                         ELECTED WITH A MANDATE

  (Mr. CISNEROS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CISNEROS. Mr. Speaker, President Trump was elected with a mandate 
to improve the daily lives of hardworking Americans, a mandate to lower 
housing costs, make groceries more affordable, and help families get 
ahead and stay ahead.
  Let's take a moment to highlight what the President has done for the 
people during his first week in office: ended birthright citizenship, a 
guaranteed right under the 14th Amendment; terminated diversity, 
equity, and inclusion programs; withdrew the United States from the 
Paris agreement; renamed the Gulf of Mexico; raised the cost of 
prescription drugs for seniors on Medicare and Medicaid; pardoned 1,500 
convicted felons who stormed our Capitol and violently assaulted our 
police officers on January 6, 2021; and created a special fake 
department for shadow president Elon Musk.
  Wait. None of those executive orders lowered costs, let alone 
meaningfully improved the lives of the American people.
  I urge the President to stop treating the White House like his 
Twitter account and get to work fixing the problems he was elected to 
solve.
