Louie Gohmert

I have never, ever said the President was not a natural-born citizen.

I want to thank my friends, as led by our friend, Congressman Ted Yoho from Florida, and our friend from Georgia, Brother Hice. We heard great comments from Dr. Gosar and our friend, Steve King, from Iowa. These are deeply troubling times…

That word, illegitimate, delegitimize, it is an effort to brand legitimate efforts to fix things that are wrong.

On Monday, being argued before the United States Supreme Court--the eight Justices remaining--is a case of United States v. Texas. It will take up the President's--I started to say his ``executive order,'' but, actually, in the case of His…

The gentleman is exactly right. It seems like the big push is to resolve the issue of what is owed to the bondholders who invested money; and, apparently, they are the ones running commercials in some people's districts about, oh, don't do…

I would like to follow up on the comments of my dear friends' Special Order earlier by Congressman Ron DeSantis. I know there were a number of people who spoke, but the ones I actually saw and heard--Congressman DeSantis, a dear friend…

Puerto Rico ought to be the model for how free markets could work.

I appreciate your testimony today.

Kari's Law, introduced by Representative Gohmert, has bipartisan support and would be an important step in addressing this problem.

I thank my friend from California (Mr. LaMalfa). I did not realize I should have been joining in that tribute with the gentleman. Her being born in Wharton, Texas, and going to college in Texas, we share her as a real gem that the Lord…

I want to thank my friends, Congressman Blum and the future Senator DeSantis, for great words and great insights. Mr. Speaker, I first want to answer a couple of questions that people have had about a couple of votes that my friends…

I am so grateful to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Rothfus), my friend. I mean, just within days of Mr. Rothfus arriving here at the Capitol as a United States Congressman, we were together, abiding together, standing together, and…

To hear my friend Mr. Rothfus talk about the Little Sisters of the Poor--I have not met them personally as he has. I don't know them personally as he does, but it is rather clear they bear a great deal of resemblance in the way they carry…

It is always an honor to be able to speak on this hallowed floor. A report was made earlier today entitled, ``House Poised to Declare ISIS Committing Genocide Against Christians, Other Minorities.'' And, in fact, this report says: ``The…

You can only keep it if the top leaders are kept in check with checks and balances.

And when you say that the President was told that the law was not going to be passed by Speaker Boehner, then he decided to see how far he could go basically.

I thank Mr. Rothfus, my friend from Pennsylvania. He is exactly right. We have so many people across this Nation who understand the tragedy of taking a child's life before it is fully born. Mr. Speaker, I know there are some people, like…

I thank the gentleman from Texas. He and I were at Texas A&M together in the Corps of Cadets, and I know he didn't have to look down to read what John 15:13 was because that used to be a Campusology question that freshmen had to memorize…

One other thing that has been really intriguing, Mr. Speaker, this verse has been quoted time and time again in recent years. I know there are people that freak out when I quote Bible verse because they had one of these liberal teachers…

What kind of guidance do you give the Secretary of the Treasury on helping a gorgeous place like Puerto Rico, who continues to dig the hole while you are wanting to give advice on filling the hole?

I pulled up--this says it is copyright 2016--but a list of cities in Puerto Rico by population and by percent of government employees.

It seems like what we have seen in Puerto Rico, they have dug themselves a hole and... they are needing help getting out of the hole.

That is really scary for people that are concerned about the over-reach of the government.

His liberal use of those implements, and his willingness to play fast and loose with executive authority necessitates a close inspection of his policies made outside of the legislative process.

This President has not been shy with his use of, as he says, his telephone and his pen.
