it was benjamin franklin when he walked out of the constitutional convention, a lady there asked him what have you given us? and his answer was a republic, madam, if you can keep it. the republic is a representative form of government, you elect representatives to come to the house, be re-elected or not every two years, go to the united states senate, for six-year terms, with the idea that we would be a quick reaction force here in the house, and a longer term view, maybe a little cooling effect over in the senate and the balance of these two bodies, article 1 in our constitution, the most powerful and influential component of our three branches of government is congress. the united states congress. that's why it's article 1. all legislative power exists here between the house and the senate. article 1rk the legislative powers of the united states government are here. here, mr. speaker, in this house. and over the other end of the capital build -- capitol build, through the rotunda and over to the united states senate. all legislative powers. article 1. our founding fathers started w

commanding the slow, under armed ship, named in tribute to his parisian patron, benjamin franklin, hephed over the new, technologically superior bridget -- risch frigate in a savage north sea encounter. at the height of the battle, jones delivered his celebrated rallying cry, "i have not yet begun to fight" at least recounted one of his officers. these words appear on the back a the memorial, along with picture of jones raising the new american flag for the first time on a vessel in service to the united states. the kid -- dedicated in 1912, a 10 foot tall bronze statue of the admiral is flanked by sculptor dolphins whose mouth water a small pool. a marble column 15 feet in height serves as a backdrop. while his heroism and skill are beyond doubt, the fact is he almost certainly never said "i have not yet begun to fight." the first printed reference to the electrifying phrase appeared -- the first printed reference appeared almost 50 years after the battle. >> now you can keep in touch with current events from the nation's capital using any phone anytime with c-span radio on audio now

explain the structures of power to the colonies who didn't understand them and eve then ans like benjamin franklin of until the very last moment and it was part of his job to explain why this wasn't possible and one of the things all three of us probably feel and i will stop in a second and let you both address this there has been a misreading on the part of the american left and even the progressive community of the structures of power that has rendered us impotent. we have effectively been channeling our energy back into the dead political system. i wrote many of the major speeches in the 2008 election. i think that was because they had been diverged defectively into the personal narrative of the candidate which is a relevant in terms of understanding the mechanisms of power. and just as he understood that the imperial power of the british. it was listening because that is why we had one o of them are jut models of 350 should send in new york. it isn't just a question of the structural powers as true that thomas paine comes at 37-years-old to the new world and already has a critique of not just

benjamin franklin.e was hollywood's version of the birth of our nation? let's ask an historian and author of "don't know much about history" series. >> hollywood got it wrong. it's a wonderful movie. has great moments in it. the 56 signers did not sign on the fourth of july. only two men signed on that date because they had an inky scratched out piece of thomas jefferson's draft. john hancock, not a big signature and charles thompson secretary of congress and then the next day it was over and people started to celebrate. >> when did the congressional congress actually sign it? when should we be celebrating? >> the fourth of july is clearly the nation's birthday although john adams thought it would be july 2nd. congress votes a resolution of independence on the second. adams goes home that night saying that this day will go down in history. he'll celebrate with pomp and celebration. just off on the day. when people saw the declaration when it was published and saw july 4th, 1776 that became the nation's

federal government used to play an essential role for infrastructure throughout our history, from benjamin franklin's postal roads to abraham lincoln's transcontinental railroad to dwight eisenhower's interstate highway system. the ability to even imagine such accomplishments is increasingly a thing of the past. this means we're losing our competitive edge to be able to move goods efficiently. our families are losing mobility. our low level of investment is being dwarfed by competitors overseas. europe, india, japan and especially china. hanghai has 14 subway lines. high-speed railway, two massive modern airports, 20 expressways and a high-speed train leaving shanghai every three minutes. china has spent 8.5% of its gross domestic product for 20 years while american investment has shrunk to 1.7%. recently for a system that's variously rated 12th or 27th, depending on what you're looking at. is it any wonder that china's economy has expanded 700% in 20 years while america struggles to grow at 2% a year? with such an overwhelming well-established need, it's criminal that congress is in the process of m

benjamin franklin said this -- quote -- "tricks and treachery are the practice of fools with not witsough to be honest." close quote. if corporations want to leave america, it's their right, but american taxpayers shouldn't be forced to foot the bill when u.s. corporations want all the benefits of commerce in this country without having to pay their fair share. i ask unanimous consent the republicans control the time from 3:30 until 4:30 today and the majority will control from 4:30 until 5:30 p.m. today. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. so ordered. mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the republican leader. mr. mcconnell: there is a lot we can get done in washington when democrats are willing to put the politics aside and work together for bipartisan results. we saw an example of that yesterday when the president signed a bipartisan work force training bill into law, legislation i and others proudly supported. unfortunately, though, we've rarely seen such bipartisanship from washington democrats these days. working toward bipartisan soluti
