The American people are tired of getting a complete lack of representation from their Representatives. Nobody in this country looks at Congress and says: Wow. Heck of a job, guys and gals. Well done. Who would do that? Would we do that? By…
I thank the gentleman from Arizona for yielding to me. I, too, wish our friend from Ohio well in his future endeavors and appreciated serving with him in the Chamber and appreciate the same sacrifices with respect to our family, our…
I unfortunately missed three votes today. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 11, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 12, and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 13. ____________________
I unfortunately missed two votes today. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 9 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 10. personal explanation
This population is growing, the foreign-born population by 4½ million under President Biden.
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 23, nays 307, not voting 103, as follows: [Roll No. 722] YEAS--23 Biggs Bishop (NC) Burchett Burlison Cloud…
I yield myself the balance of my time to close. Madam Speaker, another point that I think merits observation is that, as we speak, with the 18 days remaining, the Senate, rather than working on ensuring that we get a better NDAA--but, more…
The question is: Who gets to decide? That is the question. Who gets to make these grand pronouncements of who is going to compromise? It sure as hell wasn't any of us. That wasn't the deal. What was tried to be done with FISA was to bring…
With respect to the discussion about who is controlling the time, I would rise in true opposition to claim time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Smith) opposed to the conference report?
I would note that even if section 702 lapses at the end of December, the intelligence community will remain able to conduct 702 collection and queries until April 11, 2024. By the way, that is even setting aside Article I authority, which…
I want to clear up one misconception, that somehow there was a block of us who were denying the ability to have a rule on the floor with respect to FISA 702. The fact is, the question was, was there going to be a rule for something called…
I appreciate my friend from Texas yielding, and I appreciate his remarks because we share a committed interest to defending the United States, defending our military, and ensuring that our military is able to do its job. Just in the last…
This is an impeachment inquiry, defined as an act of asking for information--nothing more, nothing less. The inquiry is to further investigate at least three things: One, the extent to which Joe Biden as Vice President was involved with…
I thank my friend from Texas. He is one of my best friends in the House, and one of the best Members we have in this body. His constituents are blessed to have him. Madam Speaker, I am proud to stand here with these gentlemen here on the…
I thank my friend from New York for his touching remarks about his mother. We will be praying for him and his family, knowing that she is in a better place, knowing that we are all here for a brief period of time, and we are celebrating a…
I thank my colleague for spending time here on the floor of the House commemorating the life of former First Lady Carter. We are reminded, as we heard his words and as we have commemorated her life, of the longstanding love affair and…
I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I noticed that the gentlewoman from New Mexico just posited that it is Republicans who want to drive up the prices and costs of everything for the American people. However, Mr. Speaker…
There have been at least 35 cases of the FACE Act being applied to pro-life groups.
I assume your constituents, like mine, totally understand that we don't have both Chambers and the White House. They know that we can't move all the mountains. Nevertheless, they want us not to just shrug and give up and send a bill over…
That woman, your constituent, recognizes the impact from the policies of this current administration and, frankly, I must say, the policies that are perpetuated by this body, including some on both sides of the aisle that have resulted in…
To my friend from Pennsylvania, do you think that it is a fulfillment of your promise and pledge to work here to try to cut spending to pass continuing resolutions that fund government at the preceding year's astronomically high spending…
I thank the good gentleman from Pennsylvania. He is a good friend, and I am honored to serve with him. I agree with him. I will say that our constituents don't send us to Washington to campaign. They don't send us to Washington to run…
I thank my friend from Pennsylvania. When I started this speech, I talked about The Wall Street Journal poll from this month finding that only 36 percent of voters said the American Dream still holds true and that our country, our society…
I appreciate that. I know my colleague is about to leave. I know that he appreciates and we share our faith in the good Lord and our faith in Jesus Christ. He will appreciate the words of Paul in 2 Timothy: I have fought the good fight. I…
