Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Texas. This resolution is insincere and unserious. If my colleagues on the other side really want to limit the President's ability to defend the United States, then they ought to take the vote and…

Yet, he was traveling to Syria and then through Iraq as a combatant and as a terrorist on the terrorist list. What is the point of putting terrorists on the list if you are not going to do anything about the terrorist on the list?

So when our good colleagues on the other side of the aisle say that this was illegal and unconstitutional, meanwhile knowing that the Authorization of Use of Military Force, whether we agree with it or not it is in statute right now, in a…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Thompson) for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I, too, rise to honor the life and the accomplishments of Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick. He was a great and trusted colleague. More importantly…

What I have heard on this House floor today is the President is capricious, irresponsible, doesn't have a plan, doesn't have a strategy. If the gentleman will please tell the audience, under the Obama administration and under Secretary…

I just happened to notice on CNN about the time of the attack that they had the spokesperson for the Iranian Government during the hostage crisis speaking on CNN. NPR did something very similar. It is not just Iranian Americans who are…

So to make the correction absolutely clear, the United States did not kill the leader of Libya, but we helped facilitate it, in some respects.

Because if you were present, did somebody in this House say that this President is reckless, that he is destabilizing the region, that we are assassinating or aiding and abetting the assassination of leaders of foreign countries? Was any…

Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, this resolution is insincere and unserious. It is insincere because this is just: We don't like the President and he took action, and we can't stand it. It is unserious…

Mr. Speaker, I was sitting in my office watching this debate, and I began to wonder who it is that we are actually debating against or what it is that we are debating against. I think back to the killing of Osama bin Laden when we stood…

Mr. Speaker, I as well rise today to pay tribute to our friend, the Honorable Michael G. Fitzpatrick, a longtime Republican who served as a Bucks County, Pennsylvania, commissioner and served as a Member of the United States House of…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and honor my friend and former colleague, Michael Fitzpatrick. Former Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick passed away on January 6 after a 12-year battle with cancer. He served as chairman of the House…

Madam Speaker, I oppose this dangerous resolution. Iran has been at war with us for 40 years. They held Americans hostage in Tehran. They murdered our marines in Beirut. They killed hundreds, if not thousands, of American servicemembers in…

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the resolution before us today. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution states: ``Congress shall have the power to declare war.'' The Founders were unequivocal. Only Congress has the power to authorize…

Mr. Speaker, I, too, as all of my colleagues, not just Pennsylvanians, but all the others, stand up to speak about a young man, because he was a young man, Congressman Michael Fitzpatrick. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember him not as…

Mr. Chair, I am proud to be a cosponsor of H.R. 535--The PFAS Action Act. This bill is a big step towards cleaner water for all Americans. It designates PFOA and PFOS as hazardous; these are two of the most prevalent substances that make…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and the legacy of former Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick. Mike was a dedicated public servant who proudly represented the people of Pennsylvania's Eighth Congressional District…

Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman for yielding and for the opportunity to support this amendment to this deeply-flawed bill. Madam Chair, I rise this evening in support of the Balderson amendment. H.R. 535 will have broad and significant…
