“WH Warns Veto...”???
Is anyone still aware of the fact that a veto can, and sometimes SHOULD, be overturned? The House can do THAT too. But they won’t. No matter how much we scream at them.

If it gets to the Senate, rats like McCaskil will have their votes recorded one way or another and coward McCaskil (Mo) has been running hard and scared from Obamacare ever since she voted for it, there are other rats in the same position who are up for reelection in Nov.

Too true, this all just political theater. If they were serious they would impeach Roberts.
To: Graybeard58
Any politician who votes “NOT” to repeal Obamacare has signed their losing re-election bid. Plus they will be on record....they will go down! Down>....into the gutter.

The House will hold five hours of debate on Tuesday and Wednesday on legislation that would completely repeal the 2010 healthcare law, which is being called up by Republicans in light of the Supreme Court's decision that the individual health insurance mandate is constitutional.Why is this inaccurancy constantly repeated without being contested?

What, in your opinion, is inaccurate about it?

Well according to Wikipedia there are currently 433 members of the House. Two thirds of 433 is 289. From the same source there are 242 GOP members of the House. 289 - 242 = 47 Dims would have to vote for the bill to over ride the veto. Do you third there are 47 Dims who would vote to override?

What, in your opinion, is inaccurate about it?The individual health care mandate was not declared Constitutional. Roberts had to rewrite the wording to make the mandate a tax so that the AHCA could be declared Constitutional. That's why Ginsberg dissented with Roberts' opinion.
I'm sure you knew that, right?

The individual health care mandate was not declared Constitutional.
Wasn't it declared Constitutional under the government's taxing power?
