congratulations to republicans nancy mace of charleston for your election tuesday to the south carolina house of representatives. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from new york seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. higgins: mr. speaker, a continuing resolution to extend federal spending for one month may not pass because the president tweeted that he does not support funding for health care for nine million american kids. in is a terrible indictment and the congressional leadership that's again cowering to a pet lent, uninformed president, a president who's making a mockery of congress as a co-equal branch of the federal government and that congressional republican leadership is complicit is a national embarrassment. i say congress should roll the president and force him to veto children's health care. mr. president, a continuing resolution is a failure to act.
