                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 17, 2020

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, today is the 233rd 
anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution by our Founding 
Fathers in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The seven 
articles of the Constitution give clarity to our three branches of 
government: the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and 
explains the separating of duties for each.
  As an attorney, a retired member of the United States Armed Forces, a 
Member of Congress, and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, 
I appreciate the Constitution each day and hold fast to how the 
Founding Fathers envisioned limited government to provide for expanded 
freedom. I encourage all Americans to read and discuss the U.S. 
Constitution today with family, friends, coworkers, and others in honor 
and celebration of Constitution Day.
  In conclusion, God Bless our Troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
