In considering that ms. Cobbhunter i have to consider the entirety of the amendment. And the entirety of the amendment with a little section added in. I dont think i can rule outside the scope of the resolution. If there were separate questions before me, then may i ask you a question im sorry i didnt want to interrupt. Im going to overrule that point of order. Did you have another one . I have a couple more but im going to yield to my colleague mr. Smith, as i read through this once more. There are at least two, perhaps three more points of order that i think are pertinent here. If you would would the chair allow peame to consult with my attorney . No, maam.

But the reason i want to consult with mr. Smith is because im not an attorney and i really dont know the law. And i want to not waste your time. So i want to make sure. Be
Ready for this post, saying it will be the president s number one foreignpolicy achievement. But it said the white house remains confident that if Congress Rejects the deal, the president could be to the action and continue to move forward. That is what i was talking about. It would require 34 votes for him to go forward. Is he getting that . I think it is going to be a hard sell.

Which is what i was referring to earlier. I think it is going to be a hard sell. A hard sell. Cspan gives you the best access to congress. Live coverage of the u. S.

Prompting a vicious selloff in the final minutes of trading. The morning started out much different. The opening bell rang and stocks took off. The Dow Jones Industrial average soaring as much as 440 points, staying elevated for much of the day, thanks to a cut in Interest Rates by the chinese government. But by late this afternoon, investors appeared less convi e convinced and the selling intensified, losing about 500 points in the final hour of trading. By the close, the blue chip dow index finished lower to 15,666. The nasdaq was off 19, and the s p 500 fell 25. The reversal in the dow and the s p was the biggest to the downside since the heart of the financial crisis. Bob has more on the rally that wasnt and why the bulls just couldnt hang on. We had a rally at the open, but stocks lost steam midday and gains were wiped out in the last hour, so whats the problem . There was a nice rally at the open, but the buyers were never very enthusiastic. Volume was much lighter than yesterday
