Political Quotes

On the recordJune 14, 2023
Madam Chairman, I thank the ranking member for his reply, and I appreciate his concern. I would simply say this: all of us regardless of our political affiliation should be invested in reining in the power of the executive and holding the President accountable to the people. That is not happening in the status quo, which is why my amendment and the underlying bill is so important. Guidance documents were never intended to allow bureaucrats to make sweeping decisions without any oversight, but that is what they have become. Economically, significant guidance documents, like President Biden's student loan bailout, will have major effects on our country and must be subjected to proper oversight. That is what my amendment aims to achieve: a commonsense, good governance reform that keeps the American people in control of their government. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
