>>>johnculberson We would ask the Pres to call Congress into special session but the Senate used a sneaky trick to prevent this - they are still in session about 9 hours ago from web<<<

I don’t understand this part. Can someone explain?

[Eagle of Liberty]

I say we send a few thousand cases of these to his office....much like we did with the bricks for the border wall.

[ctdonath2]

Where?

[roses of sharon]

Good job, we are their customers, we are unhappy, and they need to know about it!

[NonValueAdded]

I’m thinking an “ignore user” feature would be a great FReepathon fundraiser.

[mware]

He presides over the Senate not the House.

[Son House]

Sounds good, back-up was fun for the original, using wikipedia on Democrats was meant to order.

[saveliberty]

Right but the Senate is open so that the President will not make recess appointments. BlueMoose was making the point that the VP could attempt to close it, but I have to say why?

If we are where we are with the House, why not let the Senate stay open? It supports the argument that the House shouldn’t go on paid vacation while there is no resolution on offshore drilling.

[ctdonath2]

If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t have answered.

[Jemian]

He can call the HOUSE into special session. He doesn’t have to wait for the Senate to adjourn.

I wish I was on the scene, Pence was on Laura's show doing an interview.

[BlueMoose]

president pro tempore - A constitutionally recognized officer of the Senate who presides over the chamber in the absence of the Vice President. The President Pro Tempore (or, "president for a time") is elected by the Senate and is, by custom, the Senator of the majority party with the longest record of continuous service.

The VP needs to get to the senate and keep them there allso. A Senator need to amke a motion to have the Sgt of arm s bring the Senators back. Won't happen but should.

From #dontgo

Pence: “I’d be delighted if John McCain joined us.

RobertBluey: Pence said some members had people ask them at church yesterday if they were going back to Washington.

[ctdonath2]

If you are unhappy our side is protesting the rats shut down of the people’s House

No, I'm unhappy that the pubbies think a 9-5 weekday "protest" is viable, and that a couple dozen reps (out of hundreds) a meaningful protest make.

Thanks so much Star as usual we can’t thank you enough for what you continue to do.

Oh absolutely!

My daughter called up her Invader Zim sound byte that says "Whiner!". She played it repeatedly! LOL

[SumProVita]

“McCain has more guts than Obama, Obama never got off base to see any civilians; “

I KNOW. I see Obama as the penultimate WIMP.

[rodguy911]

[eeevil conservative]
