Tonight, House Republicans met to ensure we don’t miss the significance of Speaker Boehner’s sacrifice and the opportunity to reflect on how we need to reorder ourselves to serve the American people most effectively.

“I invited all current and prospective leaders to present a written plan outlining how the House can assert itself through Article 1 of the Constitution.

“Our leaders will best serve our conference by bringing the fight to the Administration and not reverse engineering from failure.

“We will be most effective with a common understanding of what success looks like and with clear expectations for our leaders.

“I’m glad we started this important discussion, but we have more work to do.”
