Mitt Romney

reserving the right to object. Mr. Chairman, I came to the floor earlier this week to implore my colleagues to debate the administration's proposal to withdraw troops from Germany and to vote on my amendment aimed at evaluating such a…

I just feel it's taken us a long, long, long time to get to a point where we have rapid testing, which we don't have yet; ample testing, which we don't have.

I ask unanimous consent that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table and the President be immediately notified of the Senate's action. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered…

I rise to address the administration's plan to withdraw some 10,000 troops from Germany, and I rise to advance a bipartisan amendment to slow that process down and potentially even to stop it. The administration explains that Germany needs…

I continue reading the letter from the Birmingham jail by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: I had hoped the white moderate would see this need. Perhaps I was too optimistic; perhaps I expected too much. I suppose I should have realized that few…

countless Utahns have stepped up to serve our State and country during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their actions are inspiring, and they help save lives. I rise today to recognize some of these great efforts. I prefer to name individuals and…

I find our testing record nothing to celebrate whatsoever.

I rise to mark the 150th anniversary of the first ballot cast by a woman in the United States under an equal suffrage law. I am proud that this remarkable milestone occurred in my home State of Utah. The fight for the right to vote for all…

I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The resolution…

I now ask unanimous consent that the Judiciary Committee be discharged from further consideration of S. Res. 475 and the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title…

the Constitution is at the foundation of our Republic's success, and we each strive not to lose sight of our promise to defend it. The Constitution established a vehicle of impeachment that has occupied both Houses of our Congress these…

I have a question to send to the desk. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. The question from Senator Romney is for both parties, and I believe the House manager will go first: Do you have any evidence that anyone was directed by President Trump…

Mr. Chief Justice, I submit a question to the desk. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. The question from Senator Romney is for the counsel for the President: On what specific date did President Trump first order the hold on security assistance…

very likely to vote to call witnesses.

I rise today to honor the extraordinary service of one of Utah's most dedicated county commissioners, Mr. Newell Harward. He has served Wayne County for the past 7 years, but he has taken on responsibility well beyond that, advocating for…

I wish to congratulate MG Jeff Burton, a man of remarkable achievement and character, on a career dedicated to public service. After 7 years of serving as the adjutant general of the Utah National Guard, Major General Burton leaves behind…

I rise today to talk about two problems that are related. These two problems have been spoken about for I think virtually decades here in this Chamber and across the political spectrum. One relates to preserving our extraordinary…

I'm afraid that when it comes to foreign policy, he is very, very not smart.

What we have done to the Kurds, we'll stand as a blood stain in the annals of American history. Was there more chance for diplomacy? Are we so weak and so inept diplomatically that Turkey forced the hand of the United States of America…

I rise today to address the current situation in Syria. First, I welcome the Vice President's announcement of a cease-fire, which will prevent further loss of life. I hope the agreement is honored. But at the heart of this matter is a…

When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China's investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest it is anything other politically motivated.

By all appearances the President's brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling.

If the president asked or pressured Ukraine's president to investigate his political rival either directly or through his personal attorney, it would be troubling in the extreme. Critical for the facts to come out.

I rise today regarding the Emery County Public Land Management Act, that was included in S. 47, the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act. This became Public Law 116-9 on March 12th, 2019. Throughout 2018 and…

I rise today to speak on behalf of the nomination of Mr. John Rakolta to become the Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates. Mr. Rakolta is the owner of a construction company that builds major projects like factories, churches, hospitals…
