On the recordSeptember 17, 2014
Madam Speaker, today, September 17, 2014, marks 82,910 days since the Constitution was signed in 1787. Though I have only been a United States Congressman for 469 of those days, on every one of them, I work to uphold the oath of office I swore: to defend our Nation's most important governing document, the Constitution. On this Constitution Day, I would like to take some time to remind us all that all parts of the founding document are important. Especially in this time of executive overreach, we should remember that our Constitution created three equal and distinct branches of government. ____________________
