I think Senator Romney is right that passing future AUMFs will be difficult, but for good reason.

The single most important thing that we have to do is we have to protect the voting system. Protect the sacred right to vote. It's under assault in ways I haven't seen in my entire career.

I appreciate your articulated commitment to finding a way to craft an AUMF that is narrower, more specific, that has a clear process for adding territories or groups and that would include an end date.

I call up amendment No. 2131 to the substitute and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendment by number. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Delaware…

If you want that kind of power on the books and you do not want to vote again... that is giving up a huge amount of power.

Would the Senator yield the floor? While the Senator is still on the floor, we are talking about the serious side of Carl, and there is also a lighter side of Carl, as you know, and I just want to recall one of those today. I was elected…

I am going to ask unanimous consent, if I could just insert one quick comment, Mr. President? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

This American tragedy. People are dying and will die who don`t have to die.

It`s time to impose requirements on key groups. Every federal government employee will be asked to attest to their vaccination status. Anyone who does not attest or is not vaccinated will be required to mask no matter where they work.

there is only one way out of this pandemic, and that is to increase the vaccination rate.

I also commend the National Football League, has announce that if there are outbreaks among unvaccinated players and personnel, then the team risk forfeiting games or other sport leagues at every level to take every step they can.

Right now, too many people are dying or watching someone they love dying and saying if I had just got vaccinated. This is an American tragedy. People are dying and will die who don`t have to die.

Nearly all of the cases, hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID-19 today are from unvaccinated people. Last month, a study showed that over 99 percent of COVID-19 deaths have been among the unvaccinated, 99 percent. This is an American…

there's going to be a combination of many, many things.

You know want to know how we put this virus behind us. I`ll tell you how we need to get more people vaccinated. The pictures of hospitals in several states overloaded with patients is unnecessary, avoidable and tragic.

we need a message on hope, not on anxiety.

In all probability, by the way, we had a good day yesterday, almost a million people got vaccinated. So, I'm hopeful that people are beginning to realize how essential it is.

the Biden administration announced it is sending 10 million vaccine doses to Africa which is also in the midst of a surge in coronavirus cases due to the delta variant.
