tester: thank you, denis mcdonough. sen. moran: thank you. mr. mcdonough, i have been a critic of what i describe as executive overreach. i believe article i has the ability to give congress an important responsibility. administrations over a long period have chipped away at that balance. if the executive branch was less aggressive and the congressional legislative branch was more aggressive. i have tried -- you were involved in administration i criticized for being aggressive and executive orders. but i tried to balance that by saying part of the problem is congress does not do with job. it leaves this space open for an executive of either party to advance their agenda. i would love to see this congress work better than it does. i want to try to make sure i do my part. where i would find fault is in the area in which agencies, the executive branch, the department of veterans affairs and others when there is clear legislation and clear legislative intent, both language and attention, that the language and attention is not followed. in our conversa

i'm proud to introduce my friend and fellow minnesotan denis mcdonough as president biden's nominee for secretary of veterans affairs. today denis is joined by his wonderful wife carry along with two kids. he grew up on the wisconsin border, and he is the grandson of irish immigrants. the son of devout catholic parents and mother to 10 siblings. he attended st. john college in collegeville, minnesota and in addition to graduating summa cum laude, he played safety on the proud championship st. john's football team. i've been privileged to call denis a friend for years and i know he will serve our country so well as the secretary. as he has done his whole life, he will honor the promises our country has made to our veterans and their families. denis' commitment to our nation's veterans was clear during his time as president obama's chief of staff. when he made sure that every decision impacting our service members, veterans and their families was befitting of their sacrifices, showing respect and gratitude is not something he prioritizes, it's a value for him. he's an adept manager who un

the better question is how will denis mcdonough handle these issues? i think the v.a. has been a leader in several fields regarding veteran health care and hopefully that continues under a secretary denis mcdonough. in regarding to the russian targeting of individual service members, i think there are a lot of bad actors, whether they are associated with a particular country or private groups or individuals who target and try to take advantage of veterans. that is unacceptable. the question of what role does the v.a. play in that? i still think that is up for debate. what i don't want to see is the v.a. or government entity given more power in regard to regulating speech and social media. i think that would ultimately be detrimental in the long-term to having a free and open debate. we need a good marketplace of ideas, and allowing veterans to use social media to connect with each other. i think that is an example of the road to hell is paved with good intentions. a lot of people fighting these issues have their hearts in the right place. i would worry too much about a
