Pelosi vows to 'restore civility to our debate'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Presumed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, vowed to bring civility to the chamber and serve both sides of the aisle, in remarks to new House members Monday evening.
"We will restore civility to our debate," Pelosi told the new members. "As Speaker it will be my solemn duty to serve not just one party, but the whole House of Representatives. To that end, we will restore bipartisanship to the administration of the House, re-establish regular order for considering legislation, and ensure the rights of the minority - whichever party is in the minority. The voice of every American has a right to be heard, and that is what the American people expect and deserve." -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney |
