated on the 
Department of State’s State Sponsors of Terrorism list; 
Whereas Democrats insisted that the elimination of Qassim 
Soleimani in January 2020 would lead to World War III, 
ignoring the fact that Soleimani was responsible for thou-

Whereas the Washington Post and New York Times pub-

Democrats, that President Trump and his administration

Whereas, in April 2021, the United States intelligence com-
munity found it only had ‘‘low to moderate confidence’’ 
in those allegations; 
Whereas an industry of ‘‘fake news’’, spearheaded by Presi-
dent Trump’s political opponents in an effort to discredit 
him, sprang up during his Presidency; 
Whereas President Trump remains the most successful Presi-
dent in recent history, made all the more impressive in 
light of relentless leftist opposition to his agenda; 
Whereas some of those accomplishments include— 
(1) moving the United States Embassy from Tel 
Aviv to Jerusalem after decades of inaction by previous 
administrations; 
(2) destroying the ‘‘Arab consensus’’ and brokering 
4 Arab-Israeli peace accords; 
(3) pulling the United States out of the Joint Com-
prehensive Plan of Action, better known as the Iran nu-

(4) eliminating the head of the Quds Force, Qassem 
Soleimani; 
(5) setting up (pre-COVID), the strongest United

(B) reducing tax burdens on Americans, nearly 
doubling the standard deductions for single and 
married persons, and cutting the corporate tax rate 
from 35 percent to 21 percent to bring more jobs 
back to the United States;
