nugent: thank you, madam speaker. i'd like to thank the distinguished chair of the rules committee, mr. dreier, for allowing me to speak. i'll be perfectly honest with you. there's a lot about this rule that i don't love. but quite frankly, we don't have much time left. we need to bet something done, and we need to get something done now. this rule provides us with the tools and mechanisms that we need to get our jobs done and bring our economy -- our country back from the brink of default. default is not an option. the underlying legislation, the budget control act of 2011, saves us from default. most of all, i support the budget control act of 2011 because it means both chambers of congress must pass a balanced budget amendment before the president can raise the debt ceiling once again. do i like everything in the bill? no, i don't. does it do what the american people and the american economy need and deserve? yes, it does. and that's why i support both the rule and the underlying legislation. and with that i yield

nugent. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. nugent: thank you, mr. speaker. and thank you to the chairman of the rules committee, mr. dreier, for allowing me to speak on this topic. we have an obligation to ensure that government doesn't default on its debts for the first time in history. i've always said that america's a country that keeps her promises and those promises include our debts. the senate hasn't acted, the president hasn't acted, so today the house is considering yet another solution to keep these promises. i'm not just talking about promises to our creditors, if we default we break promises to our seniors, to our troops and to our veterans. such a scenario in my view is just totally unacceptable. the budget control act is a way forward, it's a down payment on serious spending reforms and it

nugent: that, mr. speaker, is a balanced budget amendment to the united states constitution, that's real action. the real change in the accountability in government that america needs and deserves. mr. speaker, we need a balanced budget amendment. the president has yet to send to this body anything in writing. all we received is a speech and rhetoric. we need to move this country forward. we need a balanced budget amendment. we need to pass h.r. 2560. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: at this time i'd like to yield three minutes to the gentleman from colorado, a member of the rules committee, mr. polis. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from colorado is recognized for three minutes. mr. polis: i thank the gentleman from massachusetts for the time. mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to the rule and the underlying bill before us. mr. speaker, i support a balanced budget amendment. but what the majority has brought before the hou

richard nugent. nope. ok. >> i'll be brief. no sense about tell me about my support for this. how actions speak louder than our words. to answer a quick question, what is the impact of the americans speech on the american people? one of the first e-mails i got from a lady in my district. she listened to the president last night. she had the intent of following through on his request, to contact my member of congress. so i am contacting you by e- mail. let me tell you what i like you to support, cut, cap, and balance. thank you all. >> i'm from south carolina. there is a philosophical difference between the people of the white house to think we had a revenue problem. they want to tax americans more second span more of america's tax dollars. and then you have the philosophical difference of men and women standing on the stage and within the halls of congress. and really americans across the land they understand that we have a spending problem. we are spending $1.5 trillion more than we are bringing in annually. we have debts mounting up. dangerous to loiter at the crossroads of

nugent, mr. johnson, mr. honda. the support is growing. and members can call either mr. amash's office or my office right now if they want to co-sponsor. this is our moment, in congress. this is our moment to reclaim the constitution of the united states which the founders envisioned that under article 1, section 8, we have the power to determine whether or not this neigh gos to war. not some rebel group in benghazi because when you reduce it to its ultimate, a group of bengaw zero rebels made the decision to go to war against its own government and before you know it, nato joins in, we're pulled into it, the administration went to everyone except getting the approval of the united states congress. this is our moment to reclaim the constitution. will we rise to the occasion? this isn't only about this congress right now. history will judge us. whether or not we understood. the imperative of article 1 section 8. this is about the constitution. certainly it's about a billion dollars that would be spent by september unless we intervene at a time of rising debt, at a time of

nugent: mr. chairman, firing a cruise missile at libya qualifies as hostility. in early june, it was estimated that libya was costing the american taxpayers over $700 million. i have three sons currently in the military and i'll support our troops no matter where the president sends them. however,ky not support obama's decision to commit our military forces operations without the required congressional authorization. that's why i co-sponsored this amendment. the 2012 department of defense appropriation bill, kucinich amendment. with that, ski all my colleagues, all members, to come down here on the house floor and express support for this important amendment to reclaim our constitution, to reclaim the validity of this congress as it relates to committing troops to war. mr. speaker, i support this amendment, i urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from washington rise? >> i move to strike the requisite number of words. the chair: the g

nugent: a plan is what we have here in front of us today. it's a new way forward. and i hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle recognize that and move with us. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentlewoman from new york. ms. slaughter: mr. speaker, i'm pleased to yield two minutes to the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. markey. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. markey: the republican party's deficit plan is very simple. one, prolong the default crisis. two, push the nation to the very brink of economic collapse. three, repeat it all again and again until election day, 2012. the republican party cares only about political victory. they don't want compromise. they want capitulation. and if america goes into default, it will be your fault. we now have the perform of the republican party's political paradox. republicans hate government. but they have to run for office in order to make sure it doesn't work. in 1995 and 1996 the republican pa

nugent: mr. speaker, there's been a threat laid upon us that there'll be a veto laid upon us if they pass this. mr. speaker, unless we address our addiction to spending, we will never, ever get to a point where the children that we have sitting in the audience, those that are sitting here that have children are never going to be table to -- able to pass on a greater opportunity to them like was passed on to me by my parents. mr. speaker, i appreciate and waive the plans of my time. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to clause 12-a of rule >> also, what amendments, if any, would be allowed in the republican plan. we will have that meeting at 5:00 eastern on c-span at3 and .-span.org gue hav have you ever visited the library of congress? this is your chance to visit the world's largest library. we will take you into the great hall and explore the main reading room. you will find unique books and special collections, including original box from thomas jefferson's personal collection. you will see how
