Merry Christmas: A Message from Rob Wittman

Click here to                      visit my website

Peace on earth, good will towards men.

It is a phrase often used, but do we really understand what it means? To many of us, it is the message we inscribe in our holiday cards to friends and loved ones. The origin of this verse however, can be found not in the offices of Hallmark, but instead in the story of the birth of Christ.

The Christmas Miracle began when the angel Gabriel delivered to Mary the joyous news that a child would be born, and this child would be named Jesus. Though his life began in a simple manger in a stable, the Messiah would go on to change the world. Nearby, while shepherds tended their flocks in the night, an angel appeared. To them the angel said, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy…. Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace, good will towards men." 

It is this good will that we see around us every day. In the First District, many organizations are changing lives in our community by providing assistance in the form of food, clothing, child care, job training, and much more. Along with other Fredericksburg residents, I personally had the honor of laying handmade wreaths on veterans' graves to pay tribute to their service. During the Christmas season, it is important to remember the men and women of our armed forces who will not be home with their families, but instead, are working tirelessly to achieve peace on this earth. Though at times, especially now, we see both a nation and a world divided, we must always recognize the good will that surrounds us.

As another year closes, I come to you with good news that will cause great joy. A message of hope for the future: that our best and brightest days are ahead! Come let us adore Him on this Christmas Day, remembering what truly brings us all together: the joy brought by the birth of Christ and a renewed sense of hope. To our troops overseas, our men and women in uniform, and to you and your family, I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

The American Presidency and the Transfer of Power

Click here to                      visit my website

In the aftermath of the Revolutionary War and the adoption and ratification of the United States Constitution, there remained a heightened level of anxiety about the kind of power the President might wield. The nation—in its early infancy—needed an executive who was strong enough to protect the national interests, but not so strong that his rule was oppressive to the people (who had just come out from under the thumb of the tyrannical King George III). He had to be balanced, level-headed, and above all, humble. He had to exert his will, but not so far that he overpowered the will of the people, the bounds of the Constitution, or the role of the other branches of government.

Enter George Washington.

As our first President, it was Washington's responsibility to shape, in practical terms, what the American Presidency would be. Needless to say, he was a great success in that regard. He was bold, but he was trustworthy. He made the Constitution his guidebook. He refused to extend his reach beyond the bounds of our founding documents. He understood his own limitations, and was eager to seek the counsel of others, including—significantly—members of the legislative branch. When he retired from the Presidency, he attended the inauguration of his successor, President John Adams. It was the first successful transfer of power from one Administration to the next in the United States, and it displayed in full that the power was vested in the office, and not in the person holding the office.

During this past month, the people have chosen a new President, and they've given him new mandates and directives for what they'd like to see accomplished in these next four years. They've rejected the policies of the Obama Administration, and they've asked for new and markedly different leadership. They've said loud and clear that they're ready for change.

Unfortunately, a function of modern bureaucracy is a spike in regulatory rule-making that happens during any President's final year. These "midnight rules," as they're called, represent an insistence on the status quo by outgoing Administrations that are no longer accountable to the people. They entrench policies that the people have rejected at significant expense—in this instance, an estimated $13 billion—to taxpayers and to businesses.

The people have suffered enough under this President's regulatory agenda. That's why the House passed the Midnight Rules Relief Act (H.R. 5982) this week to deter lame-duck Presidents from pushing through last-minute regulations that fly in the faces of the American people. This legislation creates a rapid-response method for Congress to overturn an outgoing Presidential Administration's attempts to impose major regulations without the transparency and scrutiny expected in normal regulatory implementation. This bill specifically amends the Congressional Review Act to allow Congress to overturn multiple midnight rules in a fell swoop.

Washington's Presidency set the standard for an executive branch that is transparent and forthright with the people. We owe it to ourselves to protect that legacy. This legislation preserves the balance of power and limits any Administration's ability to force an agenda that the people have explicitly disapproved. I'm proud to support this piece of legislation and any piece of legislation that enhances accountability in Washington and protects the Constitution.
