Trump for his involvement in and incitement of the violent attacks at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Whereas President Trump held a rally on January 6, 2021, during which he encouraged the crowd to storm the United States Capitol, resulting in a violent uprising against the authority of the United States; Whereas in his address to the crowd that led to the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, President Trump stated, We’re gathered together in the heart of our Nation’s Capital for very, very basic and simple reason: to save our democracy … you have to get your people to fight … if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore … so we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue and we’re going to the Capitol. ; Whereas under section 373 of title 18, United States Code, the Federal crime of solicitation to commit a crime of violence applies to Whoever, with intent that another person engage in conduct constituting a felony that has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against property or against the person of another in violation of the laws of the United States, and under circumstances strongly corroborative of that intent, solicits, commands, induces, or otherwise endeavors to persuade such other person to engage in such conduct … ; Whereas the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, conducted by the crowd President Trump addressed, constitutes a rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States; Whereas the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, conducted by the crowd President Trump addressed, constitutes seditious conspiracy under section 2384 of title 18, United States Code, according to the Department of Justice memorandum on September 17, 2020, which states, Section 2384 does not require proof of a plot to overthrow the U.S. Government … it also applies to conspiracies with any of the following objects: to oppose by force the authority [of the Government of the United States]; by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States; or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof. ; Whereas no citizen of the United States is above the law, even the President of the United States or a former President of the United States; and Whereas, as of January 20, 2021, at 12:01 p.m., the Department of Justice memorandum issued in 1973 that prevents Federal prosecutors from charging a sitting President with a crime no longer applies to Donald J. Trump: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives directs the Department of Justice to open a criminal investigation into Donald J. Trump for his actions related to the attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.

RES. 47 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 13, 2021 Mr. Lynch (for himself and Mr. Rodney Davis of Illinois ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Reform RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should take all appropriate measures to ensure that the United States Postal Service remains an independent establishment of the Federal Government and is not subject to privatization.

Whereas the United States Postal Service is a constitutionally mandated service per article I, section 8, clause 7 of the Constitution; Whereas the United States Postal Service is a self-sustaining, independent establishment that does not receive taxpayer funding and relies solely on revenue derived from the sale of postal services and products; Whereas the United States Postal Service and its more than 500,000 employees are at the center of the $1.4 trillion mailing industry, employing a total of 7.5 million Americans; Whereas the United States Postal Service serves the needs of 157 million business and residential customers at least six days a week, maintains an affordable and universal network, and connects the country’s rural, suburban, and urban communities; Whereas the United States Postal Service is consistently the highest rated agency of the Federal Government in nonpartisan opinion polls; Whereas the United States Postal Service is the Nation’s second-largest employer of military veterans; Whereas postal employees are dedicated public servants who do more than process and deliver the Nation’s mail, they serve as the eyes and ears of the Nation’s communities and often respond first in situations involving health, safety, and crime in their communities; Whereas privatization of the United States Postal Service would result in higher prices and reduced services for its customers, especially in rural communities; and Whereas privatization of the United States Postal Service would jeopardize the booming e-commerce sector and cripple a major part of the Nation’s critical infrastructure: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should take all appropriate measures to ensure that the United States Postal Service remains an independent establishment of the Federal Government and not subject to privatization.

Whereas there are approximately two million women veterans living in the United States, who have served their Nation with honor and distinction, yet their service is often forgotten and they become invisible veterans ; Whereas such women have made invaluable contributions since the American Revolution; Whereas Deborah Sampson of Massachusetts and Margaret Corbin of New York, served during the American Revolution and were wounded in combat, and Congress granted both pioneering women pensions for their service; Whereas Dr. Mary Edwards Walker served as a surgeon during the American Civil War, and is the only woman to date to have been awarded the Medal of Honor; Whereas Cathy Williams, who was born a slave, enlisted in the United States Regular Army disguised as a man and served in the American West for three years; Whereas Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee, a Navy Nurse who served during World War I, was the first woman to receive the Navy Cross; Whereas Hazel Lee, the first Asian-American woman to become a military pilot, flew with Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) during World War II; Whereas eight women gave their lives serving in Vietnam, including 1st Lieutenant Sharon Ann Lane, 2nd Lieutenant Pamela Dorothy Donovan, Lieutenant Colonel Annie Ruth Graham, Captain Amy Therese Klinkers, 2nd Lieutenant Carol Ann Elizabeth Drazba, 2nd Lieutenant Elizabeth Ann Jones, Capt. Eleanor Grace Alexander, and 1st Lieutenant Hedwig Diane Orowski; Whereas Specialist Lori Piestewa, a member of the Hopi Tribe, was the first Native-American woman in history to die in combat while serving in the United States military and the first woman in the United States military killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom; Whereas 1st Lieutenant Ashley White and Captain Jennifer Moreno, both soldiers and Cultural Support Team members, gave their lives for our Nation serving in action alongside the special operations forces they supported in Afghanistan; Whereas United States Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Shannon Kent, cryptologic technician, wife, and mother, was killed in action in Manbij, Syria; and Whereas these women warriors and millions of others should be honored for their service and recognized for their important contributions to this Nation: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas, on January 6, 2021, at the urging of President Donald J. Trump, insurrectionists gathered to besiege the United States Capitol in a violent attempt to overturn the 2020 electoral college results; Whereas, on that day, President Trump addressed the insurrectionists and continued his previous attacks on the media, calling journalists the biggest problem we have ; Whereas President Trump then falsely claimed that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen by the fake news media ; Whereas President Trump then labeled the media the enemy of the people and again referred to it as the biggest problem we have in this country ; Whereas the insurrectionists then surrounded, threatened, and struck journalists, destroying equipment and forcing personnel to flee for fear of their safety; Whereas insurrectionists continued to target journalists throughout their invasion of the Capitol, vandalizing one door with their intent to Murder the media ; and Whereas despite the overwhelming threats to their lives, journalists bravely continued to report on the bloody January 6th insurrection while also protecting and caring for victims caught in the attack: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas the USS Pueblo is a commissioned ship of the United States Navy captured by North Korea on January 23, 1968; Whereas the USS Pueblo carried three 50-caliber machine guns and were not fired when the USS Pueblo was being seized by North Korean patrol boats and engaged in no hostilities against anyone, including North Korea; Whereas the United States has made clear that the USS Pueblo was on an intelligence collection mission in the Sea of Japan at the time of its seizure by North Korea; Whereas intelligence collection by vessels of this type is a standard and accepted practice in the world today; Whereas the USS Pueblo was engaged in a mission that is accepted by the navies and governments of the world; Whereas the USS Pueblo had strict orders to remain at all times at a distance more than 13 nautical miles from the nearest point in North Korean territory, in order to avoid any possible incident. The United States has no reason to believe the orders were not obeyed; Whereas even in the case of a warship that has entered territorial waters, the coastal state is not entitled to assert any jurisdiction over it other than to require the warship to leave the territorial sea if the warship does not comply with regulations of the coastal state concerning passage through the territorial sea and disregards a request for compliance; Whereas the United States contends international law gives no such right to seize a foreign war vessel within the territorial waters of North Korea; and Whereas all evidence shows that the USS Pueblo was on the high seas: Now, therefore, be it
