There were several ways in which House Republicans celebrated Constitution Day. Some recorded videos; others delivered speeches on the House Floor. Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-AL) hosted a Google Hangout to share the meaning of the Constitution with students from six schools in his district.
House Oversight & Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) tweeted the entire Constitution, 140 characters at a time. It only took him 462 tweets.
Most House Republicans took to social media in one way or another. Here are some of the highlights:
