After signaling earlier in the day that his leadership style could lend itself to passage of immigration overhaul without the votes of a majority of his own party, Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, took some heat from outside conservative groups.
The Conservative Action Project on Tuesday afternoon circulated a letter to House Republican lawmakers co-signed by dozens of influential movement leaders, urging them to formally adopt the “Hastert Rule.”
Named for Rep. J. Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., who served as speaker from 1999 to 2007, the rule dictates that no bill come to the floor without assurance that a majority of GOP members will vote for it.

That sobbing quisling should never have been elected Speaker. What good is it to have a majority in the House if the leader is conniving with the Democrats?
Amnesty passes & America dies.
What does the NSA have on Boehner?
Watching the death of a political party right before my eyes is kind of exciting. I am hoping Palin, West, Levin, Bachmann will resurface when the new party emerges.
Did Boehner have a democrat opponent in 2012? What was his margin of victory for reelection?
Maybe we can get the mighty Bob Michel back. Even that feckless squish who made the GOP House look like the Washington Generals had more spine than Boehner.
It is profoundly sad. With the demise of the party comes the end of America because there is nobody left to lead in a manner consistent with our values.
Yeah. Right on. Right on.
When something meant something versus following the political (correct) master/environment.
For want of conservative speaker,
there was an Imposter pRes_ _ent,
who destroyed America
after micturating for five years
upon its Constitution and Law.
Yes, but ignoring the Hastert rule ensures that Bohner’s complaint that “we only control half of one third of the government” is technically true. You can rest assured that neither pelosi or any other democrat leader would allow an opposition version of a bill to be voted upon.
>> What does the NSA have on Boehner?
Very true and on Justice Obamacare Roberts and many of the house/senate republicans. (Karl Rove has dirt on people too).
When Bohner goes around his caucus to Pelosi to successfully pass bills to Obama with little GOP support it is not just a negative refection on him, recall he was unchallenged as Speaker Jan 2 immediately after doing exactly that, it is reflection of the lameness of House Republicans in this congress.
They pass their endless go-no-where repeals of O care over and over and then when a vote actually counts they turn the house over to Pelosi to get the Reid bill to Obama?
That's definitely a historical low.
Boehner's opponent was a write-in candidate who got less than one percent of the vote. A Democrat hasn't won that seat since 1936.
Texas will be impossible to live in.
The gloating Mexicans will surpass the pushy angry entitled.
Time to ventilate some RINOs.
For all who are narrow-focused on Speaker Boehner, you need to broaden your vista. This is a Democrat Party/Republican Party cabal at work here.
When was the last time the Republicans held to their principles, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? This stuff preceded Boehner.
They committed so much vote fraud in Ohio in 2012 but did nothing against the speaker of the house? What that tells me is that the Democrats want to have Boehner remain in office. He is more than a RINO; he is a mole.
