The Constitution is clear: It is Congress' duty to write our Nation's laws. Yet, President Obama admitted that, 'I just took an action to change the law.'

So do you have a commitment to at least use a standard design whenever possible?

one of my major concerns is the rate at which new construction is occurring has clearly slowed over the last few years.

The memo admits that the executive cannot, under the guise of exercising enforcement discretion, attempt to effectively rewrite the laws to match its policy preferences.

However, telling entire classes of millions of unlawful aliens that they face no possibility of being removed is not prosecutorial discretion.

the central phrase of America's Declaration of Independence is itself a statement of religious conviction.

Any new problem in Iraq very clearly is a new Iraq, and that is where I have some real challenges with the President's belief that he has any authority under the 2002.

All three branches must work hard to craft and implement law that promotes our innovative economy.

I was proud to be part of that effort, and I am proud today that we will continue our work to uphold the competitiveness of the American patent system.

Reforming the patent system, including costly patent litigation, is an economic issue, not a partisan one.

I don't want to topple a Syria that Iran has power in to get at ISIL but I don't want to defeat Sunni extremists only to empower a Shi'a aspiration paid for out of a dictatorial Iran that since 1975--1979 has consistently managed to ruin…

I strongly believe that the PTO should not simply be in the business of granting patents and leaving the mess created for the courts and Congress to fix.

this is not new. They are the same faces.

all the way back in the early 1980s, the late President Ronald Reagan referred to an evil empire, at that time the Soviet Union.

It is now up to the Congress to take the critically important step of enacting H.R. 526 to contain this massive fraud that now permeates mesothelioma litigation.

We have gone 35 years with a government that funds and exports terrorism, who has used its vast oil wealth not even to create in their country, even to create the ability to refine their own oil into gasoline.

I might note that Congress will be going sine die soon.

Americans deserve an efficient, effective Government that works for them.

Our solemn responsibility is to hold Government accountable to taxpayers.

I've said all along that the problem in this administration is that they didn't live up to their promise of being the most transparent administration in history.

Americans have a right to know that the money Washington takes from them is well spent.

Thank God FITARA is being signed by the President as we speak practically. It's going to take care of that.

So the reason I couldn't get a single Democratic cosponsor, including my good friend Howard Berman when he was here, was that the interest groups that were just named by my colleague from California all said they will never sign up for…

He recognized there are costs to doing nothing, and he looked for opportunities that are permitted in current law to avoid some of the costs.

The President's executive power does not give him the power to govern by decree.
