Consistent with House Concurrent Resolution 276, I am hereby returning the enrolled bill H.R. 3765, "An Act to extend through December 31, 2007, the authority...
President Obama diminished the relevance of his office on Thursday with the stroke of a robotic pen. He became the first commander in chief to hand off bill-signing duties to a machine because he happened to be in France when the House gave final passage to a bill extending the Patriot Act just four hours before the midnight expiration date for several provisions. At 11:53 p.m., the White House press office released a statement claiming, "the president signed into law" the act. In reality, a device mimicked Mr. Obama's signature onto the enrolled bill. White House spokesman Nick Shapiro told The Washington Times that an autopen was used because "failure to sign this legislation posed a significant risk to U.S. national security." Mr. Shapiro said that an aide met with the president at 5...
William Mudd understood the value of a college education and for four years hitchhiked the 60-plus miles from his Camp Hill home to Dickinson College in Carlisle and back. When my father enrolled in Dickinson College under the GI Bill after his discharge from the Army in 1946, he was married and had my brother," said his son, Christopher Mudd of Worcester, Mass.
Educate children, teens about dating violence Gov. Bob McDonnell approved and signed SB 906 into law, effective July 1. Many have not heard of this bill since it was not controversial, but attention should still be given to a bill that affects children enrolled in Virginia's public school systems.

When Robert W. Miles received an honorable discharge from the Army in 1946, he took advantage of the GI Bill and chose the road to success through education. He enrolled at his hometown alma mater, Lexington's University of Kentucky, and received an undergraduate and master's degree in English. After graduation, he moved to New York to study at the Juilliard School of Music. He was worried that his parents wouldn't approve of the direction he was taking and remembers, "I wrote a letter to my parents telling them that I loved the liberal and stimulating atmosphere at Julliard and that I hoped that they weren't disappointed in my decision. At the time, I had aspirations of being a teacher, writing philosophical essays and traveling the globe, so I would have needed four lifetimes to do ev...
CALAIS, Maine -- Senior business faculty member Bill Case recognizes that the future for students enrolled in the business program at Washington County Community College is going to be the global economy. With Canada as the college's neighbor, Case sees the international border that Maine shares with New Brunswick as a working laboratory for students. He has thus introduced an International Commerce Business concentration as part of the college's curriculum.
House Republicans are calling on President Obama to re-sign the Patriot Act extension bill - this time, by hand. Last month, Mr. Obama became the first Oval Office occupant in history to delegate to a machine his constitutional responsibility of signing legislation because he happened to be in France when the bill was enrolled. On Friday, Rep. Tom Graves, Georgia Republican, and 20 other Republican members dispatched a letter asking Mr. Obama to put his John Hancock on the national-security law. The GOP congressmen think the use of an autopen risks opening courtroom challenges to the statute. "The president's casual approach to this fundamental duty has likely created a legal minefield for the Patriot Act," Mr. Graves told The Washington Times. "Setting the legal aspect aside for a mome...
Madison -- The words Frankenstein veto won't be on the April 1 ballot. That's just the sound-bite phrase used by legislators who want to limit the veto authority of Wisconsin governors. Those lawmakers want voters to approve the question on the ballot that asks whether the Wisconsin Constitution should "be amended to prohibit the governor, in exercising his or her partial veto authority, from creating a new sentence by combining parts of two or more sentences of the enrolled bill?
