congress can vote those down.ay they do it is with joint resolution which the president can veto. so, the president is in such a structurally strong spot and congress has not been that creative and figuring out how to put itself on a level floating. it has some resources, it has some choices that can make. justice breyer wrote about how we can re-create the veto in a constitutional way all the way back in the 1980s. something to study when it's a political science. in a solid object to caterers. our biggest concern is to parts. the possibility of the remarks. also eat if congress does the kinds of things that we have articulated that we want to see in response that is ultimately not sufficient to counterbalance the interests of the courts and trying to expand their own power here. some of this is what i talked about earlier in terms of congresses structural challenges in writing detailed laws. i think the decision, i do think that it represents some transfer of power to the judicial branch. a lot of open questions

. congress having a publicly cold on biden, to drop out of the rice of correspondence f on simons and washington told me more about biden's insistence that he's returning to the campaign trail as well. uh the president is digging in. it seems he is really digging in uh we all thought just 24 hours ago that the, the growing list of democratic lawmakers who insist or want him to pass on the baton so to speak. wanted to drop out of the race are getting to him. but it looks like uh, the opposite is happening and president biden is digging in, reportedly seizing and fuming about nancy pelosi is the former speaker of the house initiative. i'm to birch him or to encourage him to rethink his his campaign and him staying in the campaign. so, so far he's not making, at least as we know we, the media ways are, which is also in a frenzy here in washington dc because there's nothing else people talk about. will he create really not really hold on who is still with him? who's against him? so it looks like for now and you decide for how long for no means or is for now, the president says he will rem

of the second continental congress. blandly that you, john hancock is unanimously selected a president. his moderation is what gets him the job his wealth assuages. moderates and conservatives. but he has strong rebel. he smuggled which fomented a mob. and he also had been served as president of the the provincial congress in massachusetts, which was the first political body to form reject rule by the british empire. so he had credentials. but this is the problem for his fellow massachusetts delegates, john adams and samuel adams. hancock. oh, look at him. okay. so this is we know this as independence hall today, but this is the pennsylvania state house at the time where second continental congress was held. and we see hancock with the arrow as president. he sat in the front of the room with the delegates at the tables in front of him. john excuse me, john hancock is not supporter of the adams cousins move meant for independence in the beginning. of 1776, both and samuel were plotting against hancock and his allies. a r

shame on our congress. instead of addressing today he should be delivered to the hague to discuss his war crimes over there. this war criminal netanyahu has a long history of crimes against humanity. has a long history of manipulating our own government and exploiting america's generosity. for the past 50 years, he has been actively manipulating our government to conduct wars in iraq and we see the results of the devastating war on the iraqi people and iraqi land and even our own economy here in the united states. and now in a few hours he will deliver a blistering, manipulative, deceptive speech to crack down more on the palestinian people and destroying their lives, their properties, and their own future state. not only that, he will work hard on his speech to manipulate our government to conduct a war with iran. this war criminal has said in many speeches, and i paraphrase, he believes the american people are stupid and they can be manipulate manipulated and can be directed the way he wants it. are ameri

the next two weeks have been for my colleagues around the country, and whether it be congress, congresstricts or whether it be states or senators in challenging areas. now you're hearing from them the concerns they have and how it might affect them, and on top of, that you have the donor class who is showing great reserve right now. with, that i do this with a very heavy heart in seeing that i would like for president biden to be able to finish his five months leaving this country, truly leaving this country the way we know he can. i've known him for many, many years. he's a good person, and he's a patriot. he wants to do the right thing. he wants to heal and bring people together. if at this point in time, he would pass that torch, he would be able to focus all of his energy to the next five months of how do we heal? how do we get to a peace treaty? how do we support ukraine so that they can have a strong position at the bargaining table? these are the things, and basically show the rest of the world, it's able to have a transfer of power, and do it in the most beneficial way for the w

congress punts. congress doesn't help. congress sort of gives him some ambiguous responses, leaves it in his hands and he handles it for grant. as a as we were just talking about grant tax back and forth and zigzags depending on what congress is giving at any point. sometimes gives him power with the enforcement act. sometimes congress takes it away when they de-fund the military and start mustering people out. grant doesn't try to go his way. he doesn't try to keep the military in the field. he doesn't try to use funds from another to pay for things he says. all right. that's the will of the people i to respect that and taft to the same extent is trying to work very carefully with congress and of course with the courts some of the best for taft respecting separation of powers is, of course with the supreme court and the 16th amendment, with the personal income tax that congress had initially wanted to check the supreme decision ruling, personal income tax, unconstitutional. 1895 congress wanted to respond with a law diffe

but truth is -- >> does he have the confidence of congress? >> no, he does not.-ed that appears in the wall street journal today that calls for a vote of confidence. a secret ballot because so many are afraid if they speak the truth they will be punished which is what happens in this business. it is repulsive. to show the president where congress stands would be helpful, because he's either ignoring the truth or those around him have failed to perform the national duty. >> we have to take a break. but please stay with us. we want to continue the conversation on the other side of it. >> sure. and keeping it off? same. discover the power of wegovy®. ♪ ♪ with wegovy®, i lost 35 pounds. and some lost over 46 pounds. ♪ ♪ and i'm keeping the weight off. wegovy® helps you lose weight and keep it off. i'm reducing my risk. wegovy® is the only fda-approved weight-management medicine that's proven to reduce risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with known heart disease and with either obesity or overweight. wegovy® shouldn't be used with semaglutide or glp-1 medici

now we've since so congress congress occasion on that we reached out and actually spoken to the like victim who was found safe. and well, i'm not the least bit surprised. i've never owned a land cruiser in my life. i don't even live in that area. the i have somebody in yeah, let's not, let's not, we've just lost a single day with us all these. i see sweetie. it's been a breaking news story now for the last number of hours. yeah. steve, it's all right, right. if you, if you got a few more details over to you by all means bring us the latest. yes. so it seems very much that this was a case of mistaken identity. the alleged victim of power, the has the same name bought on have served in the russian ministry, but whoever placed this improvised explosive device a seems to have very much targeted the wrong person. now there's a lot of speculation, again that this was a targeted attack that nobody has claimed responsibility for the blog so fall. but you'll recall that the ukranian intelligence chief carol, but don off gave a media or interview in which he listed what he described as legitim

netanyahu's speeches in the us congress. nancy plassey . netanyahu's speech was the worst speech by a foreigner in the life of the congress. martyrdom of 130 palestinians in the last 48 hours of airstrikes by the zionist regime on gaza, the number of martyrs in the last 10 months reached more than 39 thousand martyrs. burning heat on the thirty-fifth day of the season. in the summer , the demand for electricity in the country exceeded 79,000 megawatts due to the breakdown of the installation. the offices of the capital were closed today at 11:00 . turn off the extra light. turning off a lamp also has an effect. well, this is the help we do to ourselves. we must follow these things. another thing we can do is save electricity in the house. turn off the extra one in the times when we use a lot of electricity from the iron and vacuum cleaner . let me tell you about these appliances that consume a lot of electricity . we should not use them. with harsh weather conditions and crossing routes, these antennas are used to establish point-to-point c

and what's referred to as agency non-acquiescence and congress has a lot to say about that and congressmake choices about venue predictions. the clean air act were all chosen the d.c. circuit so there's never circuit. their other agencies were it's a blend so the national labor relations board some statutes where you only sue the regional court. congress makes those choices and doing so knowing that one of the trade-offs there is -- and the last thing i will say there's something out there that affects uniformity which is the practice of universal they cater issued by an injunction under the administrative procedures act which pushes against the laws in different places. this is a whole separate panel. i don't believe universal is provided for in the procedure i cannot think district courts should be able to prevent enforcement of an agency rule nationwide as congress has expressly given courts the authority but that is the norm now and that makes regional variation much less likely because the judges in seattle or new york or wherever and can resolve that question for the nation. i'm l

he launched a large congress for influential women and from 100 countries participated in this congress to see the achievements of iranian women up close and see the achievements of 80 danish companies whose directors are women. it was very interesting for them to show what they were seeing in iran and it was the opposite of what they had heard in the propaganda against iranian women, and after that they had extensive relations with different countries on a bilateral basis. multilaterally, we had 220 meetings with different countries, either virtually or in person, with the officials of female managers, female advisers or female ministers, and the exchange of opinions and thoughts and the support we could get from them in this field , so that the women's committee we formed anti-corruption and had several meetings with countries that are aligned with us that women themselves should take action to deal with corruption, to deal with the use of women as a tool to deal with the use of women's bodies in social environments, in administrative environments, thank god, at the ayora meeting, at

, congress and congress, yeah, a good one. >> yeah, yeah. >> congress has an ethics committee, right? it's lot a lot of people say, well, should they be investigated themselves? but they at least have some sort of structure in place. the courts don't. >> and that i think or at least the supreme court, right? and the lower courts do, right? lower courts and the supreme court is really like the one body, the governmental body that doesn't have anything holding them countable and i think that's sort of what this is getting at at a time when public trust in the institution is eroding across the board, right? these are measures i would think he's the code of conduct. 100% is something that i think people could get behind that term limits like you could argue that members of congress have an ultimate term limit, which is the voters. the voters get to decide, but they don't really haven't term what there's no right. they don't have a term limit, but voters can hold them accountable at any time. i've voted them out of office the president has a term limit and can be voted out of office. there

these are your members of congress. well, they are actually foreign agents because it's, it's basically public knowledge at this point that so many of our representatives have been bought and paid for by israel lobbies like a pack. so no they, they do not have our best interests are in mines and they are actually working for the israeli government. they are americans, representatives are not even representing america at this point. it's, it's 5 part of it. yeah, it's a bi partisan issue, and i would like to remind a lot of a lot of this country that's cop city is also a by parts an issue. the idea of mil that's rising, the state and over policing communities is not republican. it's not that it's both . obviously the was, it's been almost a facility being built in the mountains or with extra money. one last thing to be mostly made by top of the iris not being that they say it was a scheduling thing, but she is meeting with us on yahoo all up tomorrow. um, now the drivers side, joe, the person who called genocide jr, is l

please tell me about today's congress . every year usually such a congress is held. they participate in this huge religious event. we hold the congress every year, except during the corona era, when the traffic was reduced anyway, and we are happy that this year the fourth international health congress will be held in arbaeen from today. for 3 days in razi conference hall at iran university of medical sciences it will be held after the international congress. how was it seen? which countries are they from? we have 38 foreign guests in person from six countries. the countries of iraq, we also had a discussion that this congress will lead to greater cooperation between us and the health officials of iraq, god willing. similarly , from the countries of turkey and palestine, we fortunately have the head of the medical field of the palestinian islamic jamaat in our group today. anyway, in connection with mass gatherings and the necessary points in the field of health in these gatherings, especially in the current situation of palestine, also explain, god willing, also fro

well, thank god, iran has made a good move in a congress , he organized a large congress for influential women, and 100 countries participated in this congress. they came to see the achievements of iranian women up close. what they saw in iran was the opposite of what they heard and in the propaganda against. iranian women were mentioned and after that we had extensive relations with different countries bilaterally and multilaterally, 220 meetings with different countries either virtually or in person with officials. we had female managers, female advisers or female ministers, and the exchange of opinions and thoughts and companionship that we could get from them in this field, such that the women's committee. we organized corruption and had several meetings with countries that were aligned with us, that women themselves should take action to fight corruption , to fight the use of women as a tool, to fight the use of women's bodies in social environments, in administrative environments, thank god. ayora meeting in the ayora women's committee meeting, we were able to have the tehran state

and they get to congress and congress pretty clearly the people who will become the virginia opponents try and get the entire read debated line by line like it was a report and madison and other people who were in philadelphia think that they think that effort, the whole the whole thing goes differently. if congress re debates the whole thing they think that effort and then move to omit the fact that they had that vote from the record and made assent. so now there's no evidence that was even an attempt to read debated. and madison writes to washington, this is what went down in congress and writes him back. that's pretty good. people rarely peek behind the curtain and and i do there's this way in which the fact that then congress, the entity that technically sends the constitution out. yeah yeah changes the way ratification feels to a lot of i have to say mike's point about rhode island know like new york and virginia. i mean, think of new york and virginia ratified it doesn't that nine other states ratify? i mean every just the whole goes down. so i think the the 10th and 11th matter,

to congress the lex exceptions are there's seven votes. i'd mentioned province previously were two-thirds are required. there's some quorum requirements. and it's interesting argument because people like james madison alexander hamilton, they were all for a majority role and if you think about the filibuster, it's a super majority thing where you need 60 in the old age. you need 67 to proceed on certain types of business. so this is kind of conflict between the concept of what's called majoritarianism where the majority should rule in most cases, but clearly the founders intended for congress to establish their own rules. what is your position as editor-in-chief at the national constitution center? i have a really cool job and i get to work with the constitution every day and i run a blog called constitution daily, which we've had in some form i think for about 10 years. i've been to editor of that blog for the past eight and a half years since i joined we have about 500,000 monthly readers and we talked a lot about history and some curren

congress says no, and i say yes. [cheers and applause] we tried this -- look, we tried this once before, combining the democratic governor of a small southern state with a very liberal vice president and a democratic congress. america does not need carter ii. [cheers and applause] we do not want to take america back to those days of malaise. americans want to know -- where is proof that we will have better days in washington? i will give you 150 reasons and that's how many members of congress are expected to leave washington this year. some are tainted by scandal. the voters have bounced them the way they bounce their own checks, but others are good members, republican and democrat, and they agree with me -- the place just does not work anymore. 150 new members from both parties will be coming to washington this fall, and every one will have a fresh view of america's future. i pledge today to the american people immediately after this election, i will meet with every one of these members before they get attacked by t

as we know, members of congress. as we know. we _ members of congress. we live _ members of congress. as we know, we live in _ members of congress. as we know, we live in a _ members of congress. as we know, we live in a social- members of congress. as we l know, we live in a social media world now, and things like expansion, finlandjoining expansion, finland joining unfortunately don't expansion, finlandjoining unfortunately don't really make sound bites. instead what do are those gaffes, the confusion of names and so on. so do you think that could still damage him staying in this race when ultimately that is what is going to be clipped up and going to be clipped up and going around the world, the confusion of those names? i completely understand confusion of those names? i completely understand what you're saying and i think right now the media and much of the world are on a hunt for gaffes, so they won't listen so much for the policy or the legislation, they will listen for the moment he stumbles, so i think it is pivotal for the president to do every

| respond to that what round he was saying this for congress?— saying this for congress?ng this for congress? i hope what republicans do is what i saying this for congress? i hope i what republicans do is what ronnie said, he has chosen to step down and is no longer the potential nominee for the democratic party. because as the democratic party is going to move forward, they will focus on the future and they will focus on who can be responsive to the american people. we can go down this rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, but that's not where the american people are. they have been begging us for years now to give them options other than the ones that they had another democratic party is going to be responsive to that, so if the republicans want to open a an investigation into what is party politics as to how somebody gets nominated or doesn't get nominated, or whether or not they choose to be nominated, have at it. the democratic party is going to talk about the future of this country and i think it's going to stand in stark contrast to recriminations about the past and

executive branch, regardless of who the president or the congress is.ically since the end of world war ii. so eisenhower, kennedy, johnson, nixon, all of them got more and more power which impact where we are today as process and it's not sexy but that's reality. >> so you mentioned richard nixon and i'm glad you did because i just want to flash back to what nixon said in 1977. i mean, if you're richard nixon wouldn't you want your presidency back? let's watch to see what he said. >> well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal so he said, what the president does it that means it's not illegal. >> so here was the former nixon white house counsel, john dean yesterday talking about what would have happened to nixon under the rules that the supreme court just laid out yesterday i think that nixon would have survived. >> i think he would have walked under this ruling. well, there are no more crimes for precedence in official conduct pretty remarkable state of affairs, isaac. yeah, like this and it's not theoretical. this ruling was wr

to hold this congress, many congresses were held during the last year. last year, in the last two years, very good commemorations were held, well, after these city commemorations, we always emphasized that the commemorations of our martyrs were also held . a lot of investment was made. a lot of effort was made. the commemoration of our student martyrs is approximately 1,425 commemorations. madrasi vijeh shahada student at the city level in tehran province, today most of the school classes in our cities are named after martyrs and dear students have their classes named after them. the martyrs know each other. yes, let me ask you about it. our visit is a success that we have found. in the past one year , we had almost 18,000 unruly visits from the families of the great martyrs, and we went to see them . the families of the parents of the martyrs are mostly not among us now, and they are going to god's mercy, and we should take advantage of this opportunity and be present for the main congress and the final summit. what you said, we have a lot of time, sard

, congress breaking for the august recess without passing a 2025 federal budget and spending bills thate were expecting lawmaker have until september 30 to pass 12 spending bills keep government running where are we on this? national debt reached 35 trillion dollars first time ever, this week, are we looking at another continued continuing resolution how come to difficult to pass spending about its that the majority spending bills have been passed out of house of representatives, the senate has not been able the even pass one. in order to get something to the president's desk both chambers have to do their job, this is no surprise, there will not be a government shutdown it looks like it's going to be groundhog day all over again, maria, where you will see a cr in september probably go to december, after the election, threaten that is when funding bill will probably be 356d. >> do you think that is because the senate is being run by democrats they don't want to pass anything? >> i absolutely believe that i think the democrats are wanteding to see how elections turn out that will decide

war, but really the anti-lynching laws and things were constantly filibustered when it came through congress, even until the late 1930s. >> have filibuster rules been codified? >> well, when you talk about it you are talking about three or four different things. people think of the movie mr. smith goes to washington, jimmy stewart, dramatic scene he passes out during the filibuster. there's also other tactics that have been part of a tradition and the senate in particular. will call for the quorum, notable quorum calls. there's something called the disappearing quorum where people would leave the building so they could delay votes. there's been a lot of dilatory tactics but the filibuster itself as a tactic kind of came together in this 1880s period in the senate. before they were sporadic. that is kind of the start of the modern era of filibustering. >> let's go back to the 1880s. why do you keep referring to that as a very significant period? where there certain laws captaining? were there groups effective in using these tactics? >> after reconstruction and essentially with the 1877 electi
