“I find this whole thing kind of baffling, quite frankly. If the Members on the other side wanted to have a press conference bashing the President, why did they not go back to a gas station or why did they not go up to the press gallery? Why are they taking the time of the House to do this, rather than voting on legislation that means something? This is an interesting waste of our time this afternoon. The Committee on Rules has been upstairs trying to fashion a rule for the budget. Why do we not spend our time dealing with the budget of the United States? Why do we not spend our time with actual legislation, rather than coming down here and giving speeches and not legislating? That is all this is. That is all we are doing today. We are not passing anything or considering anything that makes any difference at all, that has any force of law. It just makes my friends on the other side feel good so they can come down to the floor of the House and attack the President of the United States.”
