“Mr. President, to respond to the Senator from Texas, I hope that will not happen. I have put forth a way forward for this body.

But I do believe it is important for each of us to take a stand against the President's overreach here. This is important. This matters. It is our job to protect the Constitution and to uphold our role, and that is what I am trying to do here--accomplish those three goals--and that is what the Senator from Texas is discussing.”
