Rand And Ron Paul Make Congressional History
KENTUCKY....
Wednesday, U.S. Representative Ron Paul stood in the back of the Senate chamber with a smile as he watched Vice President Joe Biden administer the oath of office and make his son, Rand Paul, the new junior senator from Kentucky. Ron Paul, R-Texas, was sworn in a few hours later for a 12th two-year term in the House of Representatives. The swearing-in of each of the Pauls marks the first time in congressional history when a child will serve in the Senate while the parent simultaneously serves in the House. Rand Paul, who says the debt problem is enormous, fired a warning shot at his own party in a television interview, saying that Republicans better not renege on their promise to implement $100 billion in spending cuts within a year of taking control of the House. Paul vows to keep his promises to Kentucky.
