The House will do what President Trump tells them, lest they get individual nasty surprises like the ones dished out on November 8th. :)
There's a 98.1% chance that Hillary will be elected president 4 weeks ago... :)
Uh, folks this is simply more fake news from that fake news source NYT.
The House is just mouthing off while they still can, and the NYT is genning this up as a great war between the House and President Trump. The House won’t know what hit them if they actually DO try to obstruct President Trump when he fires up his bully pulpit to appeal directly to the people while privately signalling that his primarying efforts are under way.
I would rather pay $13.50 for a hammer made in America and put the money in a fellow American’s pocket than in the pockets of those dangerous maniacs who hate us.
I remember when you spent a good buck for an American made tool designed by engineers instead of pencil necked geeks which lasted you and your son a lifetime instead of falling part after a few months.
Veto the traitors bill
Smooooooooooot. </s>
I said from the beginning they would suddenly discover all those powers they seemed to forget they had to stop a President.
Ryan is an amnesty pimp and so is the Turtle.
We tax all our exports and place no tax on any imports, and we have a half a trillion dollar trade deficit. So tell me how is that working out for the USA?
We are in a trade war already and we are getting our asses kicked. The big corporations are making a killing and the US government is raking in billions in taxes and main street is dying.
The House republicans are showing who their real masters are the Chamber of Crony Commerce. FAIR-FREE Trade, no more just free trade.
IS IT TOO EARLY TO START CALLING THIS THE “FAILED TRUMP ADMINISTRATION”????
Trade treaties are treaties, and are approved only by 2/3 of the U.S. Senate.
The principle of a President unilaterally voiding an existing treaty may have started back in the Indian/Native American treaty days. In the post WW2 era, this started up again when Jimmy Carter voided treaties with the Republic of China. Some members of the Senate objected.
In Goldwater v. Carter (1979), 79-856, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that treaties, even though they are law next to the U.S. Constitution, and have higher priority than other laws, that withdrawal from a treaty can be done by the President unilaterally, and that the U.S. Supreme Court does not have the authority to intervene in political issues. Burger, Stewart, Stevens, Marshall, Rehnquist and Powell concurred, while White, Blackmun, and Brennan dissented, due to Constitutional issues.
And promises made by a U.S. President to other nations without a treaty, e.g. “Climate Change” promise to deindustrialize the U.S., in addition to violating the takings clause of the U.S. Constitution, have no force of law.
Learn? From what? ‘Life’? Majority of these feckless nobodies haven’t WORKED a day in their lives in the public sector; let alone ran a biz, paid employees, dealt w/ red-tape...To paraphrase a great thinker: They’re run out of sand given control of the Sahara.
Let alone they let the THOUGHT of ‘small govt’ zip through their brain cell(s). Tax cuts won’t get anyone back when the oppressive bureaucracy remains (how many boxes of paper were wasted on the Zero’s last few months w/ regs and edicts and ...)
Good response.
Right, that’s my understanding as well.
