Speaker ’s worst nightmare is on the rise here in rural North Carolina. Senator Mark Meadows is gaining steam as a clearly coordinated, highly orchestrated effort to remove Boehner as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives—and fix a broken Congress that no longer represents the wishes of the American people—comes into much clearer focus.
Congress has two bodies: The House of Representatives and the Senate.
Members of the House of Representatives are called Representatives.
Members of the Senate are called Senators.
BOTH are called Congressmen.
Talk to me after he actually gets the job done.
Nice to hear from Caldwell County, Contrarian. Looks like we’re neighbors.
Would love to be able to post to you: ‘Senator (Ooops) Representative Mark Meadows was just what the VideoDoctor ordered.’
Thank you for correcting my mistake . . and for refraining from rubbing my nose in it. Much appreciated.
John Boehner’s worst nightmare is finding all the liquor stores closed.
Or selling out of his orange spray-tan.
You stated, “The headline is incorrect. Mark Meadows is a “Congressman”, not a “Senator”.,P> Well, actually, you’d be incorrect, too.”
The current edition of Webster’s dictionary defines Congressman as follows:
“: someone (especially a man) who is a member of a congress and especially of the U.S. House of Representatives”
Technically a Senator is a member of Congress and could be called a Congressman. In practice, as Webster indicates, members of the House are called Congressmen.
Members of the Senate do not refer to themselves as Congressmen and are rarely referred to as a Congressman by the media. Members of the US Senate are almost always referred to as a “Senator”.
LMAO
If Virginia banned smoking in bars he’d take his own life.
