Speaker. that. if we dont change it. the people of this country are going to become so wearied of this process. so convinced that we will remain in gridlock forever. that they will simply wash their hands of the American Government. If they do that. then the Founding Fathers dream itself could die in this generation. It must not be allowed to happen. To put this in practical terms.

That bill then went over to the Senate. fully funding the Department of Homeland Security. Democrats in the Senate said: No.
