F___ American Business act of 2010
They don’t bother to pass a budget. Why should they be expected to name the bills? Or read them? Or answer questions from the voters?
Congress allowed The Usurper to run for President even though he does not meet Constitutional requirements.
This Congress should be tried for treason, and all the ‘laws enacted’ declared null and void.
There is going to be a day of reckoning with or without a Second Civil War. Hopefully, without, but if necessary ...
No one wants to take credit. But Obama’s gotta sign them all, so why don’t we name all of them the “Obama Act?”
is there anyway to find out what they are passing or why republicans are not informing the public..are they mia?

Is there nowhere we can turn for redress for criminal and Constitutional negligence like this Congress has shown?
They’re busy handing out KY Jelly to the Democrats and trying to stay out of sight [and out of mind] so that the “angry electorate” will vote Republican and not some third party.
Sounds like a Republican Commercial in the making, if they would only go on the offensive and stay there!
>Is there nowhere we can turn for redress for criminal and Constitutional negligence like this Congress has shown?
Ourselves; via the Deceleration of Independence and the 2nd Amendment.
The names are no longer needed after gems like “Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act”
Congress has gone full retard and all must be voted out.
But then, they can’t pass any more XXXXXX acts of XXXX, can they?
This is a new low in stupidity. But it’s funny too.
At this point in time, our only redress is the ballot box.
Why not just go alphabetical each year like they do hurricanes. The Aardvark act of 2010. The Bear act of 2010. The Cat act of 2010. Etc.
I know you’re right. I guess we just found a small flaw in the Constitution as written: the Congress and the President don’t really need to follow it because there is no mechanism beyond the ballot box for more urgent action.
“But Obama’s gotta sign them all...”
This is a common error. A bill becomes law automatically when passed by both houses of Congress with or without the President’s signature. Except if the POTUS vetoes it. See Const., Art 1, Sec. 7. The intent of the FF was to make Congress supreme in passing laws. Signing bills is merely for publicity, practiced by every president, to show his agreement.
Hence, if Ubuma is declared ineligible, all the laws he signed remain in force. Since signing a bill is merely “symbolic”, whether signed by a legitimate office holder or not is irrelevant. Every court and common sense will understand Art 1, Sec 7 as meaning the bills became law without a President’s signature, as provided for.
The freedom of Aardvark choice and recovery act of 2010
Why bother to name these bills they want to pass when they don’t even read them and have no idea of what is them before they approve them.
