And even if you get 60 votes the president would still need to sign it. If he doesn’t then the Senate would need 2/3 of the votes to override his veto.

Congress has essentially abdicated all its power. The president is king.

Congress has essentially abdicated all its power. The president is king.

Congress abdicated all its power when Obama began taking illegal and unconstitutional actions a long time ago, and they refused to do anything about it.

All of this means nothing to Obama. The entire Congress could vote against it, and he'd still do it anyway because no one would stop him.

Congress is playing politics with itself without regard to the law or even reality. Obama isn't playing politics, he's destroying the country.

That is where we are now. There is no real struggle in DC, no opposition to what Obama is actually doing. The DC elite are just worrying about election polling and pandering to their various donor groups.

Obama has been beyond all that for a while now. He is not pursuing a political agenda, he is actively engaged in accomplishing his ideological goals.

Congress is down in the ballroom having a beauty pageant for the DC and media elite while Obama is up in the wheelhouse ramming the Titanic into every iceberg he can find.
