The successful election and record voter participation were emblematic of the Philippines' vibrant democracy.

The enduring values that underpin our thriving alliance with the Philippines

All people should be treated fairly and with respect.

Funding to fight the Zika virus should be treated as an emergency.

We're making more workers eligible for the overtime that you've earned.

The effort to protect the American people from the Zika virus should not be funded incrementally.

And it's one of the single most important steps we can take to help grow middle-class wages.

The Zika virus poses a serious public health threat.

The national emergency with respect to Burma that was declared on May 20, 1997, is to continue in effect beyond May 20, 2016.

The funding provided in H.R. 5243 is woefully inadequate to support the response our public health experts say is needed.

The United States remains committed to working with both the new government and the people of Burma to ensure that the democratic transition is irreversible.

I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to Burma declared in Executive Order 13047.

To help ourselves we’ve got to help others -- not pull up the drawbridge and try to keep the world out.

The world is more interconnected than ever before, and it’s becoming more connected every day. Building walls won’t change that.

I believe that the arc of our nation, the arc of the world does not bend towards justice, or freedom, or equality, or prosperity on its own. It depends on us, on the choices we make.

America’s progress has never been smooth or steady. Progress doesn’t travel in a straight line. It zigs and zags in fits and starts.

In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue. It's not cool to not know what you're talking about. That's not keeping it real or telling it like it is. That's just not knowing what you're talking about.

Perfect valor is doing without witnesses what you would do if the whole world were watching.

The public safety officers we recognize today with the Medal of Valor found courage not in search of recognition, they did it instinctively.

You love your neighbor as yourself, and you put others' safety before your own.

Operating this facility weakens our national security by draining resources, damaging our relationships with key allies and partners, and emboldening violent extremists.

H.R. 4909 fails to provide our troops with the resources they need to keep our Nation safe.

The bill would also leave in place onerous restrictions on the transfer of detainees to foreign countries.

You've got a tough job.

The bill would buy excess force structure without the money to sustain it.
