Overturn it in evanwell. Proceedings at a later time. The plaintiffs wanted Apportionment Based on the mr. Speaker, i move to suspend voting age population and what the rules. They were asking tore. Even though it deals with state the clerk h. R. 8289 a bill to extend operations for the apportionment, the rationment to Airport Improvement Program to federal apportionment as well. Extend the funding and expenditure of the airport and Justice Ginsburg turned on the idea that voting require is not air quey trust fund and for other purposes. Pursuant to the rule the required. But she also lays out that gentleman from missouri, mr. Graves and the gentleman neither is the total population from washington, mr. Larsen, metric that is implied by these each will control 20 minutes. People on the other side of the dpraifs graves i ask members may aisle isnt required. Have five legislative days to ginsburg referred to burns v. Insert extraneous material. Richardson and held that districts may be held on voter the speaker pro tempore without objection without objection. Ell i believe populations, that the gentleman is recognized mr. Graves this extends the is permissible. In the burns case, gives the example of hawaii which could justify its use of apportionment because of the large number of transits and military personnel and it had. Continued collection of excise and using registered voters was dakotases and safe operation of the airspace it largely need permissible because of the conditions hawaii found itself. Todd accommodate the senates what has happened since inability to pass the conference f. A. A. Bill in time for the now whats happened since then . House to take a final vote on whats happens since then, is the administration j. A. T. Admits friday. Or before friday. The house did its part to 9. 2 million ail generals have provide for longterm come in, and they know theres reauthorization on time and well ahead of schedule when we another 2 million known passed h. R. 3935 last summer and overwhelming bipartisan fashion gotaways. Thats 11 million people. With more than 350 votes. Thats distorted the population it is unfortunate that the and skewed the one person, one senate process for considering vote which is the kay nonupon its f. A. A. Bill continues to be which the commerce the canon plagued by delays. Upon which the commerce case was i know my colleagues in the house are ready to send the bill founded. One person, one vote rule. Once and for all and the good but they are our colleagues news is we are so close to doing on the other side dont want to acknowledge that theres a that so close. Constitutional basis as i just setting aside the senates cited to allow Section Three to ability to act, the stark go forward. Reality is that the f. A. A. Is but they are perfectly content set to expire on may 10 and we with california which is a sanctuary state, hauling in must pass another extension to people. They are perfectly content with maintain safety. The senate and house have worked new york bringing in people through sanctuary policies or tirelessly since the senate marked its f. A. A. Bill up in illinois. That skews exactly what the february and worked to reconcile founders intended to make and produce an f. A. A. Bill that straight and clear. So lets go to the 14th amendment for just one second to provides certainty to the agency and the entire aviation actually read the second part of the 14th amendment or get to community for the next five that. Im not going to read it. Years. It provides the longterm but the first clause, thats certainty necessary to ensure what my colleague across the the safe and prosperity aisle, thats what hes reride on exclusively. He didnt bother to tell you safety and prosperity the that the second clause, in the american aviation for decades to second clause itself, it deals with every federal election and come. Extensions dont provide any every state election for state certainty, nor do they provide for robust investments that governor, judicial body, the state legislatures. Airports need to ensure the and what they do there in the continued transportation of second clause of the 14th goods and services to our amendment, they provide a way communities. For those reasons, both chambers that you reduce apportionment remain committed to passing a with those individuals maybe disqualified. Longterm bill. Thats what were saying here. Thats why this bill needs to this extension buys the senate a pass. I urge passage, mr. Chairman, little more time to do their job thank you, i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the while keeping the airways safe gentleman yields back. All time for debate has expired. And dont get a tax break and the previous question is ordered on the bill as amended. Encourage all members to support pursuant to clause 1c of rule this extension so we can consider the conference bill next week. 19, further continuation is with that, i urge support and postponed. Proceedings will resume on reserve. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves the balance questions previously postponed. Of his time. The gentleman from washington is recognized. Votes will be taken in the following order. Mr. Larsen i rise in support the motion to suspend the rules which extends the authorization and pass h. R. 8289. And related authorities for one passage of house joint week, one week to give the resolution 109. Senate the time to wrap up its the motion to recommit h. R. Consideration for bicameral, 2925.

Agreement between the house and passage of h. R. 7109, if the senate and will protect the ordered. And motions to suspend the rules safety of the flying public. With respect to s. 70 and h. R. Think back to last july when the house passed its version of this bill, 35169 arbitration strong 4143. The first electronic vote will be conducted as a 15minute bipartisan bill. Vote. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule 20, since then i am pleased with the progress we have made and able remaining electronic votes will so come to an agreement with be conducted as fiveminute Senate Counterparts last sunday votes. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, and we have been in close the Unfinished Business is the contact with the senate as they vote on the motion of the continue to consider this gentleman from missouri, legislation. Mr. Graves, to suspend the rules and pass h. R. 8289, on which the this is next week a bipartisan, yeas and nays were ordered. Bicameral product and members the clerk will report the title. Shouldnt be surprised. The clerk h. R. 8289, bill to the senate is working through its process and will not send us extend authorizations for the Airport Improvement Program to extend the funding and its the bill before the current authorization expires on Signature Authority at the airport and Airway Trust Fund friday. Chairman graves have fought hard and for other purposes. For house member priorities and the speaker pro tempore the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the am pleased to report that the bill. Members will record their votes vast majority of those by electronic device. This is a 15minute vote. Priorities remain intact in the final package. [captioning made possible by the national captioning institute, we worked hard to address the inc. , in cooperation with the United States house of representatives. Any use of the closedcaptioned longstanding issues in our coverage of the house proceedings for political or commercial purposes is expressly prohibited by the u. S. House of aviation system. Representatives. ] the senate fleedz a little bit more time and i expect the senate to send the f. A. A. Reauthorization to the house well before may 17 and the time in which this authorize ietion, this extension expires. With that, i support the shortterm extension and urge my colleagues to do the same andry reserve. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from missouri is recognized. Mr. Graves i am prepared to close. I reserve. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves. The gentleman from washington is recognized. Mr. Larsen just new and persistent challenges made clear the status quo is unsustainable and avoid the lapse in authorities. The current extension does that for one week and gives the senate the short time it needs to deliberate in the final bill. I support this extension and urge my colleagues to do the same and yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time the gentleman from missouri is recognized. Mr. Graves again, i urge all members to support this mustpass bill so we keep focusing on passing a longterm bill. It provides for clean extension of f. A. A. s authority clean extension and does not include policy riders. Failure will cost the federal government more than 50 million in lost revenues enacting a longterm and comprehensive bill is the goal of both the house and the senate and i look forward to presenting that critical piece of legislation to you next week. With that, mr. Speaker, i urge support of this bill and i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time the question is will the house success pipped the rules and pass the bill h. R. 8289. Those in favor, say aye. Those opposed, no. In the opinion of the chair, 2 3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed and without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. Mr. Graves i ask for the yeas and nays. The speaker pro tempore the yeas and nays are requested. Those in favor will rise and remain standing until counted. A sufficient number having arisen, yeas and nays are ordered pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings on this question will be postponed. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from arizona seek recognition . Mr. Biggs pursuant to House Resolution 1194 i call up the equal representation act and ask for its immediate consideration. The clerk h. R. 7109 a bill to require a Citizenship Question on the december sennial census and to modify a portionment of representatives to be based on United States citizens instead of all persons pursuant to House Resolution 1194 the amendment in the fate of and are printed in the bill is adopted and bill as adopted is considered read. It shall be debatable equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member or respective designees. The gentleman from arizona, mr. Biggs, and the gentleman from arizona each will control 30 minutes. Mr. Biggs i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the measure under consideration. The speaker pro tempore without objection, so ordered mr. Biggs i yield myself such time as i may consume. H. R. 7109 has three components and requires the Citizenship Question of the questionnaire. Number two, the bill directs this information to be used to ensure fair representation by requiring citizens in the Apportionment Base and number three the severe built close. The noncitizen population using Data Collected annually and we are going to call that a. C. S. As i go. That data is not necessarily accurate. Further, there are no reports that asking a Citizenship Question on the a. C. S. Suppresses partisan participation. And this is to apportion electoral districts for congress. And Congress Versus new york, a host of various questions over the years that had been included in the creance successes. And health, education, occupation, housing, military, radio ownership, age of first marriage, native tongue, et cetera. The Citizenship Question is no stranger. Congress noted every census with the exception of 1840 asked at least some of the population of tear citizenship or place of birth. 1920 and 1950 the question was asked of all households and asked of one fourth to one sixth of the population. And this isnt a uniquely american practice. Even the United Nations recommends collecting citizenship information via a census as noted by the Commerce Court. Australia, canada, france, ireland, germany, mexico, spain and the un United Kingdom ask about citizenship. Is the United States to be the only north American Country not to be questioned. The Commerce Court held that the citizenship as follows. Quote, in light of the early understanding of and long practice under the enumerations clause we conclude that it permits congress and by extension the secretary of commerce to inquire about citizenship on the questionnaire. Section 2 of h. R. 7109 asks whether a person is a citizen of the United States. Yes or no. Thats it. But everyone gets counted. With that, i reserve. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from arizona reserves. The gentleman from maryland is recognized. Mr. Raskin i yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized mr. Raskin thank you members of the committee. The last president tried to include a Citizenship Question on the creance success in census in 20 and the effort failed miss ranly in court. Section 2 of the 14th amendment apportionment of seats is based on accounts of quote, the whole number of persons in each state, unquote. Persons being the all encompassing category much larger than that of citizens. When the framers wanted to impose citizenship requirement in the text of the constitution, they knew how to do it, take the president of the United States, for example. It says you have to be a born u. S. Citizen to run for president. Some historians say thats because Thomas Jefferson was trying to block Alexander Hamilton from running for president , as he was foreign born. In any event it was clear you needed to be a born u. S. Citizen to run for president. For those of us in the house, we must have been a citizen for seven years. There are lots of citizenship requirements in the constitution. Theres no citizenship requirement for being counted in the census and for purposes of reapportionment. On the contrary, the census and reapportionment have included all persons, including noncitizens, like permanent resident green cardholders, since 1790, thats been the unbroken practice since the beginning of the republic. And this point was made even more clearly and emphatically by the Supreme Court in its unanimous 2016 decision in evan well vs. Abbott, rejecting precisely the argument my distinguished friend is trying to make. Like this decision, evanwell involved a challenge to congressional Apportionment Based on total count of the entire population instead of limited count of the total citizen or voter population. Justice ginsburg held for Unanimous Court that section 3 of the 14th amendment, quote, retained total population as the con gretion Apportionment Base. She cited the speech made on this floor by or rather on the floor of the senate by senator jacob howard, upon introduction of section 2 of the 14th amendment. Quote, the basis of representation is numbers. The committee adopted numbers as the most just and satisfactory basis and this is the principle upon which the constitution itself was originally framed, that the basis of representation should depend upon numbers. And such, i think, after all is the safest and most secure principle upon which the government can rest. Number, not voters. Number, not property. This is the theory of the constitution. My colleague needs to remember that when the republican was when the republic was founded, the vast majority of people were not citizens who could vote. Women could not vote. Children could not vote. Enslaved americans obviously could not vote. So the census and apportionment was for everybody who was here. That was the whole bay sthoifs threefifths compromise. Because enslaved americans were being counted too, what percentage should they count for purposes of reapportionment, congress arrived at 60 . Threefifths. Southern states said they should count completely because they wanted enslaved americans to inflate the southern state. Northern states said no, they should count zero percent. But they arrived at threefifths. But everybody agreed that everybody would be counted. Justice ginsburg included lots of decisive legislative Authority Like this, including the floor statement here in the house of representatives of representative james blaine who stated, quote, no one will deny that population is the true basis of representation. For women, children, and other nonvoting classes may have as vital an interest in the legislation oh legislation of the country as those who deposit the ballot. For all of you constitutional textualists out there, the plain reading of the text is clear as day. For all you originalists out there the original purposes of the passage of the 14th amendment have been carefully articulated by the Supreme Court on a unanimous basis and never rebutted. For all of you members who like to follow precedent, every apportionment since 1790 has included every Single Person residing in the United States, not just those lucky enough to have been given the right to vote. As the evanwell court noted, the 14th amendment contemplates that, quote, representatives serve all residents, not just those eligible to vote. The constitutional meaning is indisputable, a point which settles this for those who actually want to follow the constitution. In all cases. Not just when it favor ours own preferred pol
