John McCain
The Public Record
John McCain was a prominent American politician and military officer who served as a United States Senator from Arizona from 1987 until his death in 2018. A member of the Republican Party, McCain was known for his bipartisan approach and commitment to national security. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War, where he was a prisoner of war for over five years, an experience that shaped his political career and views on military and foreign policy.
A vote of disapproval in the absence of a credible alternative, would, after ten years of effort, be self-defeating for our country.
I believe that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Agreement is deeply flawed because it concedes an enrichment capability that's too large to Iran.
What is critical to all of us, Mr. Secretary, that we have verification of the--and inspections of Iranian activities because they have a clear record of cheating.
So we are then dependent on the confidence of the IAEA, not the actual viewing of the agreement and verification.
This is a good deal because it removes a continued source of threat and uncertainty in a comprehensive and verifiable way by preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
The United States will maintain its ironclad commitment to Israel's qualitative military edge.
As our Nation confronts the most diverse and complex array of global crises since the end of World War II...
I can assure you, as the author of the bill, that that is not what was envisioned by Senator Inouye and me.
I believe that it is wrong and I believe that it is contrary to the intent of the law that we passed.
I had the honor of working with the late Senator Dan Inouye and offering the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1986.
The intent of Congress was not for parachuting into metropolitan areas without the agreement of the local authorities and citizens.
We also know that today, the $28 billion industry, we have come a long way since we passed that law in 1986.
Roughly 25 percent of all Indian gaming operations remain at high audit risk.
Earlier this week, Senator McCain and I sent a letter to the Secretary of Interior, Secretary Jewel, urging her to appropriately and expeditiously appoint those remaining Commission members.
I would say that John McCain has been an advocate for veterans throughout his service in Congress and through out his service in the senate.
Senator McCain says Mr. Trump owes service members of vets an apology, particularly those who've been POWs.
Surge was, and I quote, "vitally needed," end of quote, in Afghanistan and that delays would put American lives at risk.
Yes. But we've just established the fact that ISIS is rushing into trying--attempting to harm America and kill Americans, aren't we?
So we're now in an interesting situation where your obligation is to defend the country and at the same time you're unable to do so because these telecommunications--these organizations are saying that you can't...
So we are discussing a situation in which the U.S. Government, i.e. law enforcement and the intelligence community, lack the capability to do that which they have the authority to do; is that correct?
