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....

Dictatorship? Affirmative. He’s proved this time and time again.
Outrageous! Outrageous!
Precedent. That has been a key word in every call I have made to our illustrious “Representatives”.
Shakes head. I want them all frog marched out of D.C.
I want an example made of each and every one of the treasonous @#$%^&*+.
Tatt
This administration needs to be removed. Let the revolution begin!!!!!
Well, if he gets away with it once...we KNOW he’ll try it
over and over. That IS the master plan, after all!
Of course, I’ll agree with you in prayer for our country! We really do need forgiveness and healing in our land, and we definitely need divine deliverance from the harm being done to our Constitution by our legislators - ‘wicked rulers in high places’ comes to mind. But they’ll give account very soon.
I know how you feel. A couple days ago, I saw an guy walk by a car that had a nobama bumper sticker, and pulled out his keys. He keyed that car all the way down one side, and then back across the other side.
I laughed my rear off.
I work at a school in CA. I am having a REALLY hard time fighting the urge.
What will it take for the majority of non-leftist people to officially have an uprising throughout the entire U.S.?
How blatant does he and congress have to be? I keep thinking they’ll mellow out a bit and pretend there’s a Constitution, but obviously that’s not going to happen. How far does he and congress have to go before it’s too far? Hopefully, America is now awake enough to get pissed off.
LUVW...the WH has already stated he will be willing to use the “deeming” process on future bills.
Deo, 45% of the people in this country still love this man. They WANT socialism. They knew what they were getting when they elected this guy. They want to see us locked up or shot in the streets. They’re just so stupid they don’t realize that after they get us, they’re next.
I don’t know the answer. You’d think it would have happened before now. But be aware, they have much more firepower than the British did against the patriots.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if D.C. is closed to all traffic on Saturday. There will be troops and D.C. police at every road into the city if it appears “too many” nuts are on the way. And by the way, D.C. police answer to Pelosi and Obama.
I don't need any polls, or advice, or even all the Democrats."
"I can and will make and sign all bills myself. I don't need anyone. I am not campaigning anymore because I won the election, do you hear me McCain? I can do whatever I want. I am the chosen one, the all-knowing one, the smartest man in America. I know what the people want. I don't have to listen to them or follow the Constitution."
Oh, what a mess we are in with this egomaniac of no good intentions. There is a bad air in the White House and you can tell because it smells like B.O.
How far does he have to go before it doesn’t matter how black he is, congress will impeach him?
T Y R A N N Y !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is he the Anti-Christ? Forty-five % of the people in this country still worship him. And it appears not all of us are going to be allowed to buy or sell.
My question is this: If we were to become convinced the Anti-Christ is here, are we supposed to stand against him? It would be God’s will that he’s here.
That’s exactly what it is. Can they be stopped? This won’t be rebelling against a king 3,000 miles away. It won’t take the troops 3 weeks to arrive here by ship. They’re already here and they’re locked and loaded.
Marxism 101 at work.
