Madam Speaker,
During the Bush Administration when much concern was being shown regarding the abuse of power by the Executive Branch, you adamantly refused to entertain congressional hearings on many relevant issues, such as torture or even consider impeachment hearings for President Bush. In fact, you were too accommodating to the Republican opposition, not because you sided with them, but perhaps because you did not want to make waves or fight a conservative backlash.
Further, as a ranking democrat member in the intelligence committee, you caved in to the deceit by the Bush administration in not protesting the use or potential use of waterboarding. If however, the Republicans pulled one over on you and misled you, how could you have been so naive and abdicate your oversight responsibility? You therefore must now step down from your post as Speaker of the House and allow another Democrat who can robustly represent the Democratic agenda without flinching.
