                          SEPARATION OF POWERS

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, the Constitution is clear. The people's 
elected Representatives, Congress, have the power to legislate, and the 
courts have judicial authority.
  Unfortunately, in recent years, those powers have been diluted by 
overreaching and unelected administrative branch bureaucrats that 
believe they are the sole arbiters when it comes to administering 
policies, not the American people through their Representatives.
  Regardless of which political party is in office, both Republicans 
and Democrats alike should be concerned about willfully giving away 
their constituents' voices when deciding pressing matters.
  The Separation of Powers Restoration Act, which I am proud to 
support, would restore a separate but equal government our Founding 
Fathers intended and give back to the people, the American people and 
their Representatives the capacity to make policy. This is as common 
sense as it gets and should draw wide bipartisan support.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all Members to join me in voting ``yes'' on 
H.R. 288.
