My amendment simply permits States to require a valid photo identification before receiving a ballot; nothing more, nothing less. This is not a mandate. It grants permission to the States in the true sense of Federalism. Madam Speaker, it…
This outstanding group of performers from the University of Mississippi has earned an honor reserved for a select few. They have earned the right to be called the best in the world, and they have made all Americans proud. I salute them…
Mr. Speaker, there is a provision in this bill not to stop a rule on flammability, but to let scientists decide what the exact effect is, not only on consumers, but also on the people who work around these flame retardants. There can be…
