Ronald Ernest "Ron" Paul (born August 20, 1935) is a Republican U.S. Congressman from Texas, and a presidential candidate. He is also on the House Foreign Affairs committee.

In an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN, he stated that his objection to many bills was "strictly constitutional" and that he was against the Armenian Genocide resolution because "look at the chaos it created"[1], and went on to mention that it happened over 90 years ago. He did not explain however how recognizing the bill is unconstitutional, nor did he explain how having troops in Turkey and giving it so much aid is constitutional. He also did not explain what the "chaos" was that was created, besides complaints and threats from Turkey.
