Madam Speaker, I just find it unbelievable that we have called up a bill today to require the President to have congressional approval to stop fracking when we don't ask the President to not impound funds that have been appropriated through Article I by Congress, which is how they are supposed to be appropriated, and when we don't ask the President to not fire the IGs when legislation requires him to give 30 days' notice to Congress before he does so and to give good reason for it when the IGs are there to find fraud, abuse, and waste of government moneys. That is more important and adds up to more and more dollars that the IGs find, and there are other areas where our authority has been stepped on and violated. This is just insane that we are doing this today. Madam Speaker, I saw where one of Mr. Musk's followers resigned because he made statements that he was racist before racism was cool and that he would never marry anybody that didn't look like him and of his own race. It sounds like somebody who was inspired by pre-apartheid South Africa.
