Political Quotes

On the recordJune 23, 2021
The Congressional Review Act is a legitimate tool to review executive actions, but it should not be used as a political tool to overturn a previous administration's actions simply because, Mr. Speaker, you don't like the previous occupant of the White House. The CRAs in this rule are not based on sound policymaking. They are instead being used as an attempt to score political points by undoing Trump-era policies. Mr. Speaker, I urge my fellow Members to reconsider these measures by simply focusing on the policy and not the policymaker. Mr. Speaker, I have no other conclusion than to urge a ``no'' vote on the previous question, a ``no'' vote on the rule, and a ``no'' vote on the underlying measures. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
