I think you can see there is strong support. When you can get bipartisan Members of Congress to stay through an entire hearing and ask interested and engaged questions, you know that you are on a topic that has really strong bipartisan…

One day the other shoe is going to drop, and we are all going to have this issue right in our face in a much more serious way.

I ask for the bill to be supported, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have no speakers and I am prepared to close after the gentleman closes. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Illinois has the right to close. The gentlewoman from Michigan is recognized.

This bill today was just something to remind everybody that we should be debating things like war and peace, and we should be following the Constitution and authorizing war if that's what we're going to end up doing.

What he just said right now is factually incorrect. The president always has the right to act in self-defense. The president always has the right to act when he sees fit as long as he notifies us afterwards within 48 hours.

It's offensive. I don't know what else to say about it.

We should be having a robust conversation. We should be talking about authorization of military force.

I need authorization from Congress. And that's just the Constitution. That's not something new that we made up.

I made this decision out of principle and out of the duty to protect and defend the constitution. I feel that in my bones, and I will stick to that regardless of what it does to me politically because this is bigger than politics.

The thing that was different for me is this very, very basic idea that the President of the United States would reach out to a foreign power and ask for an investigation for personal political gain.

He asked a foreigner to help investigate a political rival. He used the power of his office. And not for the national security interests, which is totally normal... but this is for personal gain. It was for him. And that's what a king…

The American handshake has to mean something and that when we shook hands with the Kurds we gave them the commitment

I have no more speakers, and I am prepared to close after the gentleman from Louisiana closes. I reserve the balance of my time.

I actually think personally there is a group of us who think it goes deeper than that, that we just don't have a doctrine of innovation at the Department.

H.R. 3616, the Clean Water Standards for PFAS Act of 2019, introduced by Reps. Chris Pappas, Elissa Slotkin, Brendan Boyle, and Madeleine Dean, is an important first step in turning off the tap for toxic PFAS and limiting PFAS releases…

I certainly wouldn't have bet on it when I was on New York on September 11, 2001.

I am offended for the public, because, again, right up against an anniversary, to not be able to hear from the leadership of the Cabinet on where we are on counter-terrorism threats is just nuts.

It's important to note that this problem is more than just a daily annoyance--these calls are scamming consumers out of their money and stealing personal information.

In an era when sometimes people feel like government can't get anything done, I think this would be a huge positive step that we are actually still working up here.

Americans lost an estimated $10.5 billion dollars this year due to robocall scams.

Last year alone, an estimated 1.2 billion robocalls were made to people who live in Michigan.

In fact, shortly after I was elected, I had a meeting with a local, Republican mayor in our district, and asked him what was one thing I should be sure to work on in Congress. He said, 'robocalls.'
