Mr. Speaker, Claims · 22 wordsI rise today to recognize September 1 as Constitution Day of the Slovak Republic, commemorating the adoption of Slovakia’s Constitution in 1992.¹ Reasoning · 35 wordsA constitution is more than a legal document. It is a people’s decision to govern themselves under law and to place limits on the power of government. That principle has a particular meaning in Slovakia. Claims · 57 wordsFollowing decades of Communist rule, the Slovak people helped build a free, democratic republic grounded in constitutional government and in the rule of law. Today, Slovakia is a friend and NATO ally of the United States.² Our Nations share strong ties in security, trade, energy, and diplomacy. Generations of Slovak Americans have made that friendship deeper still. Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 21 wordson Constitution Day, I congratulate the Slovak people and celebrate the freedom, self-government, and enduring friendship that bind our two nations.Thanks
