That evening, President Reagan gave an excellent speech from the Oval Office. I remember watching it and being mesmerized by President Reagan and his ability to connect with the common man and woman.
Senators, who are elected every four years, have more time to think through legislation and thus tend to slow down the pace of legislation as it passes through their chamber.
