Rogers was re-elected to a third term Tuesday after running unopposed.

Another potential candidate for defense secretary is Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., a retired Green Beret. In addition to serving in the military before joining Congress, Waltz was an adviser to defense secretaries Robert Gates and Donald Rumsfeld and spent time in the private sector as CEO of defense contractor Metis Solutions.


He sits on the House Armed Services and Intelligence committees, in addition to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Replacing a House member, even one from a district that heavily favors one party or the other, generally takes at least several weeks. Republican leaders have already signaled they would not want to waste any time in using their majorities in Congress to forward Trump’s agenda.

Trump Plans To Withdraw US From Paris Climate Pact, Open Some National Monuments To Drilling: report​


Nov 8 – U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has prepared executive orders and proclamations on withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement and shrinking the size of some national monuments to allow more drilling and mining, the New York Times reported on Friday.

Trump is also expected to end the pause on permitting new liquefied natural gas exports to big markets in Asia and Europe and revoke a waiver that allows California and other states to have tighter pollution standards, according to the report.

Trump promised during his campaign to take many of the actions listed in the report. Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for the Trump transition team, said in a response to a Reuters request that the results of Tuesday’s election gave him a “mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail. He will deliver.”

At the end of the day I don't think the 14th is as clear cut as we think.

Now, ideally we'd get an amendment to the Constitution to fix this stuff, but it is an issue that needs fixing and I don't think the rules around it are that plain.

I always chuckle at the stream of comments that are posted on this forum suggesting we need a constitutional amendment for everything. 1) No we don’t. The laws, as written, suffice. 2) These comments completely ignore the process of amending the constitution and the fact that it would never happen in today’s political environment.

We have entirely too many laws that are IMO contrary to the constitution and people just shrug and say “it’s too hard to do it the right way”.

Completely agree
If it’s too hard to do the job then get out of the way and make room for someone who can.

I don't think it will happen either. It's an absolute ideal that we put an amendment together that bars birthright citizenship and leaves no question. As it is now, it appears we have space to operate to bar it, but something absolutely definitive that could never be questioned would be better.

Here’s the thing, if something so embedded into our national fabric and constitution like birthright citizenship can be done away with simple legislation how are you going to fight them doing the same to the 2A?

Well, we haven't. The 2A says shall not be infringed, and it has certainly been greatly infringed. Same with the 1A and hate speech. Same with lots of things. It isn't easy. The line should have been drawn long ago.

Too many ingredients. That's some science right there, folks.

US Fruit loops is full of toxic dyes such Red 40, Yellow 5/6, and Blue 1. The Canadian version uses natural juices for food coloring. That's what he's talking about.

It sure seems like someone doesn't read the ingredients labels before ingesting store-bought food.
