              AMERICA'S HISTORIC VICTORY AT THE BALLOT BOX

  (Mr. BABIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BABIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate President-elect 
Donald Trump, Vice President-elect Mike Pence, but most importantly, 
the American people on a historic victory at the ballot box.
  Make no mistake, this election was a resounding rejection of the 
status quo in Washington, a revolution at the ballot box. The American 
people are sick and tired of open borders, runaway Federal agencies, 
unconstitutional executive orders, a weak foreign policy, a sluggish 
economy, and a Federal Government that simply no longer listens to 
them.
  Now, under President-elect Trump and a Republican Congress, we have 
the opportunity to change that and achieve bold new steps that will put 
America on the path to a more secure and prosperous country.
  I look forward to working closely with the Trump-Pence administration 
to help advance these goals, and a conservative agenda that rebuilds 
our military, secures our borders, ends the failed ObamaCare 
experiment, creates jobs, and protects the unborn.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people have spoken loud and clear, and it 
is now time that we turn this historic moment into action.
