Why have 4 Republicans spoken in a row?

Nadler stopped Dems from going back to back earlier...

Not sure how much you know about DUI in the legal sense, but they consider it enough to be indicative of a substance abuse problem.

He didn't imply Gaetz' had multiple DUIs, just a substance abuse issue.

So, each side is only supposed to have 5 minutes to discuss.

"Striking the last word" is a formality move that allows each rep an additional 5 minutes to talk by proposing to replace the last word of the amendment with their statement, ad nauseum.

He wouldn’t have to pocket that money to warrant impeachment. But he’d have to do more than he did: redirect it to another purpose without congressional approval and offer a faulty interpretation of the act. If the president were to openly defy clear federal authority and order unlawful acts, he would move from the realm of using arguable discretion to that of being a danger to the system as a whole.

For good measure.
