Congressman McClintock delivered the following remarks on the House floor regarding the President's veto of the Keystone Pipeline:
Mr. Speaker:
For more than six years, the President has called for taxpayer-funded infrastructure projects. In the first year of his administration, he squandered nearly a trillion dollars on so-called shovel ready projects that he later joked weren't shovel ready at all.
Rep. Tom McClintock, CA-04, today introduced H.R. 979, a bill to honor Marine SSgt Sky Mote, who was killed in Afghanistan on August 10, 2012. The legislation will designate a mountain peak in the John Muir Wilderness, under which the Mote family gathered to camp every year, as "Sky Point." Every member of the California congressional delegation is a co-sponsor of the bill.

The election of the House Speaker is a decision that is made by the House majority caucus. That decision is then enacted through a formal vote on the House floor by the unanimous action of that majority.
Congressman McClintock today released the following statement in response to the President's amnesty order:
