Recently, I received a heartbreaking email from Connie in Irmo, South Carolina. Because of ObamaCare, Connie's health care policy premiums have increased $100 a month, and her deductible has grown to over $2,500 a year. She explains the…

If the commander refuses the JAG's recommendation, it goes to the Secretary of the service. If the JAG and the commander both say this is not a case we want to prosecute, when it is in the area of sexual assault, it goes to the commander's…

That is a very good question. The commander in the military is just not somebody. The man or woman in charge of that unit is the person to whom we give the ultimate authority to decide life- and-death decisions for that unit. So if we deal…

Madam President, if we wanted to find the definition of leadership in 2014: McCaskill, Ayotte, and the great Senator from Nebraska, three women taking on an issue head on. To those of my Democratic colleagues who are going to stick with…

Why is it nobody seems to think taking the commander out of the loop is going to help the problem? Because you cannot solve the problem in the military unless the commander buys in. I cannot think of any change in the military that is…

Yesterday, the President unveiled his budget and used the military as a punching bag to push his Big Government programs. According to a recent Charleston Post and Courier editorial: Congress should proceed with extreme caution before…

Transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging for our veterans. The skill sets learned while serving in the Armed Forces are highly valued, and competence is extraordinary of veterans, who have a proven work ethic. With…

The American people have lost faith in the President and his administration's ability to serve in an unbiased manner. Sadly, last year's scandal revealed the IRS is targeting organizations who disagree with the President's Big Government…

In addition to the Burr amendment No. 2752, there are many amendments on our side of the aisle waiting in the queue to be offered. Further parliamentary inquiry: If a motion to table the Reid motion to commit is successful, would there be…

Perhaps the Senator from New Hampshire could walk us through some of the reasons we now know the story line of a protest caused by a video doesn't hold water.

My colleagues will be here in a moment. I will start. Thank you for recognizing me. Senator McCain has arrived. The time has come, colleagues, for us as a body to provide some oversight that is missing when it comes to the death of four…

I ask unanimous consent for Senator McCain, Senator Ayotte, and me to engage in a colloquy for approximately 20 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection.

Mr. President, in order to offer amendment No. 2752, the Iran sanctions amendment, I move to table the pending Reid motion to commit and I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be…

In addition to Burr amendment No. 2752, there are many amendments on our side of the aisle waiting to be offered. Parliamentary inquiry: Is it correct that no Senator is permitted to offer an amendment to this bill while the majority…

With that, I understand Senator Burr and others on our side have filed an amendment which would impose additional sanctions against the Government of Iran if it violates the interim agreement with the United States, and I ask unanimous…

I thank my colleagues. Now is the time for us to move forward to set the stage for a vote; is that correct? Well, I will say, No. 1, as to the amendment of Senator Burr, it takes care of veterans similar to what Senator Sanders is…

Madam President, I would like to be recognized for 10 minutes, if I could. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
