“You mean Zero would miss out on a Hawaiian vakay with Mitch?”
What? That’s crazy talk!
Barry can do as he pleases and, of course, as a high and mighty Senator Mitch wouild be excused from attendance by Harry- who’d come along, naturally.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama’s remarks were “a measure of the seriousness of the issue at hand.”
No, they’re a measure of what an arrogant pr*ck he is.
Thank you for pointing that out!
I’ll have to look into the ‘48 congressional elections now...
The House should NOT convene IMO. Republicans would benefit politically from calling his bluff. After all they have passed legislation dealing with this and the Dems blocked it in the Senate.
(It’s ‘a political question’ whether this is ‘extraordinary’ so no courts are involved. There is no penalty.)
He’s been golfing and vacationing all year and now all of a sudden he’s engaged in legislative conversation.
LLS
Sounds like he is daring them to defy him and take a holiday recess (so that he can make a bunch of new recess appointments)
And just how does the commie dictator wannabee think he is going to stop them if they decide to leave?
I wouldn’t call this a ‘extraordinary occasion’ but then again, this is all Kabuki Theater with each party playing good politician/bad politician so, unless us peons get a copy of the script, anything is possible.
I do not think co-equal means what he thinks it means...
Two other scenarios:
They don’t recess, just continue the one minute pro-forma meetings.
Two, they recess, he calls a special session, they assemble and promptly vote to adjourn to a date both houses agree on. He appears to have the authority to call them in, but not to keep them there if they can agree on a date. I suppose you could get into an endless cycle of Presidential calls to assemble and Congressional adjournments, though.
That really brings a smile to my face. The President threatening to hold the Congress hostage. What a laugh!
Gee, I always thought we had three separate branches...did someone tell Hussein he could DICTATE to Congress what laws had to passed?
Does he think he is Kim Jong-Il?
