Mr. President, today I am introducing a resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to require that Congress and the President handle the American people's money more responsibly and balance the Nation's debt and budget. Like the last…

In the intervening years, there has never been a plan forthcoming from the White House, and there obviously isn't, today.

The American people need to know the conditions under which avowed enemies of the United States of America are.

Why shouldn't the American people know the conditions under which people are released?

For many years, I have believed that it would further U.S. national security interests to close the Guantanamo detention facility. I still do.

We need a proposal. And, in its absence over 6 years, Congress has acted.

the recent successes of radical groups like ISIL, al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram, as well as our lack of a strategy to counter them, are a far more powerful source of radicalization and terrorist recruitment today than anything happening at GTMO.

Mr. President, 3 weeks ago, scientists at Boston's Northeastern University made an amazing discovery in a pile of dirt. They found a new antibiotic called teixobactin. This new antibiotic, the first that has been discovered in more than 25…

Mr. President, since I see no other Members on the floor at this time, I ask unanimous consent to speak in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

Mr. President, yesterday we were informed of another barbaric act by ISIS--literally burning a Jordanian pilot to death in a cage. This follows news reports of beheadings of Japanese citizens, Americans, and so many others. It is an…

Mr. Chairman, I thank the ranking member and the chairman for their lack of opposition in support of this amendment. In closing, Mr. Chairman, I would just say, as we care about American citizens across the country, we must stand with…

This confusion must end. Our Armed Forces deserve a comprehensive detention strategy that allows them to fight this metastasizing, global, and brutal enemy without their eyes closed.

Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, private property rights are fundamental to our liberties and freedom as American citizens. These rights are recognized in the Fifth Amendment to our United States…

Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 2, line 1, insert ``private property owners,'' after ``small businesses,''. Page 10…

Mr. President, I find it tragically ironic that on the same day the Islamic State tragically took the life and murdered a Jordanian pilot that the U.S. Senate failed to get a 60-vote majority to move to a motion to proceed to debate the…

I have deep respect for the Senator from Massachusetts, but I want to take issue with the premise of her last question.

I think that's the important thing. If this is a legitimate debate for Ms. Warren and I to have, and the other members of the Senate, it ought to be on the floor of the U.S. Senate in a piece of legislation.

congressional intent ought to be determined on the floor of the U.S. Senate or the U.S. House, not in some office building down the street on Connecticut Avenue.
