CHANGE SENATE RULES
(Mr. PALAZZO asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, the American people are sick and tired of
talk. They want action.
For 3 years now, Senate Democrats have blocked votes on bills
important to all Americans. They have blindly supported the President's
failed policies and have shielded him from having to defend his
policies to the American people.
House Republicans have heard the American cry for help. We fought to
repeat ObamaCare. We fought to stop the reckless Iranian nuclear
agreement. Once again, we are fighting to defend the defenseless. We
have passed budgets that will reduce our national debt, stop job-
killing regulations, provide for our national defense, and get
Americans working again.
Republicans control Congress. We have better solutions to the
problems that face our Nation. It is time for the President to go on
record for his opposition to commonsense solutions that put America
first. This can only happen if the Senate employs the nuclear option.
It is time to change the Senate rules and force this President and the
Senate to work for the American people instead of against them.
