                    LAWSUIT AGAINST PRESIDENT OBAMA

  (Mr. KILDEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, so there are just 3 legislative days left 
before we go on recess, and the most pressing issue that the House 
Republican leadership has decided that we need to devote our 
legislative time to is a resolution to sue the President of the United 
States.
  Not to bring up a jobs bill, not to deal with comprehensive 
immigration reform, not to extend emergency unemployment benefits for 
the millions of people who have lost their benefits, but to debate a 
dangerous and unprecedented lawsuit with the House of Representatives 
suing the President. What is next--the Senate suing the House? I mean, 
this is really ridiculous.
  And after all that is done, what we are going to do is recess for 5 
weeks. Instead of taking up the issues that the people have sent us 
here to deal with, we are going to leave for 5 weeks after taking 
action--presumably, the majority will vote to sue the President of the 
United States.
  It is a waste of our time. It is a horrible waste of money. It is 
unconscionable. We ought to stay here and do the work of the American 
people that we were sent here to do.
