The Congress was put first in the Constitution. It is Article I. It is of the people. It is supposed to be more powerful than the President.

if Congress has decided that it is better not to legislate on that problem, then it is not appropriate for the President to sort of take over through emergency powers.
But it is also true that Congress is just giving away power to the President, whether it is war powers as we were talking about, budget and impoundment control, AUMFs in specific cases, just giving it away.

I am sorry that Ms. Lee left since she has such a concern for human trafficking.
I would like to see more people thank them when they search their bags, as opposed to be angry...
I was going to invite her to join me on a bill that I have introduced with Representative David Joyce called the IMPACT ACT Human Trafficking Act.
I would just ask you if you will be able to leverage some of that for training and for helping your own employees who have to deal with the trauma of these cases themselves.
Thank you, Mr. Prosecutor General, for your very compelling testimony and the people of Ukraine's resistance, resilience, heroism.
cutting money for law enforcement, it seems to be part of their so-called budget plan
Cutting money for law enforcement, it seems to be part of their so-called budget plan. So if you want better border, you have got to support their efforts.
