Gingrich also took umbrage with the idea that President Obama had altered welfare work requirements, albeit amid 8 percent unemployment.

“The president of the United States does not have the power to personally revise the law,” he said. “This is not Venezuela. He’s not Hugo Chavez, and he can’t run around and do stuff like this. He’s done it on welfare. He’s done it on the whole issue of immigration. He’s done it with No Child Left Behind.”

“That violates the whole principle under which our Constitution exists, and I think Obama, in that sense, may well be the most anti-Constitutional president in American history. So I’m offended by that,” he added.

Jindal has the best resume, and has the best record of success as governor executive among those mentioned by Newt. He won re-election in democrat leaning LA, which speaks volumes. Newt himself would make an excellent VP choice.

As for Jindal’s eligibility, only two bodies charged with that responsibility by the US constitution, the congress and the SCOTUS. All other opinions are not worth the paper they are written on.

Senator Kelly Ayotte is strategically a very bad choice - the other Senators have GOP governors to replace them guaranteed. New Hamphsire currently has a Dem governor and there is no guarantee he will be replaced by a Republican - we can’t afford to lose a Senate seat.

Looks to me like Gingrich is setting up Romney for defeat if he picks Portman who is a Bush-clone.

I wonder why he didn’t recommend Allen West?

IMO, Portman would guarantee a loss.

Obama didn’t do shit with welfare work requirements. That was clinton with a republican congress in the 90s. It needs to be reformed again..

Newt didn't offer any new names which is disappointing. I imagine this might mean the Romney camp is looking at this slate.

I've heard some good things about Ayotte.

Obama does not have the constitutional or legal authority to take these unconstitutional actions but he obviously DOES have the raw power as he has demonstrated by doing exactly that without meaningful opposition.

“Well, I think the people who would do the best job is somebody like either Sen. Rob Portman, Sen. Marco Rubio, Sen. Kelly Ayotte, Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia, maybe Gov. Bobby Jindal,”

Great idea, Newt! Why put fears to rest with your VP choice? Come on out of that closet.

You GOPe types should make the election a two front war against the demonrat party on one side and against the Constitutionalists on the other and choose Rubio or Jindal for VP.

GOPe against the world!
