I have no further requests for time, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, while the chairman was a toddler when this was enacted, I still was not born. I want to make that point. That is how old this thing is. And it is time. It is great to exercise our constitutional responsibilities and repeal these outdated AUMFs so that they can never be manipulated or exploited by a future President. Again, I view this as a historic moment that Congress and this committee are exercising its powers as the Founding Fathers had wanted us to. Mr. Speaker, I thank the author of this, Mr. Meijer, I thank the chairman for his leadership, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I am not going to talk to my colleagues because they are not going to answer the question of why two convicted people, not just indicted, were pardoned by the United States President. Mr. Speaker, I will address my fellow Americans…
