White House Won't Rule Out That Obama Will Sign Other Bills...That Are Not Put to Yea-or-Nay Votes
CNSNews.com ^ | 03/18/2010 | Fred Lucas

The White House declined on Thursday to rule out that President Barack Obama might sign future legislation, such as an immigration reform measure, that has not been put to a recorded yea-or-nay vote in both houses of Congress.

CNSNews.com asked White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs about the possibility of the president doing so because of a prospective lawsuit that Landmark Legal Foundation President Mark Levin has prepared to file against the president if he signs a health care bill that has not been passed by a direct recorded yea-or-nay vote in the House of Representatives. The prospective lawsuit argues that the plain language of Article 1, Section 7 of the Constitution requires that both houses of Congress hold recorded yea-or-nay votes on a bill before it can be presented to the president for his signature and before it can become law.

“I stated earlier that when this (health care) bill passes the House, the president will be happy to sign it,” Gibbs told CNSNews.com.

He twice declined to say, however, whether President Obama would rule out signing additional pieces of legislation that did not pass both chambers of Congress with a yea-or-nay vote....

Why not take it to a federal judge, to the Supreme Court might be best, for a reatraining order telling the President not to sign any bill that hasn’t been properly voted on by both the House and the Senate.

Obama would simply sign an executive order removing from the bench any judge or panel of judges who dared tell Obama to do anything.

He officially became a dictator today and in his and his backers minds, nobody can stop them.

Why doesn’t Emperor Obama, the Nigerian or where-ever native, simply come out of the closet and rule by dictate as he probably truly wants to.

Complete overthrow of the U.S.Constitution would not make the average Dem lose 5 minutes of sleep. If Hitler could do it, why not Obama?

Obama was seriously emboldened when no one defended the Constitution's requirement that only a Natural Born Citizen can be elected president.

Signing bills without full Congressional approval is the next logical step to destroying all Constitutional constraints whatsoever.

This is how it started in most dictatorships. If he does it with health care, and nothing happens, you can forget it. You have lost your country. Fight, accept it or move away.

BS! Most cops are NOT minorities. I know at least 100 or more personally, about 30 are close personal friends and they all despise the Kenyan.

The Capital Police I’ve seen on T.V. have always been minorities. Either way, they take their marching orders from the Congress.

But I hope you’re right. If you are the shootin’ will never start.

The lowercase is appropriate here. We’ll need some republican Democrats - those who still believe in a republic - to take a stand here.

Obama is essentially calling for a repudiation of the American republican ideal, an end to the U.S. Constitution.

What will it take for some republican lawmakers to call for an uprising?

Not only the Cuban’s are freaking out down here. I have friends who fled Chavez’s Communist haven and they’ve seen it all before as well.

Don’t bother talking to them if you’re Hispanic and voted for Obama - they’d kill them on the spot and spit on their graves if they could.

Yes, this is so called liberal Miami (it ain’t so liberal anymore folks - thanks Dear Leader)

Hey Obama voters: what do you think of your “change” now?

Unfortunately, most of them have no idea what is going on - and they would neither care nor understand even if you took the time to explain it.

And when the sh!t hits the fan, they will continue to grumble about how Reagan and Bush ruined America. A majority of the people who squat in this country (I cannot refer to them as Americans) are a lost cause.

“What is this a dictatorship? If a Civil War, or revolution do not happen, then this country is toast.”

It’s not a dictatorship YET, otherwise these words would never pass the censor; however, it is rapidly becoming the United Socialist States of America where the Obama rules by decree (Presidential Orders) which was the way both Hitler and Chavez seized control of their respective nations.

Yes, civil war is our only option, as witness what happened to the people of Germany and Venezuela who went along peacefully with the murder of democracy.

I’d say we have maybe one more year before censorship and mass repression starts to happen and makes revolt difficult, if not impossible.

The time has come for massive civil disobedience, numerous strikes and the formation of armed Minutemen militias designed to overthrow the oppressive federal government, and bring Obama and his Democommie friends to justice.

A tall order? Yes, but Americans are born rebels against tyranny and come from a line of people who once did the impossible and seized their freedom out of the jaws of the most powerful country of its day.

BLOOD AND IRON! Embrace the suck, my fellow Americans!

A good beginning for a civil war, my friend! If you’re waiting for are “Republican Leaders” to actually LEAD, it ain’t gonna happen. The ball is in our court just like it was in the spring of 1775. The time has become to get in the faces of the Democommies and their lackeys - civil disobedience is an excellent technique. I don’t think it will make the regime back down, but it will have the effect of causing patriot blood to start to flow.

And then we wave the bloody shirt....

Prussia?

Britain didn't even have the beginnings of a body of professional infantry until the early 1800s, and was locked in combat with more powerful navies up until the French Revolution.

I prefer Levin.

Second that - IMHO he is #2 right after El Rushbo.

I can’t find this article by following the link. Is it still there? Where is this in writing? I’m not familiar with CNS news. As soon as I can get this confirmed I’m posting on my FB page. I don’t care any more if people think I’m too political. TONS of people read FB that would never read Free Republic or listen to Rush, Levin, etc. I’ve posted somethings that have shocked some people out of their American Idol stupor - we’ve got to be Paul Revere and sound the alarm. There are still some uninformed people who can be roused up and brought to our side if they finally hear the truth! Please let me know if you have any other sources for this (I don’t doubt at all that Obama said it, just need it confirmed in some place where friends can also verify, preferable in a somewhat well known blog or newspaper). Thanks so much!

I am referring to the potential for Obama signing this unconstitutional usurpation of power.
