What Congress Said
Members who spoke about this bill on the floor, in their own words from the Congressional Record.
Republicans15 spoke
I rise today in support of H.R. 6047, as amended, the Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act, introduced by my friend and fellow veteran, Representative Tom Barrett.
For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentlewoman from New Mexico (Ms. Leger Fernandez), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose of debate only.
This bill, as my colleague has mentioned, had over 230 sponsors. It is very bipartisan, and I think we all agree that it is long past time that the women of this country, who make up more than half of the population, deserve to have a museum that tells their stories and shares their contributions to our great country.
I rise today in support of H.R. 6047, the Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act, legislation that I am leading with Chairman Bost to support the servicemembers and families who sacrificed the most for our Nation.
I rise in support of H.R. 1329, the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum Act, introduced by my colleague, Representative Malliotakis, from New York.
I rise today in strong support of H.R. 1329, the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum Act, and I want to start by recognizing my colleague Nicole Malliotakis for her tenacity and her leadership in bringing this legislation to the floor. I thank Nicole for never backing down or giving up.
I rise today in support of the creation of a Smithsonian museum dedicated to the history of American women. I thank Chairman Steil and Representative Malliotakis for their leadership in this important effort.
This bill would restore Second Amendment rights to the veterans who valiantly served our Nation but whose constitutional right to bear arms has been stripped away by unelected bureaucrats.
I rise today in strong support of the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act. I am proud to represent El Paso County and the 100,000 veterans and Active-Duty servicemembers who live there. These heroes committed their lives in service to the Nation and in protection of our Constitution.
Chairman Bost's commonsense bill stops the VA from automatically feeding veterans' names into the background check system. It protects the Second Amendment rights of the men and women who fought for ours.
I missed a series of votes today. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 182, NAY on Roll Call No. 183, AYE on Roll Call No. 184, YEA on Roll Call No. 185, and AYE on Roll Call No. 186.
Virtually identical language appears in this bill--ironically, right next to the provision that explicitly excludes political viewpoints held by women of the United States. I guess it should have explicitly read: the diversity of political viewpoints held by Republicans alone.
President Trump has not used his first 18 months in office to reduce costs or end foreign wars like he promised--quite the opposite. Last week, he said he doesn't ``think about Americans' financial situation.''
I rise today as the ranking member of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee in opposition to the offset in this bill.
I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 1041, legislation that would prevent VA from keeping firearms out of the hands of some of the most vulnerable veterans in the VA system.
The facts are clear. Veterans are far more likely to die by firearm suicide than the average American. That risk is even higher for veterans assigned a fiduciary when they can no longer manage their own affairs. That is the group that this bill targets.
This bill does not go far enough. The rate for dependency and indemnity compensation, or DIC, has been minimally adjusted since the Department of Veterans Affairs established the benefit in 1993.
I rise today in opposition to the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum Act, as amended. Frankly, that is disappointing because this bill used to be a bipartisan success story.
This bill is focused on bathrooms and pronouns, and it is a crazy turn of events for the party to be telling local communities what they can and can't do, and it is one of 126 trans-obsessed bills introduced in this Congress. That is an insane number. The majority has already passed nine.
