Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi held her weekly press conference today in the Capitol Visitor Center. Below are the Speaker's remarks:
Speaker Pelosi. Good morning. Good morning.
As we speak, we're on the Floor overturning the Authorization for the Use of Military Force that is twenty years old, ten years after we withdrew from Iraq, but not negating our ability to protect and defend our troops, who may still be there, and the American people.
As we come together now, we are, of course, happy with the Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act. I think it's really important to note this historic decision. Once again, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act and the transformational protections that it provides every American, no matter where they get their coverage.
