Congressional Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde announced that he feels the scope of the impeachment inquiry of the president should be limited.

Hyde feels that the inquiry can be narrowed down to three charges: lying under oath, obstruction of justice and witness tampering, instead of the 11 the GOP is suggesting. Most importantly, he wants to have the inquiry end soon after the Nov. 3 election.

This is surprising to some because of Hyde’s vote for a broad, open-ended inquiry just last week.

“My sense is there is a burning-out factor on this, and people would like to get it over with, but that doesn’t mean they are not taking it seriously,” Hyde said, according to Gannett News Service.

It is about time for members of Congress, mainly Republicans, to be motivated to put this debauchery behind us. We need to focus on the crumbling world economy and other issues that are currently facing this country and the world.

There could not be a better person to lead Republicans toward this approach.

Hyde is a family man and a true patriot. He believes strongly in the values and principles this country is based on.

He has always served his country proudly. In 1942, he enlisted in the United States Navy and served in World War II in the South Pacific, New Guinea and the Philippines. He retired at the rank of Commander in 1968.

After retirement from the Navy, he practiced law privately. In 1967, he was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives. He then moved on to the United States House, where he has served on many committees such as: Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on the Constitution, Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law and the Committee on International Relations. He also served as the Majority Leader of the 77th General Assembly.

His bipartisan approach towards the inquiry has shown that you can be open-minded and impartial with such a political topic, a lead many members in Congress need to take notice of and follow.

Hyde proves that politicians can be good role models and still be effective in their jobs.

Putting this issue behind us is very important to the American people, and Hyde is representing his constituents well. By doing this, the founding fathers would be proud of him and the America they created.
