nermeen: congressman khanna, what about the role of the united arab emirates and what u.s. support for the uae is a sever from saudi arabia? >> they have been part of the coalition. the majority of the bombing is still being conducted by the saudi regime. but the uae has participated in the bombing, participated in that support. and to your earlier point, one of the reasons pompeo and mattis ofled for a cease-fire violence, they knew they were losing support in congress. they knew this war powers resolution was pending, that it was going to come for a vote, that they have 50 to 20 republicans defecting -- many from the freedom caucus. they wanted to try to preempt that. they did it in language, as you pointed out, that gives them a loophole so they can blame me houthis and the cycle of violence continues. but mike lee even to republican colleagues is, look at the humanitarian catastrophe. it is in no with interest that kids and women continue to die and that you have a famine, as you pointed out, could affect 14 million people to put that in context, 800,000 people died in

khanna: let's be very clear. this is unprecedented. in american history, never, never has the speaker of the house and the majority denied a member of congress a vote on matters of war and peace. this is basically rendering ineffectual the war powers act. the war powers act was passed in a bipartisan fashion after vietnam because our nation said never again are we going to make the mistake of vietnam. we're going to make sure if a member of congress calls for a vote that members of congress have the article 1, section 8 responsibility to vote on matters of war and peace. and the majority is saying if the president of the eyes and the speaker believe we should be at war, we should be at war, it doesn't matter what members of congress think. that's what they're doing with this rule. now they are arguing that we are not complicit in the hostilities of yemen to invoke the war powers act. but you read every article written on this in the international press or national press and it starts with a simple line -- the u.s.-backed saudi coalitio

khanna: thank you, representative maloney. i rise in support of the idea act that representative john radcliffe and i introduced. the idea behind this act is very simple. i represent silicon valley, companies in the private sector have very sophisticated websites that make it really easy for consumers to use. there is no reason that the united states government shouldn't have websites that are as user friendly and easy to use. this bill will require our agencies to be as user friendly to citizens as the private sector is for consumers. this bill would never have taken place if it wasn't for bipartisan leadership. i want to particularly recognize chairman hurd who not only helped with this but gave me how to draft the bill and ranking member robin kelly. i also want to recognize john radcliffe for his extraordinary work, senator rob portman who has moved this in the senate, and matt at the white house office of innovation who has been instrumental in this. it shows that the congress can work to bring modern technology into gove
