Mike Bost: “It is a republic, Madam, if you can keep it.”

Someday, I would like to carry on this floor from our committee a bill that is actually sponsored by a Republican that my colleague can actually find totally good. We come out here every time, and he finds all the excuses of why this is…

At this time, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Van Orden), who is the chief sponsor of the bill.

May I inquire of the Chair as to how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Miller-Meeks). The gentleman from Illinois has 4\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I'm feeling good as long as my members stay with us on the rule.
