Scalise’s Summer Update: House Republicans Continue Winning for the American People

After a year and a half of House Republicans' majority, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) released the following statement on the progress House Republicans have made in fulfilling their Commitment to America agenda: 

"Under President Biden and Vice President Harris’ leadership, America has seen record inflation, soaring energy prices, the worst border crisis in our lifetime, and chaos on a global scale. Since taking the majority, House Republicans have worked tirelessly to combat the Biden Harris Administration’s disastrous policies, stand up for the American people, and fulfill our Commitment to America both on the House Floor and in our committees. 

"We’ve brought legislation to the floor to unleash American energy and lower costs for families, including bills to reverse the Biden Administration’s radical anti-energy policies and resume oil and gas leasing sales, promote domestic mining of critical minerals, and reform our broken permitting process. We’ve also passed legislation to crack down on the Biden Administration and Border Czar Vice President Harris’ border crisis, such as H.R. 2, the 
Secure the Border Act, which would stem the flow of migrants, reinstate Trump-era border policies, and keep fentanyl off our streets. Additionally, we’ve strongly supported our ally, Israel, against Iran and their terrorist proxies, as well as against the far-Left’s antisemitic attacks, and passed legislation to deter our adversaries.

"Our committees have been hard at work increasing transparency and accountability in government, from exposing rampant antisemitism on college campuses, to demanding answers about the assassination attempt on President Trump, to revealing new evidence of President Biden’s involvement in his family’s shady business dealings and his Administration’s efforts to impede the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden.

"This is only some of what House Republicans have accomplished to fulfill our promises and address the crises that are most affecting the American people and our national security. But we’re not done working – House Republicans are going to finish this Congress strong and continue pushing back against the Biden Harris Administration’s extreme agenda that has crushed hard-working families. We won’t stop fighting to preserve freedom, strengthen our economy, protect communities, and hold the government accountable.
"

    A Government That’s Accountable ✅
     
    Oversight Investigations
    • Attempted Assassination Task Force:
      • On July 24th, the House unanimously voted to create a bipartisan task force to investigate the July 13th Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump. Congress is in the process of forming and staffing this committee. It is imperative that the American people have answers about the security failures that day as soon as possible.
    • Impeachment of Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas:
      • On February 13, 2024, the House impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his willful and systematic refusal to comply with immigration laws and breaching public trust, thus creating one of the biggest humanitarian crises this country has seen in recent history.
      • Though the Senate neglected to fulfill its constitutional duty to hold a trial, the House collected ample evidence through the Homeland Security Committee’s inquiry that showed Secretary Mayorkas violated his oath of office.
      • As part of the investigative process, the Homeland Security Committee conducted 10 full and subcommittee hearings, gathering testimony from more than two dozen witnesses. The Committee, along with the House Oversight Committee, also conducted transcribed interviews of chief and deputy chief patrol agents responsible for the Border Patrol’s nine Southwest border sectors as part of this investigation.
      • See the Articles of Impeachment detailing the charges against Secretary Mayorkas here.
    • Antisemitism Investigations:
      • After the horrific events in Israel on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent military actions taken by Israel to defend herself, the United States has seen a disturbing uptick in antisemitism, especially on college campuses. Led by the Committee on Education and Workforce, Congress has demanded answers from these universities about student safety as well as funding of pro-Hamas groups and propaganda.
      • The Committee has so far discovered a troubling culture on campus, where administrators fail to implement protections for Jewish students, and even mock Jewish students in private texts.
      • Congress will not stop putting pressure on these universities to restore civility and assure students of any religion are able to pursue higher education without fear.
    • Regulatory Oversight Post-Loper Bright
      • This summer, in a case called Loper Bright v. Raimondo, the Supreme Court rightly struck down the infamous Chevron doctrine, which for decades, had permitted courts to defer to agency interpretations of laws where there was ambiguity. By allowing such deference, the Court had upset the Founder’s careful separation of powers, permitting courts to abdicate the judicial role granted exclusively to them through Article III of the Constitution and enabling the Executive to usurp the legislative authority granted exclusively to Congress through Article I.
      • In order to assure the Biden administration respects the limits placed on its authority in Loper Bright, our House committees sent oversight letters to nearly every agency in the Executive branch requesting information on legislative rules, agency adjudications, enforcement actions, and agency guidance documents.
      • The House will continue to take actions to reassert our Article I responsibilities and reign in the vast, out-of-control administrative state.
    • Biden Impeachment Inquiry:
      • Influence Peddling:
      • Classified Documents and Pursuit of Biden Recordings:
        • In February, the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees subpoenaed Attorney General Merrick Garland for records, including transcripts, notes, video, and audio files, related to Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation of President Joe Biden’s willful mishandling of classified information, after Hur declined to recommend charges against Biden citing his memory problems.
        • Attorney General Garland refused to produce the audio recordings of Special Counsel Hur’s interviews with President Biden and his ghostwriter. On June 12, 2024, The House voted to hold Attorney General Garland in contempt for failing to comply with the subpoena; and on July 2, 2024, the House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit in D.C. federal court to obtain these recordings.
        • The House is committed to obtaining this highly material evidence in its investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.
