"It would be nice if this drunken fool would DEFUND Obamacare."

I take it you failed civics and/or Government? It takes both Houses AND the POTUS to do such.

Do you see Obama and Harry Reid jumping on board to your proposal?

Elections have consequences. Obamacare is here to stay until you get the Democrats out in the Senate and the White House.

True but the House could Adjourn until the Senate Takes up the Budget they Submitted and FORCE THE ISSUE, The House can do Absolutely Nothing if they Want, They can shut down ALL OF GOVERNMENT anytime by Refusing to Bring Anything to the Floor, the House Has ALL the POWER but none of the balls.

[Jim from C-Town]

All spending bills originate in the House. The Peoples’ house. The House controls the purse strings. That is their power. That gives the House leader even more power than the President.

The President may control the military, but the House can unilaterally shut off their funding. They do not need an act by the Senate to squelch spending. They simply refuse to hold a vote for a continuing resolution.

It takes guts and the ability to present your thoughts in a clear manner to the American people. These are two things that Boehner has proved he doesn't have.

All revenue bills start in the House. If the House does not fund Obamacare, it does not get funded.

I take it you failed civics and/or Government? It takes both Houses AND the POTUS to do such.

If revenue bills (laws) MUST originate in the House, and yet only the POTUS and the Senate are needed to create valid Constitutional laws, why do we still have a House?

I submit there is a deficiency in your civics/government education as well.
