Thomas McClintock actually said...

"The Antiquities Act of 1906 delegated limited authority to the President to designate national monuments."

"the essence of the legislative process, which is, once again, why the Constitution gives Congress authority over these matters, not the President, so that these voices can be heard."

"It should be done legislatively. Rather than just a stroke of a pen and somebody's arbitrary decision making."

"This bill seeks to right a wrong and to go about monument designation the constitutional way."
