What do you think Boehner and the house republicans can do?
The GOP does not have a 2/3 majority that would be required to overcome the guaranteed veto of any repeal they might manage to pass. And even if they did, the GOP doesn’t even have a majority in the senate, let alone the 60 votes needed to overcome a democrat filibuster or the 2/3 needed to override the still equally GUARANTEED veto from obama. Any attempt to repeal obamacare is dead in the water before it even gets into the water.

Exactly what is in their Constitutional power: defund it. They alone can originate budgets.

The House sets the budget. Defund it, and it’s still on the books with no way to enforce it. If there’s another election, address it then.

Due to the Supreme Court decision that made much of the ObamaKKKare law to be a TAX LAW, it only takes a simple majority in the Senate to overturn the law ~ pending Presidential veto.

We can easily get it through the Senate by intimidating several weak willed and alcoholic Democrats ~ there are some.

Obama knows that.

Harry Reid knows he has to be on the Hill every minute the Senate is in session lest someone try it.

One day he'll make a mistake, take off early or something, and then we strike.
