DHS has announced that they are looking for guidance from DOJ.

They have had great difficulty in getting access to the SAVE Act.

There is a bedrock underneath our Constitution, and that is America's confidence in legitimate elections.

We know that ACORN admitted to at least 440,000 false or fraudulent voter registrations.

There are a lot of individuals out there that do not mind breaking the law.

If you have an election that is a legitimate election, where you have a higher assurance that the people going to the polls actually are American citizens and are legitimate voters, then the Republican side of this wins, and the Democrat…

That is ham and beans soup. It is particularly Christian within the context of the gentleman from Virginia's.

If I could just add something, I think it should not come as a surprise to any of us that someone who goes to prison because they didn't feel they had any opportunity or any options, we shouldn't be surprised that when they leave prison…

Is that not also the definition of fraud?

I do believe your testimony has been directed at informing us with the best answers you can deliver in a truthful fashion.

I think it is important for us to ask these kind of questions because each time we go to work during the day there has got to be a purpose, and that purpose is that Congress writes laws, and then we direct the executive branch to carry out…

If Congress is going to direct--Congress writes the laws, the President has been clear on that.

I believe that is the section you are referring to when you assert your responsibility under the Constitution.

Thank you, Mr. King. My time has expired and I yield it back.

I don't know what effect this amendment would have if this amendment doesn't trump that kind of a State legislation decision to intervene.
