Representative Huffman: Madam Speaker, history is watching and saving the receipts. Today, my colleagues across the aisle must choose which side of a very bright line they want to be recorded on for all time. 

On one side: lies, sedition, inciting and supporting insurrection and domestic terrorism.

The other side: your oath of office, the constitution, democracy, decency. 

There is no middle ground. 

Today, we make history forever. So choose well. A vote to impeach Donald Trump means years from now, you can look your grandchildren in the eye and say ‘I did the right thing’. 

I yield back.
