We're not even supposed to have a break in August if we have not passed the appropriations bills. It's in the House rules.

There are amendments never offered, there are bills never heard, that are basically killed because of the process.

Two kids, a house and bills, you know,

I will say this: I've had more pro-life bills, I believe, I ruled unconstitutional - but I tried - than the entire total membership of Congress together.

I changed that system in Florida when I was the Speaker of the House - I was the Minority Leader; I saw for 16 years the way a power system works.

The process for producing public policy in Congress is flawed. The process itself kills policy ideas through the bypassing of the rules and procedural decisions that limit discussion.
