Leaders lead. They speak out when it’s necessary. They don’t wait for approval from the likes of Obama.
Why not, they are continuously lectured by foreign leaders like Barack obama
I’m sure Congress is tired of being lectured by Reid, McConnell, Boner, Pelosi and Bammy. Time to try something new.
Foreign policy is the domain of the executive branch under the Constitution.
And making law is under the Legislative branch under the Constitution.
ENFORCING the law is under the Executive branch but he choses NOT to enforce it.
He won’t be “lecturing” anybody.
He will be presenting Israel’s case for security and survival.
If we’re to start limiting speeches before congress, I suggest we start by banning the lies and pandering by Obama.
Why does he call it “lecture” here in a clearly negative way.? He is speaking to Congress.
The Speaker of the House is 2nd in line to the presidency.
The House initiates all fiscal bills.
The House shares the responsibility to declare War.

Yes these a-holes that run this USofA quagmire need a lecture and maybe are short a few from earlier in life
Under the Constitution, the executive and legislative branches share responsibility for making and implementing important foreign-policy decisions. Congress has a critical role to play in scrutinizing the decisions of the president when these decisions involve national security, relationships with allies and the threat of nuclear proliferation.
Congress has every right to invite, even over the presidents strong objection, any world leader or international expert who can assist its members in formulating appropriate responses to the current deal being considered with Iran regarding its nuclear-weapons program. Indeed, it is the responsibility of every member of Congress to listen to Prime Minister Netanyahu, who probably knows more about this issue than any world leader, because it threatens the very existence of the nation state of the Jewish people.
It is Congress' job to hear the voice of our only true friend and ally in the Middle East if the potus won't do it.
Should be anti-Semitism, not anti-Semitic.
Since Obama has been President, the following foreign leaders have lectured Congress:
Petro Poroshenko, President of Ukraine
Lee Myung-bak, President of Republic of Korea
Binyamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel
Julia Gillard, Prime Minister of Australia
Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, President of Mexico
Dr. Angela Merkel, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany
Gordon Brown, Prime Minster of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Ultimately Netanyahus speech isnt going to change much.
What if he calls out Obama as a nincompoop in plain language?
I think there is a reason Obama really wants to muzzle him.
Why not, we have a foreign leader running the White House now.
Those in congress who need it are not showing up and zer0 needs it. But none of them would listen anyway. They are Islamofacists and marxist buttwipes.
Silly question. There are no foreign leaders like Netanyahu.
Obama gets to speak once a year or more. How foreign can you get?
Absolutely...or would they rather rely on the press and Obama for crucial information concerning decision-making? I just wish it was question and answer Similar to a congressional hearing, with one exception, the question could only last 30 seconds...no congressional bloviating for the cameras.
Obama went on a world tour while campaigning for president....yet Obama says Bibi shouldn’t. Obama lectures Americans, yet Obama says Bibi shouldn’t. I see a pattern here that I do not like. Free speech is free speech. Congress can listen to anyone they want to, same as Americans. The only one/ones who don’t like it are Obama and his minions. I, for one, am taking names of all the whiners. I want a list of those never to listen to again. A list of those who don’t care for our rights of free speech.
