“I thank the chairman for yielding. Article I, section 1 of the United States Constitution says: ``The Congress shall have the power''--I want to repeat--``the Congress shall have the power to make rules concerning the capture on land and water.'' December 26, 2013, the President of the United States signed into law the Congress' action on article I, section 8, regarding making rules. The President had options on December 26, 2013. He could have signed it, as he did, accepted language that was in there, knowing it was in there--I am assuming someone over there read it. So he had an option to sign it. He had an option to send it back, and at that point the Congress could have done whatever they wanted to do. They could override it, they could rewrite it, they could revote on it and send it back again. What the President didn't have the right to do was to change it. And, in fact, I have heard a couple of times today quoting of article II of the Constitution. I have read it probably a dozen times just sitting here today. It is relatively short. I am having a hard time finding the authority here, but I did find some interesting thing.…”
