Floor Remarks on Ex-Im Nominee Mark McWatters
Jun 9, 2016
Mr. President: reserving the right to object.
What’s being proposed here today is to unleash the Export-Import Bank from the constraints it is currently under and to allow it to begin authorizing transactions above $10 million.

Lee Urges Colleagues to Support Due Process Guarantee Amendment
Jun 9, 2016
Mr. President: I rise today to discuss – and to urge my colleagues to support – amendment #4448, the Due Process Guarantee Amendment.
This amendment addresses a little-known problem that I believe most Americans would be shocked to discover even exists.
Under current law, the federal government has the power to detain indefinitely – without charge or trial – U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents who are apprehended on American soil.
Let that sink in for a moment.
