# Ray v. Blair

Ray v. Blair, 343 U.S. 214 (1952), is a major decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. It was a case on state political parties requiring of presidential electors to pledge to vote for the party's nominees before being certified as electors. It ruled that it is constitutional for states to allow parties to require such a pledge of their elector candidates, and that it was not a breach of a qualified candidate's rights to be denied this position if they refused the pledge. It officially defined state electors as representatives of their respective states, not the federal government. Therefore, state electors could be held accountable by their state if they did not vote as instructed. The case was argued on March 31, 1952 and decided on April 3, 1952.

# Remarks by President Biden Before Marine One Departure

Delivered 2021-03-26
South Lawn
2:59 P.M. EDT

## Q Have you invited President Xi and Putin to the climate summit?

    THE PRESIDENT: I haven’t yet, but they know they’re invited. But I haven’t invited — I haven’t spoken to either one of them yet individually.I just got off the phone speaking with the British Prime Minister. And yesterday, I spoke with all the members of the EU. So — but I haven’t spoken to those two.

## Q Can you comment on the new Georgia election law, Mr. President?

    THE PRESIDENT: Say again?

## Q The new Georgia election law.

    THE PRESIDENT: It’s an atrocity. The idea — if you want any indication that it has nothing to do with fairness, nothing to do with decency — they passed a law saying you can’t provide water for people standing in line while they’re waiting to vote. You don’t need anything else to know that this is nothing but punitive design to keep people from voting. You can’t provide water for people about to vote? Give me a break.

# Remarks by President Biden Before Economic Briefing with Treasury Secretary Yellen

Delivered 2021-03-05
Roosevelt Room
2:25 P.M. EST

## THE PRESIDENT: Welcome, folks. Can you hear me in my mask?

    Q Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: All right. We’re about to have an economic meeting, but I want to make a few very brief comments.
Today’s jobs report shows that the American Rescue Plan is urgently needed, in our view.
Now, our economy still has 9.5 million fewer jobs than it had this time last year. And at that rate, it would take two years to get us back on track. We have 1 million fewer educators — 1 million fewer educators — than we did this time last year. We’ve lost 400,000 small businesses. All of those empty storefronts aren’t just shattered dreams, they’re warning lights that are going off and state and local budgets that are being stretched because of the lack of tax revenue.
And some of last month’s job growth is a result of the December relief package. But without a rescue plan, these gains are going to slow. We can’t afford one step forward and two steps backwards. We need to beat the virus, provide essential relief, and build an inclusive recovery.
People need the help now. In less than two weeks, enhanced unemployment benefits will begin to expire for 11 million people. At least 7 million kids don’t have enough food to eat on a regular basis. Thirteen million people are behind in their rent.
And the rescue plan is absolutely essential for turning this around, getting kids back to school safely, getting a lifeline to small business, and getting the upper hand on COVID-19. That’s what we’re going to be talking about now.
So I thank you all for coming on in. Thank you.

# Remarks by President Biden Before Air Force One Departure

## Q Have you made a final decision on how you’re going to approach your legislative agenda? Is it going to be one bill, or are you going to split it up into multiple bills?

    THE PRESIDENT: I have, but I ain’t telling you. (Laughs.)

## Q Any reaction to what happened in Myanmar?

    THE PRESIDENT: It’s terrible. It’s absolutely outrageous. And based on the reporting I’ve gotten, an awful lot of people have been killed totally unnecessarily.

## Q Senator Chris Murphy said today that he thinks there’s a chance to get 60 votes for a background check proposal. Are you prepared to make calls to Republicans to try to get it over the finish line?

    THE PRESIDENT: Sure, I am. Of course, I am. I’m the only one that’s ever gotten it passed, man. Everybody keeps wondering whether I cared about dealing with rational gun control. The only gun control legislation ever passed was mine. It’s going to happen again.

## Q Mr. President, how close are you to naming a national cyber director?

    THE PRESIDENT: Close.

## Q Within days, sir?

    THE PRESIDENT: Close.

## Q (Inaudible) COVID cases are going up. What’s going wrong in America?

    THE PRESIDENT: Well, based on what I’m hearing, apparently people are letting their guard down. But I have — I’m having a meeting with the team tomorrow, and I’ll get a better sense.

## Q Mr. President, what have you given up for Lent?

    THE PRESIDENT: I gave up all sweets for Lent. You have no idea how hard it is for me.

## Q What’s the first sweet you’re looking forward to having when it’s over?

    THE PRESIDENT: Ice cream.

## Q What are you going to do to sanction Myanmar? What is the plan here for the U.S. reaction to what is going on?

    THE PRESIDENT: Well, we’re working on that now.

## Q Mr. President, we’ve seen Republican senators at the border. Former President Trump said he’s been asked by some Border Patrol agents to go to the border. Do you think that would be productive? And when — any timetable on when you might go?

    THE PRESIDENT: We are putting in place a plan that I feel very confident about, and I don’t care what the other guy does.Thank you.

## Q How concerning is the emerging partnership between China and Iran?

    THE PRESIDENT: Been concerned about that for years.

6:34 P.M. EDT

## Q Were you getting a briefing, Mr. President?

    THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, I was.

## Q Can you share what’s going on?

    THE PRESIDENT: It was a foreign policy issue.

## Q Mr. President, a couple of Asian American senators have threatened to veto your — your nominees if you don’t nominate diverse candidates. Have you spoken to them?

    THE PRESIDENT: Well, I don’t know what you’re —

## Q An Asian American in your Cabinet, sir, is what they’re asking for.

    THE PRESIDENT: We — we have the most diverse Cabinet in history. We have a lot of Asian Americans who are in the Cabinet and sub-Cabinet levels. Our Cabinet is formed.

## Q Mr. President, are you concerned that the administration’s statements that the border is closed but children will be cared for is a mixed message?

    THE PRESIDENT: I’ll have more to say about that in the next couple of days. The key here relates to what’s happening in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. And the last administration dismantled all we had put in place, relative to dealing with the problems in country. And we’ll have something to say about that very shortly.

## Q Is Ambassador Jacobson — is she trying to get some concessions from Guatemala and El Salvador?

    THE PRESIDENT: I’ll more to say about that tomorrow and the next day.

## Q Could you tell you us about North Korea and firing of the rockets — what you’ve learned?

    THE PRESIDENT: We have learned that there is nothing much has changed.
Thank you.

# Remarks by President Biden Before Meeting with Bipartisan Group of Governors and Mayors to Discuss the Vital Need to Pass the American Rescue Plan

Delivered 2021-02-12
Oval Office
11:44 A.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. Thanks for coming in. I’m fortunate to have today a group of leading governors and mayors of both political parties to talk about the COVID plan that we’ve put forward, and their needs and their ideas and their recommendations on how to proceed.
And the American Rescue Plan is — has multiple pieces. The most important piece, in my view, is making sure we give them enough capacity to deal with the virus in their states and how we’re going to do that.
But equally consequential is the need to help the states economically, in terms of everything from unemployment to being able to make sure that they’re able to get kids back in schools and what role the federal government should play in helping getting that done.
And, you know, if — these folks are all on the frontlines. They’ve been dealing with this crisis from day one. It’s — I’m not making a political statement; it just it’s taken a while to adjust. They’ve been left on their own, in many cases.
I think some have found what I found when I got here: that what we thought was available, in terms of everything from vaccine to vaccinators, was not the case.
So I thank them for the work they did in their cities and their states in order to respond to the crisis. But I think it’s — and I’ve said it plainly when I was running and as President — that I think the federal government has a major role to play here. But these are the folks that are on the ground dealing with it every single solitary day. And they see the pain, and they see the successes when they occur.
And what I really want to know about is what should that — the recovery plan — should we have more or less of anything in it; what do they think they need most; how to proceed. Because as I’ve said before, you know, governors and mayors — that’s a real job.
I was a senator for years. I got in a train every day and came to Washington, D.C., and I’d get asked questions by the conductors and the shoeshine guys and the ticket masters and — but every single day, these folks are home. Every single day, they’re meeting with their constituents.
We’re down here in Washington, and we meet with them. I don’t mean to belittle them at all, but it’s not the same as being on the ground. And so whenever I want to know what’s really happening, I want to talk — and I’m not being solicitous — to governors and mayors.
And so thank you for being here. And that’s what we’re going to be doing today. Thank you all.

# Remarks by President Biden Before Meeting with Bipartisan Group of Members of Congress to Discuss Historic Investments in the American Jobs Plan

Delivered 2021-04-19. Cf. Readout of Oval Office Meeting with Bipartisan, Bicameral Members of Congress.
Oval Office
1:36 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thanks for coming in, guys. I want to thank my colleagues — they’re still my colleagues; I’m more of a member of Congress than I’ve been here. And — but I’m glad you all came down.
We’re going to talk about our infrastructure package. And as I indicated earlier, I am prepared to compromise, prepared to see what we can do and what we can get together on. It’s a big package, but there’s a lot of needs.
And so we’re going to be talking about, number one, what should be included in the package — obviously, I put a lot in the package; I think it all should be included — and how to pay for it. And there are two issues.
I’ve noticed everybody is for infrastructure. The question is: Who’s going to pay for it? And — and that’s what we’re going to try to work out today, at least in this bipartisan group of members of the House and Senate.
And a little — a little secret here, we’re going to — in full disclosure, I asked senators and congressmen who had either been governors or mayors because they know what it’s like to make things work, to make sure that you get things done and deal with infrastructure and the needs of your community.
So that’s why we’re here. We — hopefully, we’ll be able to reach some kind of consensus, at least in broad terms.
So thank you all for coming in. And we’ll be talking to you later.

## Q Mr. President, what do you think about the idea of paying for it with user fees?

    THE PRESIDENT: That’s what we’re going to talk about. We’re going to talk about all that right now.
Thank you very much. Thank you.

# Remarks by President Biden Before Meeting with House Democratic Leaders Working on the American Rescue Plan

Delivered 2021-02-05
Oval Office
10:04 AM
THE PRESIDENT: We’re going to be talking about the recovery package, but we saw the jobs report that only 6,000 private sector jobs have been created. And at that rate, it’s going to take 10 years before we get to full employment. That’s not — that’s not hyperbole; that’s a fact. We’re going to be in a situation where it’ll take a long, long time.
And I appreciate you all coming over because — and the urgency with which you’re moving — this is about people’s lives. This is not just about numbers; this is about people’s lives. People are — I don’t have to tell any of you, they’re really hurting. People are being evicted.
Just look at all the number of people who are needing and seeking mental health services now. Suicide is up. People are very — really, really — drug abuse, violence against women. People are really feeling the hole. They don’t know how to get out. You’ve given them a lot of hope — a lot of hope with the — as they say in southern Delaware: With the grace of God and the goodwill of the neighbor, with the crick not rising, we can really begin to do something consequentially.
So I want to thank you all. And what I — you know, President — President Obama put me in charge of the Recovery Act, and it was hard as hell to get the votes for it to begin with, and then it was hard as hell to get even the number we got. But one thing we learned is, you know, we can’t do too much here; we can do too little. We can do too little and sputter.
But again, the end result is, it’s not just the macroeconomic impact on the economy and our ability to compete internationally; it’s people’s lives. Real, live people are hurting, and we can fix it. And we can fix it. And the irony of all ironies is, when we help them, we are also helping our competitive capacity through the remainder of this decade. I mean, it’s real.
So we got a chance to do something big here. And I’m — and thank you for last night, yesterday, and what you’re going to be doing on this Recovery Act. And I can hardly wait to sit down with Peter DeFazio to work on infrastructure. (Laughter.) This is the next big piece.
So, thank you all for being here, and thank you for coming in. I appreciate it.
