I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is heard. Pursuant to rule XXII, the Chair, again, directs the clerk to call the roll to ascertain the presence of a quorum. The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll, and the following…

the resurgence of American conservatism over the last three-quarters of a century had many fathers: James Burnham, Willmore Kendall, Frank Meyer, Richard Weaver, Milton Friedman, Russell Kirk, and, of course, William F. Buckley. They laid…

the Democrats' talking points against the SAVE Act are being proven wrong day after day after day. We heard them say repeatedly: Noncitizens, including illegal aliens, don't vote because they can't vote. That is to say, they don't vote…

as if in legislative session, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 439, H.R. 8281, the SAVE Act; further, that the bill be considered read a third time and passed, and that the…

I recognize the presence of my friend and colleague the senior Senator from Tennessee.

reserving the right to object, U.S. diplomats serve a singular purpose: to advocate for and protect U.S. interests all over the world. The Constitution makes abundantly clear that the security of the American homeland and commerce with…

I appreciate the thoughtful remarks from my friend and colleague, the distinguished Senator from Illinois. He and I have worked together on many issues. We don't agree on everything, but when we do agree, it is a lot of fun. We are able to…

one citizen, one vote--today, this foundational principle is under attack. It is under attack because President Biden refuses to enforce the law. Now we face a direct threat to our entire electoral system. Consider this: Since President…

I appreciate how the Presiding Officer always speaks loud enough so that everyone can hear. The Presiding Officer also manages the floor with great assertiveness, which I also appreciate. I am grateful to my friend and colleague, the…

I first want to echo the kind words by the majority leader for the pages. As a former Senate page myself, I know that this is a job that few people notice on the outside, but we notice it here. They make sure things run well here, and I am…

we have got to keep our eye on the ball, our eye on the fact that the legislation, while pending in the House, is itself mired. Now, I want to be clear in response to something, a comment made by the senior Senator from Missouri. This is…
