Marcy Kaptur: “This amendment the gentlewoman has offered raises serious…”

On the recordOctober 26, 2023

This amendment the gentlewoman has offered raises serious constitutional issues and may amount to an unconstitutional bill of attainder. This is not the way to handle policy disputes, with Michael Conner, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for civil works. This amendment prioritizes, I am sad to say, legislative theater over the American people, and it has no chance of becoming law. Madam Chair, I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this harmful amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
