jerry kelly mr. speaker, i rise -- mr. kelly: mr. speaker, i rise today in support of the legislation that would allow general james mattis to be allowed to serve as secretary of defense. as a member of congress, we're sworn to uphold the constitution and defend our country against its enemies. in order to secure our national security, we must have a seamless transition from one administration to another when it comes to military leadership. i somehow wonder which other cabinet appointees has the house questioned. and the answer is, none. although this requires a waiver, there's a senate confirmation process that determines whether or not general james mattis is the right person. so they are not -- i wish he would have testified in our committee, there's no requirement that he testify in front of our committee. that is why we have the senate. it is their duty to vet the candidates for these positions. it is their duty to confirm the candidates for each of the cabinet positions, and no other member who is trying to be on the cabinet h

mr. kelly: mr. speaker, mr. chairman, thank you so much. i come from the private sector. when i come to the house and listen to the debate going back and forth, i almost feel like i'm not from a different planet, but a different galaxy. when we talk about overregulation and the effects of unelected bureaucrats, leveling on the american people $2 trillion and an impact to the economy, then somebody ought to sit up an listen. all we're talking about is scrutiny. scrutiny of any piece of legislation, any executive order that comes out, that's going to have an impact of $100 million or more on the economy. around here, $100 million sounds like nothing. where i'm from, it is unbelievable that we would even think that $100 million should be the point that we look at. what could be more common sense that that -- than to look at the heavy burden we're putting on everyday americans and saying that somehow, unelected bureaucrat who was never walked in their shoes, who have never done their job, who have never had to worry about meeting a payroll, never had to worry about regulation

yesterday mrs. kelly ann conway, a senior advisor to president-elect was on a morning show and she said -- quote -- "we don't want anyone who currently has insurance to not have insurance. good statement. then she went on to say when she's asked about whether the republicans should come up with a replacement, she said -- quote -- "that would be the ideal situation. let's see what happens practically." well, i don't know mrs. conway but her observations square with what we feel on this side of the aisle and more and more republicans are starting to say publicly. it's irresponsible for us to repeal the affordable care act without an alternative. it invites chaos. we know what is likely to occur. we know that if there's no replacement that is as good or better, people are going to lose their health insurance. illinois' uninsured rate has dropped by 49% since the affordable care act was passed. a million residents in my state now have health insurance who didn't have it before the affordable care act. illinoi
