Published | Video Starts at 00:37

After all, to enter the brand new Obama Presidential library, you are required to present a valid id. Id? I'm a mirror of Congress, and obviously this is my workplace. Before I arrived yesterday, I had to show an ID at the TSA line at the Louisville airport, then show an ID to check in a hotel, then show my ID to get through the barrier gate around the Capitol, and finally had to show my ID to enter the Rayburn office building. Yet there are members of Congress who do not want to show, who do not want to support a law to make it a requirement to show an ID to vote. (00:37–00:52)

CLAIM

Asserts that multiple forms of ID are required for various activities, including travel and entering government buildings.
