Former President Barack Obama on the passing of iconic Maryland congressman, Rep. Elijah Cummings.
Michelle (Obama) and I are heartbroken over the passing of our friend, Elijah Cummings.

Its a tribute to his native Baltimore that one of its own brought such character, tact, and resolve into the halls of power every day. And true to the giants of progress he followed into public service, Chairman Cummings stood tallest and most resolute when our country needed him the most.
