A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ON HIS REELECTION TO THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Whereas, sworn in on January 20, 2009, after his first election in 2008, Barack Obama, forty-fourth President of the United States, was reelected to serve a second term during America's fifty-seventh quadrennial presidential election on November 6, 2012; and

Whereas, the 2012 election marked the first time since Franklin D. Roosevelt's reelections in 1940 and 1944 that a Democratic presidential candidate won an absolute majority of the popular vote in two consecutive elections; and

Whereas, among his many achievements, several stand as benchmarks of Barack Obama's administration, such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the end of the war in Iraq, and the drawdown of the war in Afghanistan; and

Whereas, Barack Obama finds strength for the accomplishment of his duties in the strong support of his family, First Lady Michelle Obama and his delightful daughters, Malia and Sasha; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives wish to tender to President Obama their best wishes for a successful second term, as well as their sincere prayers that he would be blessed with much wisdom in charting the course of this great country in the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate President Barack Obama on his reelection to the Presidency of the United States of America.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to President Barack Obama.
