John Hostettler: “No. But we have today shot John once again in the past. I am not running in lockstep, as you all know, with this side…”

On the recordFebruary 3, 1995
No. But we have today shot John once again in the past. I am not running in lockstep, as you all know, with this side, but what we must do is we must give the President the power, since this body has proven time and time again that it cannot do that. We must give the President the power that was supposedly given to him, according to the campaign rhetoric that was there, and if that is the case, then we will bring fiscal responsibility to this Federal Government, and we will not continue down the same path. That is why we need to give this two-thirds power, not because we are giving overwhelming power to the President, but because we are in a crisis, a fiscal crisis.
