                        PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRIES

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, can you explain to the Members of the 
Chamber what is happening with the Iran War Powers Resolution that was 
scheduled to be voted on this evening?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does the gentleman have a parliamentary 
inquiry?
  Mr. McGOVERN. Yes. That is my parliamentary inquiry. I just want to 
know what has happened with the Iran War Powers Resolution.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman may consult with his 
leadership regarding the scheduling.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, further parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. McGOVERN. Are we not voting on it because the American people are 
sick and tired of this illegal war that is costing tens of billions of 
dollars, gas prices are through the roof, and people can't afford their 
groceries?
  Is that why you are pulling it? You guys don't have the guts or the 
balls to vote on this.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair is prepared to move on to the next 
question.
