kentucky is one of the states that actually still has an electric chair. and i had asked the warden, i want to make sure we get a shot of the electric chair. so we go the end of the corridor in 3 cell house where they keep the execution chamber. and i remember he opened the door and there was old sparky. and it was unforgettable. >> this is the electric chair which is maintained by the kentucky state penitentiary in order to complete executions by electrocution. it was originally built somewhere in the 1900s. >> it's just leather and wood and metal. like any other chair. but there's this unmistakable feeling, you know people die there. >> some of kentucky's death row inmates can choose between the electric chair and lethal injection. that's also the case in the neighboring state of tennessee. and when we visited there, we met a death row inmate who soon would face that decision. and as far as daryl holton was concerned, the sooner the better. >> i was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder. my children. >> throughout the entire interview holton sp

president, i want to recognize eastern kentucky university located in richmond, kentucky, for all the school has done on behalf of kentucky's veterans. e.k.u. has been named one of the top universities in the nation for veterans for the second consecutive year. the recognition was given to e.k.u. by "the military times" edge magazine for the university's commitment to help military men and women advance their education. they made a commitment over the past several years to make the institution more hospitable to america's brave veterans. this includes dropping admission fees for undergraduate veterans, granting in-state invasion for all -- tuition for all veterans. e.k.u. is a commitment to better education for our nation's heroes and has by all accounts been a huge success. in addition to receiving national recognition from the veterans community, the university has seen its veteran population grow by some 40% in the last year. so today on the eve of veterans day, i wish to honor eastern kentucky university for its dedication to better-serving our country's brave veterans and to cong

the presiding officer: the senator from kentucky. mr. paul: it disappoints me that president obama opposes a former end to the iraq war, but it doesn't surprise me. as a candidate, president obama was outspoken against the war and for ending the war. he will be bringing the troops home, but this vote and this debate is not about necessarily just bringing the troops home. this is a debate over power. the executive branch wants to keep the unlimited power to commit troops to war. this is about who holds the power. the founding fathers intended that congress should hold the power. this vote is about whether we will continue to abdicate that power and give that power up to the executive. that allows for no checks and balances. we need to have checks and balances. it's what our founding fathers intended. with regard to defending ourselves, there is authorization for the president to always defend the nation using force. there is authorization for every embassy around the world to defend the embassy, and that's why we have soldiers there. we a
