King Statement on Constitution Day

Washington, DC- Congressman Steve King (R-IA) released the following statement to commemorate Constitution Day, marking the 225th year since the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America. King is a member of the House Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee and is never caught without a copy of the Constitution in his pocket.

"Today is a day for celebration and a day to remember the inspired document that governs our nation and embodies the principles that have made this nation great," said King. "At the start of every session of Congress since first being elected, I have placed my hand on the Bible and have taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution, and I take the responsibility very seriously. Our Founding Fathers knew what a tremendous threat large and overbearing government would place on individual liberties. This theme is woven into the Constitution like threads in an intricate and beautiful tapestry. The Constitution will endure and the people of this nation will flourish if we return to the values upheld in this document."
