"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton
 
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams
 
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

From the Article:
The freshman senator also reminded them to be skeptical of promises from House leaders, particularly of “show votes” – legislative action designed to placate conservatives that carry little, if any, weight.

You and the author of this Washington Post article are advocating for the same thing: Impeachment. That seems odd, doesn’t it?

Lawlessness, corruption, and thuggery have become standard operating procedures under liberal democrat leadership.

Their supporters will continue to pretend that nothing has happened. They work very hard to cover for these guys, and they provide funding for them. Thus, they become partakers of this corruption.

The WP is doing what they always do....inventing stuff. The HOR finally did something responsible. They listened to what their voters want.

The true beauty of them publishing the devious, demagogue, hate spewing, Dimocrats as they continue to become more shrill in their denouncement of impeachable offenses committed by Skippy the First is that they may well make the case for impeachment in the press before the idea catches on with the timid GOPe.

The federal government is constitutionally gridlocked at this time because Congress is divided. (Obama’s constitutionally indefensible executive orders are a different issue.)

For example, citizens understandably want Obama impeached out of office. The problem is that a split Congress cannot impeach Obama out of office at this time. This is because only the Senate has the constitutional authority to remove someone from office should the House of Representatives impeach someone. And Reid, who also needs to be impeached imo, will not allow the Senate to remove Obama from office.

Again, a lot of so-called House chaos is a actually consequence of Congress being divided imo.

As a side note to the federal government being gridlocked, please consider the following. Given the limited powers that the Founding States had delegated to Congress, gridlock is arguably the effect as to how the Founders wanted the federal government to normally operate. In other words, the Founder intended for citizens to work with their local and state government representatives, not federal lawmakers, to resolve domestic problems.

In fact, note that just about the only peacetime concern that citizens would contact their federal lawmakers about is the US Mail Service evidenced by the Constitution’s Clause 7 of Section 8 of Article I. Otherwise, the states have never delegated to Congress, expressly via the Constitution, the specific powers to establish most of the federal services that many citizens are depending on today.

President Obama our Lightweight Illegal African Ruler, asked for 3.7 billion dollars for the border.

Much of this would have been laundered through Acorn Affiliates back to the DNC.

If the Ministry of Information saw Bonehead pick his teeth after lunch they would report “He’s moving toward impeachment.”

Boehner’s most significant accomplishment in Washington, D. C. has been to block a good capable man from holding the position of Speaker of the House.

Has anyone ever heard the RNC or someone thought of as a part of the GOPe leadership, criticizing Boehner?

Obama has been able to do much of what he has done, because there is no opposition to him. The Senate is in Democrat hands, and the House is in the hands of a man who has no leadership skills, no vision, and no visible character.
