I would just close and yield the floor to Senator Menendez. The Senator is right about the resolution. We are not coming up with a new idea; we are just reinforcing an idea put on the table by our own President--we are not going to contain…

Well, here is my view about that. I think the President would be wise to include the Congress. I am a conservative who thinks the War Powers Act is unconstitutional. I find it odd that our party for all of these years has railed against…

I know my tea party congressman Jeff Duncan will be all about cutting spending in the wrong places.

I rise in opposition to the amendment offered by the gentleman from Indiana. I oppose the amendment because it intrudes on the inherent responsibility of commanders to assess the fitness for promotion of servicemembers under their command…

Madam Speaker, for the past 39 months, our Nation's unemployment rate has remained above 8 percent due to the administration's failed policies. Sadly, the average unemployment rate for our veterans is even higher. Congress has developed a…

I think we have failed to communicate that sufficiently to Khamenei.

I can't say it any more eloquently or strongly as Mr. Burton did. And I want to echo his words.

I believe we should not compromise on the fundamental goal demanded by the Security Council six separate times since 2006, that Iran fully suspend its uranium enrichment.
