So, regardless of the sitting President's political party, Congress needs to conduct oversight of emergency powers used by the executive branch.

I think legislative vetoes are unconstitutional, in my view.

We are here to discuss safeguarding our democracy, strengthening our democratic institutions and Congress' responsibility to maintain their Article One power as a co-equal branch of government.

A core tenant of the Constitution is a system of checks and balances, which ensures that no one branch of Government has too much control or power.

Congress puts sunsets on Presidential authorities all the time. That is not constitutionally questionable.

I look forward to discussing what an appropriate balance is.

I am not disputing the subject matter of any of these national emergencies is not important.

So, I know all too well that Article One of our Constitution enshrines Congress' power to make laws, control the power of the purse, and check the power of the President.

I think there are reasons why elected officials acted out of good faith, given the knowledge we had and the science we knew at the time.

Members who voted for the BIL voted for clean water.

Financial literacy education in the Department of Defense Education Activity schools is critical to prepare military children for the future.

It is more effective and less costly to prevent pollution than to clean up pollution.
