Secondly. the TRIA. which is the Terrorist Risk Insurance Act. it too is sitting there without any action having been taken by the Republican majority of this Congress. It too has been reauthorized on several occasions. and it benefits this country in many ways and needs to be acted upon. But instead. the Republican majority has chosen to bring a lawsuit against the President of the United States. which has absolutely no merit. and has given their lawyers in the proposed legislation a blank check to sue the President when we have important legislation. whether it is the ExportImport Bank. terrorist risk insurance. looking at immigration issues. comprehensive immigration reform. transportation. we have many. many items that need to be addressed. But instead. we are going to take up litigation that is unheard of in the history of the United States against the President of the United States because he has taken actions when this Congress has sat silent. This bill. the Defense Production Act.
