Ite knock surprised and certainly not offended. The speaker has ratcheted up his requirement or expectation of the president. He has not yet come forth with a definitive request for statutory authorization, and i think thats a clear difference and something i hope the speaker really insists on. We are the 140 members you mentioned, including 21 of my democratic colleague
Regional title. Ecowas has done a bunch of stuff in west africa that doesnt necessarily make International News but its important. They hold those kind of Community Building contests of various kinds. Theyve built highways. At one point they developed regional travelers checks that you could use in all of the member countries in west africa. They also have an army and they dont use it all that much.
