Floor Speeches
Meeks spoke on the floor 41 times on 30 session days in the 119th Congress.
- House, September 16, 2026, 2,553 wordsSupporting Early-Childhood Educators' Deductions Act
I rise regrettably to oppose the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act. Why? It is a magic moment. It is a moment that we need to take right now. It is a moment that we need to move forward with.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, September 14, 2026, 670 wordsDirecting the President, Pursuant to Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to Remove United States Armed Forces from Hostilities with Iran

That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, July 22, 2026, 1,500 wordsDirecting the President Pursuant to Section 5(C) of the War Powers Resolution to Remove United States Armed Forces From Hostilities With Iran
The hardest part of this job for me for all the time that I have been in Congress, all the bills that we have to vote on-- when I put my hand up and swore that I would abide by and protect the Constitution of the United States of America, that Constitution also says that Congress determines when we send our women and men into war. I have had to vote on that several times previously in this Congress.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, July 15, 2026, 253 wordsNational Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2027
I rise today in opposition to the fiscal year 2027 appropriations bill for the State Department and foreign operations.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, June 29, 2026, 886 wordsDirecting the President Pursuant to Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to Remove United States Armed Forces from Lebanon
I rise today in support of H. Con. Res. 108. While I voted against a previous iteration of this resolution, I believe this updated version has corrected the flaws of H. Con. Res. 84.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, June 4, 2026, 1,355 wordsUkraine Support Act
The question before this House is simple: Will we help Ukraine negotiate from a position of strength, or will we help Putin outlast American resolve?
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, May 20, 2026, 1,890 wordsDirecting the President, Pursuant to Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to Remove United States Armed Forces from Hostilities with Iran
I rise today in strong support of my War Powers Resolution. Yes, here we go again. Today marks the fourth time this body will vote on a resolution to end President Trump's hostilities against Iran. After months of war, I ask the question: What has changed?
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, May 13, 2026, 2,165 wordsDirecting the President, Pursuant to Section 5(C) of the War Powers Resolution, to Remove the United States Armed Forces From Hostilities Against the Islamic Republic of Iran
I rise in strong support of H. Con. Res. 75. I thank Mr. Gottheimer for this resolution.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, April 16, 2026, 1,826 wordsDirecting the President, Pursuant to Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to Remove United States Armed Forces from Hostilities with Iran
I rise today in strong support of my War Powers Resolution, and I do so today because the Constitution of the United States actually demands it, and so does the conscience of the House of Representatives.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, April 16, 2026, 362 wordsDesignation of Haiti for Temporary Protected Status
I rise today in strong support of Representative Gillen's bill to extend temporary protective status for Haitians until 2029. In fact, to me, it is outrageous that it actually took Representative Pressley's bipartisan discharge petition to force this consequential vote.
