Take Care Act
Jun 7, 2019
Before he was elected, President Trump was famous for the catch-phrase “you’re fired,” which he popularized on his reality T.V. show “The Apprentice.” And it’s no surprise that it would have so much appeal for a television audience.
It carries a certain power and resonance because the person who has the authority to use it within an organization is, generally speaking, the person who gets to call the shots. It is emblematic of executive control and the ability to get things done. It is the ultimate and essential backstop that enforces and reifies an executive’s power to make decisions.

There are many pressing issues today that deserve our attention – so many, in fact, that it can sometimes be difficult to keep them straight.

Mr./Madam President:
President Trump was famous for many things even before he was elected.

Sens. Lee and Hawley Introduce the Take Care Act
Jun 5, 2019
WASHINGTON – Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) introduced the Take Care Act Wednesday, a bill designed to promote accountability and effective administration by restoring the original understanding of the President’s constitutional power to remove his subordinates.
“For nearly 150 years after the Founding, it was well-established that Article II of the Constitution gave the President complete power to remove upper-level executive branch officers,” Sen Lee said. “But following the Supreme Court’s deeply flawed decision in Humphrey’s Executor, Congress has, since the New Deal era, gradually created an immense, headless fourth branch of government that is outside the President’s control and thus totally unaccountable to the American People. It’s time for a course correction.”

Government Spectrum Valuation Act
May 24, 2019
Everyone is aware of how the modern world’s technology has transformed our daily lives in countless ways over the past decades. But most of the time, we don’t think about what is needed to operate that technology: the radio frequency spectrum.
Cell phones, television, radio systems, and a myriad of other technologies function based on this part of the electromagnetic spectrum. And as technology continues to evolve, the radio frequency spectrum is becoming increasingly in demand and increasingly congested.
