On the recordJune 3, 2011
I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding me a minute this morning. Today I think we owe the American people an apology because we all as a House are here to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States and it has been way too long before this debate has been had on this floor. There is much more at risk today than Libya. What is at risk today is the very Constitution that we have sworn to protect and to uphold. If the Constitution is at risk, then this House is at risk. When this House is blatantly ignored by another branch, by the President of the United States, then the people are blatantly ignored by the President of the United States and this House will fall. I applaud those that have sponsored this resolution, and I rise in support of it today.
