NAN A. S. HAYWORTH: “I had occasion to visit Arizona's pleasant valley, the small town of Young, Arizona for their annual Pleasant Valley…”

“I had occasion to visit Arizona's pleasant valley, the small town of Young, Arizona for their annual Pleasant Valley Days parade, and then Saturday evening in a neighborhood townhall meeting in Mesa. Many citizens of the 6th district raised these precise concerns. And regardless of philosophical orientation, what the gentleman from Georgia points out tonight is absolutely correct, because in this Chamber and indeed, Mr. Speaker, throughout this government, there needs to be a reverence for and an adherence to the Constitution of the United States, which properly notes that the powers this government derives is conferred upon it by the people, and accordingly states that it is the legislative branch which has lawmaking authority, and the executive branch the responsibility to execute the law. So this transcends political philosophy, for it is a question of constitutionality, and those who would seek to usurp in the executive branch the powers rightly conferred by the people on the legislative branch of government are treading on dangerous ground.”
