the proud traditions of this house and its committees are continued by the committee funding resolution this rule will provide consideration of. our record of careful stewardship of taxpayer dollars continues with the house authorized funds for the 114th congress below those in 2008. the funding resolution was favelly reported out of committee by -- favorably reported out of committee by unanimous vote vote. the chair and ranking member worked to develop their priorities and each committee also reaffirmed its commitment to uphold the equitable 2/3 1/3 allocation between the majority and minority sides. our record of careful stewardship of taxpayer dollars continues with the house authorized funds for the 114th congress below those in 2008. returning to the ambush elections rule which was sadly not crafted in the same bipartisan fashion as our committee funding resolution, mr. speaker, we must remember that providing for free and fair elections is one of the most fundamental principles of our democracy. the national labor relations board's ambush elections rule is an affront to that principle. without a chance to opt out, it provides the personal contact information of every employee to organizers who may have had n

just yesterday uscis issued a final rule extending work authorization to the spouses of certain h1b visas. if the appropriations bill passed by the house were to become law, uscis would have been prevented from finalizing that rule. republicans don't talk about the fact they're refusing to fund dhs unless they block each of these efforts. that's what they voted to do. turning today's hearing, i'll note although the title of this hearing has been mentioned presumes that the president's executive actions are unconstitutional. no court, including the texas district court that issued the preliminary injunction has found that these actions are unconstitutional. in fact a challenge to the original docket program brought by the state of mississippi was thrown out of court for lack of standing. in a challenge to the administration's recent executive actions brought by sheriff joe arpaio was also dismissed for lack of standing. of course, i'm disappointed by the court's ruling. and i know millions of american families across the country are also greatly disappointed. still, i expect that both programs will be upheld as fully within the presiden

the president have exceeded authority through the rulemaking process. the house has voted multiple times, and i'm not going to go through all the times we have voted to overturn the white house rules. one regulation many of you have maybe heard about is the epa waters of the u.s. rule. sometimes referred to as wotus. it expands the federal powers of the epa. both republicans and many democrats actually opposed this rule because the president said it is the biggest federal land grab we have seen to date. it literally gives the president the authority to regulate the puddles on farm fields across the country. one farmer in my district, a great farmer brought me a picture and showed me a picture of a big puddle in one of his farms, on his acres, after a flood. he said this is what the epa will need to get permits for. this is going to drain quickly. we had a spring rain. now, they are very concerned as to how this is going to happen, and epa administrator jenna mccarthy apologize for her agency's failure to reach out to farmers at a national farmers union conference and she said i really wish we had talked to you. ok. they aren't talking to constituents. they are talking to the peopl

the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. burgess: mr. speaker, house resolution 173 provides for consideration of h.r. 2, the medicare access and chip re-authorization act of 2015 under a closed rule reflecting the careful, intricate bipartisan negotiations which brought this legislation to the floor. the rule provides for one hour of debate equally divided amongst the chairs and ranking members of the committees on energy and commerce and ways and means. as is customary, the rule allows the minority to offer a motion to recommit on the bill. finally, the rule provides for the customary district work period authority. this bill h.r. 2, resolves an issue that many of us have worked on for our entire congressional careers. this bill reflects years of bipartisan work, work across committees, and even work across the capitol with the other body. we brought together members of all ideological groups, as well as diverse outside groups. we coalesced around a policy that will help patients, doctors, providers to get out from under the constant threat of payment cuts under the medicare sustainable growth rate formula. everyone agrees, medicare sustainable growth rate formula has got to go.
