Tim Scott: “Our friends on the left continue to call House resolutions frivolous and meaningless. My good friend Mr. McGovern…”

On the recordJune 3, 2011
Our friends on the left continue to call House resolutions frivolous and meaningless. My good friend Mr. McGovern himself just last term had House Resolution 278, Global Securities Priorities Resolution. The fact of the matter is the House needs to position itself so the American people understand what this House is trying to convey to the President of the United States. The fact of the matter is this President continues to do things that, as a Senator, he said were inconsistent with the Constitution. So we are making sure that this House and the people who voted in this House are represented in the public forum. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from South Carolina. (Mr. DUNCAN of South Carolina asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)
