I wish to thank the young people throughout this country who have the courage to do what the U.S. Congress is not doing; that is, to lead us forward in a way to lower the slaughter we are seeing from coast to coast in terms of gun…

I am distressed, although not surprised, by the objection. Apparently, the consumers of this country don't have the financial support to get their concerns onto the floor. So apparently we are not going to be discussing these items. Madam…

I thank the Senator from Illinois very much for his perceptive remarks and for reminding us that the time is long overdue for the U.S. Congress to accept its constitutional responsibilities. I wanted to ask Senator Lee if he--we are…

let me conclude by thanking Senator Lee, Senator Murphy, Senator Durbin this afternoon, thanking Senator Booker, Senator Warren, Senator Leahy, Senator Markey, Senator Feinstein, and Senator Wyden for their cosponsorship of S.J. Res. 54…

I say to Senator Lee that I think that is an excellent question. That was just the question that I was going to ask of Senator Murphy, because I think we understand that in recent history, when there is chaos and confusion in a country, it…

along with Senator Murphy and Senator Lee, I rise to talk about one of the most important jobs the U.S. Congress has, and that is to fulfill its constitutional responsibility about whether the United States of America engages in military…

I ask unanimous consent that Senator Wyden be added as a cosponsor to my resolution, S.J. Res. 54. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I ask unanimous consent that I be permitted to use an oversized visual poster to be displayed during my remarks. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Flake). Without objection, it is so ordered. Yemen War Powers Resolution

Well, let me thank Senator Murphy for his comments and Senator Lee before him. I think they touch on the most important issues. I wish to respond to what Senator Lee and Senator Murphy both said, but I wish to make a point that needs to be…

Before I answer that very important question, I thank Senator Lee for his remarks. He is right on virtually everything he has said. I want to bring Senator Murphy into this colloquy. Senator Murphy has been ahead of his time in focusing…

I get around my own State of Vermont a lot. In fact, I get around the country a lot. I hear from a lot of people and I talk to a lot of people about what is on their minds. Needless to say, in these very complicated and difficult times…

I ask unanimous consent that Ari Rabin- Havt be granted floor privileges for the remainder of this Congress. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

We're not talking about guns, we're not talking about the DACA issue.

We've got to do something. I hope that we will do it.

They want expanded background checks. They want to end the so-called gun show loophole.

What we're seeing all across this country is people saying, we cannot watch TV anymore and see our children shot down by some lunatic with an assault weapon.

It amazes me that this is the issue that the Republican leadership has put on the floor of the Senate.

What this legislation would do is deregulate 25 out of the largest 38 banks in this country.

I am strongly opposed to it.

I think the main target of our concern has got to be China. We have a $375 billion trade deficit with China.

We have seen tens of thousands of factories shut down, millions of hard working people, decent people have lost their jobs as factories go to China and Mexico.

It signs of a president who is, I think, not fit temperamentally to be president of the United States, a guy who -- and I say this without any joy in my heart -- lies all the time, who changes his mind every other day apparently based on…

We haven't dealt with immigration reform and DACA. We've got a gun crisis out there.

There are enormous problems facing our country.
