Two federal lawmakers — one Democrat, one Republican — want Congress to reclaim power it’s ceded to the White House.
But first, they acknowledge, lawmakers must negotiate an end to the federal government shutdown, now in its 10th day.
Reps. Don Bacon, a Republican from Nebraska, and Jason Crow, a Democrat from Colorado — both military veterans who serve on the House Armed Services Committee together — made the remarks Friday during “Mapping the New Global Order,” a NOTUS event that also featured former senator and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.
