Reclaiming my time, that was my assumption as well, that there are other issues. But in terms of the gentleman's observation regarding the rules, just as typically it has been our observation that if the majority wanted something on the floor, they simply waived the rules, and they have done so on a very frequent basis.

The decision by President Trump to exempt Russia from energy sanctions is a betrayal of the bipartisan will of Congress - and of the American people - and a betrayal of his own action to impose tough sanctions on Russia just a month ago.
Vladimir Putin must be ecstatic. The President has made America an ally of Russia in its battle against democracy. How shameful.
If law enforcement has probable cause to conduct a search or pursue charges against a sitting Member of Congress, officials ought to do so with the highest level of transparency and the utmost professionalism.
Because of the President’s decision, heroic Ukrainian men and women fighting for sovereignty, freedom, democracy will die. Innocent civilians will die. President Trump’s action will only prolong this war and reward the criminal invader.
