I would say to the gentleman that my response is that I could go through a similar list, and the gentleman has done that perfectly well. What I was struck by in my time in Israel, and that was particularly in the summer of 2019 as I…

My friend from Maryland makes an excellent closing case in court, because he knows that this is going to be in court, because he knows that this is constitutionally infirm. He is trying to make the case that is going to have to be made in…
I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding. Madam Speaker, I would note, for all of our friends and fellow citizens who are watching at home on C-SPAN, that you are seeing something go across your screen that says, ``Prohibiting…
I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding. Madam Speaker, 185 years ago today in San Jacinto, Texas, the great State of Texas won its independence from Mexico. General Sam Houston launched a surprise attack against Santa Anna, routed…
The formula that was being followed was an outdated formula that was 40 years old.
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 355, nays 69, not voting 5, as…
