The Attorney General has advised me, and I agree, that two Houses of Congress cannot bind the Executive branch by passing a concurrent resolution that is not presented to me for approval or veto.
Ronald Reagan
The Public Record
Ronald Wilson Reagan was an American politician and actor who served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989. A member of the Republican Party, he previously held the office of governor of California from 1967 to 1975. Reagan's presidency is noted for significant tax cuts, a strong anti-communist foreign policy, and the deregulation of various industries. His administration also faced challenges such as the Iran-Contra affair and economic issues, including inflation and unemployment.
Today, with great pleasure, I am signing into law H.R. 5121, the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act.
Although the bill would make several desirable changes to the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act, the objectionable provisions far outweigh any of its benefits.
It is with great regret that I accept your resignation as U.S. Representative to the Mutual and Balanced Forces Reduction Talks.
It is with great regret that I accept your resignation as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
I believe that we can have a strong and sound Federal royalty management program.
Then Congress would be, I think, endangering the security of this country.
