uniform to the veterans administration is as seamless as possible and i think we owe them that. one last question general. your predecessor, general dempsey, stated repeatedly, and i am quoting we have the capability to use a military option if the iranians choose to stray off the diplomatic path end quote. my question to you is are you satisfied our nation has done enough to prepare militarily for the option and the president has said all options should be on the table if necessary to use a military option there as much as we all may wish that the negotiations should succeed. senator, my understanding today is that we have both the plans in place and the capability in place to deal with a wide range of things in iran. thank you very much. thank you, mr. chairman and general. congratulations on your nomination and thank you for your 38 years of distinguished service and your leadership. our nation is fortunate to have a military leader such as you serving at a t ....
justice? this was interesting. obama has gotten attention for his comments on court cases particularly before they re decided, as well as after where i think it s perhaps a bit more typical for president to speak after decisions are made. but it did seem interesting that i mean he actually went as far to criticize the cert stage when he said the court shouldn t have even taken the case. so it was interesting. and just by coincidence i happen to have sitting in my inbox a study of presidential comments on pending supreme court cases since 1954. looking at this study and seeing how really rare it was, although not completely unheard of for president to comment when they had cases of which they took some interest before the supreme court, i don t think it is going to be a very typical thing. i think this as one factor that the study itself observed, presidents most likely to comment on pending cases tend to be lawyering who think they know a lot about the law and are ....
forward 12 months or longer for potential restructuring, maybe not a specific path. the ccc and we see a likely default within 12 months to six months, particularly with some of the governor s comments in puerto rico yesterday. we believe that there will be some sort of restructuring within the next six months that s nearly inevitable. so i guess i can slip pretty quickly through the slide or the ccc+ and instead i will read a little bit come a couple of the bullet points from our release that actually came out this morning. so basically we feel that the default, redemption of the commonwealth of that is inevitable in the next six months absent something anticipated. we believe that the report that came out yesterday or was released yesterday, was commissioned by puerto rico, people refer to it as the cook report, but it packs a does kruger report. but it does have a formal title. the embrace of that by the devastation in puerto rico indicates in our view that they ....
since 2007 and be under the age of 16 when you came, but you had to be in school, you had to have graduated from high school, you had to have attained a general education development certificate or be an honorably discharged veteran of the coast guard or the united states army. you can t do all that, unless you were here before 2007. so without objection, i ll include the homeland securities development for deferred action in the list of items. let me ask you, is it not true that president obama has deported more migrants than any president in u.s. history? that is correct, mr. chairman. as a matter of fact, some have called him the deporter in chief. now, it seems to me that congress has failed to act in its reform of the immigration system. in the absence of that system, what has been congress successful role is to dramatically increase border customs enforcement to the point where we have had the most deportations than at any other time. let me ask two final que ....
washington is consumed by two major fiscal debates, and today president obama called on congress to get its act together. congress can do what is in the best interest of the economy and the american people, and that s move beyond this manufactured crisis and work together to focus on growth, jobs, and providing the vital services that americans all across the country depend on. the president s remarks come as the house got back to work this morning and the senate followed suit. these congressional leaders have a lot on their plates, but very little is being done about it. mike in his remarks today the president seemed to be pushing back against those who say he is not negotiating during the stalemate. well, you said the house and senate are going back to work this morning. i guess that depends on how you define getting back to work. it s clear that at least publicly these two sides have hardened their positions, there is not a much of a glimmer of hope that the sh ....
