Republicans in the House of Representatives said on Wednesday they plan to introduce a bill to advance TransCanada's Keystone XL oil pipeline to try to override President Barack Obama's rejection of the $7 billion project.
House Speaker John Boehner told reporters "all options are on the table" to craft a bill to fight for the pipeline, which Republicans say would create thousands of jobs and bolster the economic recovery. "There are legislative vehicles that will be moving in the weeks and months ahead," Boehner said.
House Republicans have not yet decided what kind of legislation they will push, said Lee Terry, a Republican from Nebraska who supports the Canada-to-Texas pipeline.
In November, Terry crafted a bill that would give the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission the authority to approve Keystone XL, an option that he said will be a "focal point" for House Republicans.

They’d better fight! Not to bloody his nose, but to knock him out! Obama needs to be unable to sit down after they get done sticking this Keystone decision where it belongs.
Wait everybody, are the union jobs shovel ready?
If I was Canada I would proceed building a line to the Pacific
rather than wait for Obozo.
The GOP House has no balls, none, look at the debt deal as a perfect example. The GOP House has already given Obama he debt increase he wanted. IT IS A DONE DEAL, but today all the R’s are making pretty speeches knowing full well they ALREADY approved the increase, liars and hypocrites! The GOP will do NOTHING, nothing at all to stop Obama. Yall need to realize that the GOP is as much the problem as the Rats. If you have not figured that out by now you are stupid.
Boner fights with one clenched fist and waves a white flag in the other. Hard to get excited about his performance. Like how the GOP House defunded Obamacare and all that.
Liberals continue to fight to keep the US dependent on Middle Eastern Oil.
Soros invested 160 Million into Fairchild / Carlye.
And, this is a surprise to whom??
Drilling is still not allowed in the Gulf after the BP spill and zero is doing everything he can to destroy this economy. He's NOT going to relent on this issue.
I'm starting to feel sorry for his daughters who will have to live with the fact that their father was such a s**t head!!
Must be an awful big donation to say no to adding so many badly needed jobs. Is he purposely trying to hurt this nation?
Thanks tobyhill.
More political theater by the stupid party. Everyone knows they’re without a spine and will soon collapse for the weakest of reasons.
