“This is another example of bureaucratic overreach. Congress is pretty clear in its lawmaking, and as we are finding out, as the Supreme Court takes up these issues, we are trying to restore legislative authority to this House. In regard to this amendment, again, as I said, it shows the clear difference between the vision of the House Republicans and the Biden administration and the House Democrats. I think what the American public needs is the opportunity to choose what they need for their homes, and I believe if we continue down this path with Republican initiatives on energy, we are going to bring down energy costs, but we will also respect the right of American citizens to buy whatever they think they need. Mr. Chairman, I urge a ``yea'' vote on my amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Palmer). The amendment was agreed to. The Acting CHAIR. The Chair understands that amendment No. 55 will not be offered. Amendment No. 56 Offered by Mr. Pfluger The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 56 printed in part B of House Report 118-242.”
