president james polk said he would treat silence as acquiescence and support for the war. and lincoln could not be silent anymore. so his first major address as a member of congress, he gives something that would be known as the spot resolution speech. after his speech, people thought that that was it for abraham lincoln. we have the principle of rotation, these people that served one term a piece and people are already talking about abraham lincoln running for reelection. as soon as he gets there. but after the spot resolution speech, no one is talking about abraham lincoln being in congress anymore. pretty clear that he is not going to run again. but why do they call it the spot resolution speech? every part of his resolution, if about the spot where blood was first shed in the mexican-american war, president polk said that american blood has been shed upon american soil. so you can picture this country lawyer, now he has a courtroom that is the marbled house of representatives. which is a statuary hall for those of you that have been to the capital. this was the meeting

there were concerns in the beginning that possibly polk some kind of cheap deal would be made with russia over syria. as you know there were some executive sanctions that have been put in place so the idea of codifying those and then an addition pushing back against the cyber activities that have been taking place relative to the elections but in many other areas, pushing back against some of those people that have been involved both in the defense and intelligence arena, adding sanctions for nefarious activities that have been taking place the supply of arms to assad in syria so there's a whole host of reasons is that congress wished to push back on. at the right time if you remember and conversations with secretary tillerson who wish to have a period of time first to spend with lavrov and others to see if they could change the trajectory of our relationship. it wasn't a threat. it was a statement of fact. we were going to do it, but you know in the event there was a breakthrough with russia, obviously that was altered so much what we did so i told him during to work. ago that we would n

polk said, state that had they should be counted as close relatives. this amendment would do just that and i urge my colleagues to support the amendment. >> ms. wasserman schultz is recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i rise in support of the pocan amendment. since united loving families should always be a goal, one of the greatest treasures that we have in life and something that unites all of humanity is our desire to be with our close family. and the freedom to visit these relatives is one that america cherishes. i'm sure that each and every one of us has hat some point worked on a constituent case related to the goal of allowing a close family member of a constituent to immigrate to the united states. it is something that has a very strong pull. so, i strongly support mr. pocan's amendment to ensure that grandparents, in-laws and other close relatives can visit their u.s. relatives. this month, a federal judge ruled that president trump's temporary ban on travelers from six predominantly muslim countries should not stand in the way. the judge r
