I want to see investigations into all the shennanigans to get Democrat legislators to vote against the wishes of their constituants. I want to hear about prosecution against all those that conspired against the American people and the constitution. This is nothing short of a coup. There must be legal issues here. I want to see Democrats frog marched, or whatever you call it, out of the capital in orange jump suits.
There WILL be blood...
Slaughter Rule Strategy Unprecedented”
Yep...tactics the Nazis and Marxists used is certainly unprecedented in this country. Welcome to your new Amerika. Slavery is Freedom!
VERY well said.
‘I believe this whole whole administration is trying to destroy America from within.’
You’re not the only one...
“The fact of the matter is that there is no precedent for the House to pass a bill without a direct vote by using a budget reconciliation measure as a trigger and a means to pass ObamaCare.....
.... Nancy Pelosis potentially unconstitutional strategy to pass unconstitutional ObamaCare is without precedent nor justification.”
SAys it all.....

He says you can do this to pass a resolution but NOT a bill. If so, they can’t do it this way.
Are your congressional critters joining cleaver-wielding hands with Nan and Louise? Make your voice heard.
Thanks, don’t know how I missed that.
I sense a run on pitchforks coming to Farm & Fleet.
You missed it cause it’s misinformed commentary. That highlighted sentence is talking about the “cases” where an over-ride of a veto is being voted on.
It is not a general requirement for all legislation.
You were correct at first. The houses of Congress can set their own rules about how to pass legislation. Otherwise, voice votes would be unconstitutional, and we know those have happened since the beginning of time.
Also, Sen. Bunning was holding up passage of that unemployment bill by objecting to its passage by “unanimous consent.” That procedure is also common and “unconstitutional” if the highlighted text above is read out of context.
Thanks, after closer reading it’s clear that the recording of each vote applies to overriding a veto only.
