united states. the senate has sent over a bill which proported to pay the president of the united states and the congressor any time that lapsed during which there was not authorization for appropriations for the government activity. it is on its face blatantly unconstitutional, violating the section of the constitution that deals with presidential pay and specifically the 27th amendment of the constitution which does not allow us to do that. the author of the bill before us in the statement of the constitutional authority makes it clear that we recognize the limits of the action we can take and instead we would in this way command those payments nod to be made during the period of time in -- not to be made during the period of time thereby making a very serious and good faith attempt to put that pressure on members of congress and the president of the united states but in a constitutional way. and so members should be aware of the difference between the language contained in this provision before us and that which was sent over here by the senate which on its face both constitutional scholars have looke

impeachable offenses are high crimes and misdemeanors and we are making an effort here in the united states to bring a bill of impeachment into congress and try to stop this war just briefly and finally we see sarkozy and cameron facing similar allegations. well clearly our sarkozy and camera you don't know well have to be are handled by their own people but clearly what we're seeing unfold here in libya is a pre existing work plan by nato by the british by the french by the americans to attack libya there is no way this amount of military force and pots higher power could have been put together in such a short period of time and less there was a work plan that was activated the moment there were disturbances in not in benghazi and now everything now is going according to plan which is why i believe that since they have failed to. depose conduct the witness steps so far the next stage will be moving into a ground invasion and remember secretary of defense gates said publicly that anyone going to president obama with a plan for a third ground war in the middle east needed his head examined i think gates sai

read article 1, section 7, every bill shall have passed the house of representatives and the senate shall before it became law be presented to the president of the united states. he has how a bill becomes a law. now, this is how eric cantor on 3/30/11 said a bill becomes a law. the senate's gotta -- this is just the transdescription. i just assume it's the southern thing. the senate's gotta act prior to the expiration of the c.r. if it does not act, meaning, if the senate does not do something, h.r. 1 becomes the law of the land. that's not true. that's not constitutional. that's not fitting of this body. now, it is, however, consistent with the -- how the majority party has been governing around here. they passed rules that they've ignored. for example, on january 5 they had members of their caucus take the oath in front of a television set. on february 9 they failed to provide constitutional authority for a bill despite that it was one of their rules. on march 13 they failed to get a 3/5 majority for passage of a bill that raise tax rates despite the fact that it was part of the rules. on march 17 they failed to make a bill available within 72 hours

the united states senate doesn't legislate on appropriations bill for a simple reason. every united states senator knows that it would be open season for the special interest lobbyists all over this town. now, the administration and this body took a stand earlier this year against earmarking, something that you're very much aware of, madam president. and i'd like to quote from the president's state of the union address. the president said "the american people deserve to know that the special interests aren't hrargd up -- larding up legislation with pet projects. both parties in congress should know this," said the president. "if a bill doms my desk with earmarks inside it, i will veto it." madam president, i would like to have somebody explain the difference between letting a lobbyist slip an earmark into an appropriations bill and slipping the legislative language into an appropriations bill that benefits a whole array of special interest lobbies? it sure seems to have the same effect to me. now, i'm not certain who proposed eliminating free-choice vouchers in this appr

sort of thing, just wait until you see the impact on the economy if the united states has to start defaulting on its treasury bills. but the president has said he wants a clean bill. he wants an up-or-down vote on this to raise the debt ceiling. last night, speaker boehner made it pretty plain that is not going to happen. let's listen to what he said. >> and the president says, "i want you to send me a clean bill." guess what, mr. president. not a chance you're going to get a clean bill. i can just tell you this. there will not be an increase in the debt limit without something really, really big attached to it. >> schieffer: well, senator sessions, what does that mean "without something really, really big attached to it"? >> we've got to talk about the systemic problem that we have. we limited how much debt by congressional action that the country could assume. we reached that limit far sooner than we thought because the spending is surging out of control. so the question now is, should we raise it? and the american people are saying, "children, you've misbehaved. you've spent too much of our money." i think thro

president, if everything breaks down, i have a bill that now has 74 cosponsors, 74 cosponsors in the united states senate out of 100. and that bill is very simple, and it says, if everything else falls through, even though everyone that i'm talking to wants us to have that agreement that will not shut down government, that does fund our army, our navy, our air force, our marines, our coast guard, all of those in the transportation security administration, all of those personnel who are waiting to see if their financial lives are going to be disrupted, i want to make the deadline so it will not be. however, i do have a simple bill because there are some people who are not in the united states right now who are overseas protecting our freedom. they're serving in iraq, they're serving in afghanistan, their loved ones are mostly at home watching what's going on, and i've been looking at the comments of the wives of the personnel who are worried about what affect this is going to have on them because they've actually gotten notices that their pay is going to be cut, that it is going to be less t

you know let me point out that the united nations human rights commission gave. the government a clean bill of health in the year two thousand and ten last year human rights the u.s. last year several years ago back us in every other country removed libya from any terrorist list so they haven't been guilty of terrorism and the like and so what is the u.s. doing here is it's it's it's taking our c.n.n. here i only have basle spades states the totally collaborate they cooperate and throw open their plan their labor their resources their markets through a completely open to internet and international capital for they are potentially enemy states by the you are a vassal or av so call ally a friend or you are a potential enemy and libya is seen as a potential enemy in many ways surely relations improved there are a lot of bridges built between the us on the course europe and what we saw there was it not people power a revolt against a forty year old regime against a dictator who they want to remove they are actually saying that this wasn't wanted by the libyan people any of us will know the way

the fact that they are 700,000 foreign students in the united states, the fact that the bill and melinda gates foundation is working on eradicating malaria in africa, these are the things that are true -- or hollywood in its own way. i mean, these are things that are generating a lot of america's soft power. the more the government stays out of the way of that, or is able to support it with a cut off so it's government controlled, that's i think the right way to generate american narrative. >> i'm just wondering what teacher up at night in terms of threats to the u.s. you seem very optimistic and i'm just curious what makes you worry specter are things that make me worried. anand, in fact, i deal with in e book. when i use to be just the national intelligence council, i would say to the various and the less after they had done their alignment of scenarios and assign probabilities to them, now, to which you think all this is wrong which makes you sensitive to assumptions you put them. so as i write the six chapter of the book on balance, the americans will still be the most powerful count

creation and growing our economy, i would suggest he would immediately send these no cost jobs bill to the united states congress for approval. trade is not the only area where i believe president obama's leadership void extends. i was encouraged when the president spoke about the need for tax reform in the state of the union address. i believe it will take both chambers of congress and the president's leadership is a must. in 1975, our tax code contained 700,000 words. today, that count exceeds 3.8 million words. in the past decade, there have been 4428 changes to the tax code, including more than 579 changes just last year alone. in 2008, taxpayers spent $163 billion just trying to comply with individual and corporate income tax rules in america. this is equal to bddp of pakistan. to say we need tax reform -- equal to the gdp of pakistan. we will try to reform the tax system on the ways and means committee. this will be a multi-year process from beginning to end. president reagan made tax reform a priority after the 1984 election. many credit his direct involvement with the passage of tax refor
