Newt on C-Span now!! 2:30 pm. (rerun)
Section 3. He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper;
We should be repealing most enviro laws, not all, but most. The USA has done a good job of controlling, and cleaning up, pollution and pollution damage. However, in the 1970s we started going overboard because the communists co-opted the environmentalists movement and corrupted it.
Get rid of the EPA, relax most rules on building nukes, stop banning drilling, stop the ban on coal use and shale oil use. Let the industry roll. We will better off in the long run.

I don't know why,you are going to have to ask W why. The constitution does read, in case of extraordinary occasions he can convene both, or either, houses. Maybe he doesn't feel circumstances warrant calling a special session. It isn't something to be done lightly. Below is the section dealing with convening congress under special sessions.

I guess I can’t figure it out.
Hey, I wasn’t upset, but I never said the president needed the speaker’s approval for a special session. He doesn’t - he can call a special session if the emergency requires it.
However, yesterday during the C-Span press conference, Republicans explained why the president had not called a special session... saying that Pelosi could adjourn it, and they would be back to where they started. This was clearly articulated.
Now that flies in the face of the last sentence of your quote. Heh, perhaps that information should be sent to them - in which case maybe a special session COULD work.
Looks pretty clear to me, I don’t get it. He must have some strategy as you suggest.
I agree, 100%.
Those who complain about jobs going overseas - I can't help but wonder if they know WHY they are. Unions, enviro whackos, regulations, etc.
taxes......
bttt!
Not even close! lol!
We have to keep calling and encouraging them ALL MONTH! Let them know we're paying attention so they don't loose steam. :-)
Breathtaking.
The Washington Times has a weekly FANTASTIC full-page commentary in comic-strip format on the REAL cost of oil. The Sunday, July 6 one is CRUDE AWAKENING PART TWO; “HUGO YOUR WAY, I’LL GO MINE.” (I’m just a bit behind in my reading!)
http://www.washingtontimes.com/media/interactives
One of the frames has Hugo carrying a breakfast tray: “You look like you had a rough night, compadre! Here! Have some of Hugo Chavez’ los famosos huevos con queso y cafe con leche! Hey relax! You just sit back, enjoy your breakfast, and I’ll “splain” why you keep paying so much for your oil!”
My husband and I really cracked up reading Part One. Amazingly easy to read and understand and so very true—we’re paying phenomenal prices because the suppliers have upped the price! A lot of people don’t seem to understand that.
This is a full color page of hilarious dialog and drawings. Artist is Hunter—what a phenomenal talent. Written so well, even an 8 year old can understand the oil problem—that lets Nancy Pelosi out!
This way he can keep the Dems in DC until the 5 week vacation is over or until Pelosi caves(which she won't, she is too stupid to cave).
So technically the Representatives were correct and so am I. The constitution can be tricky in some spots. Actually, I think it is better that he doesn't force the special session, it is better to keep going this way.

In regards to the speaker statement that was some other poster who said that Pleosi had to agree to convene, which as you can see from the article she doesn't have a say. Sorry about the mistake.
Add Lou Barletta (Mayor of Hazelton) 11th Dist PA running against Kanjorski (of family earmarks fame)
Also pray for Sen. John Sununu in NH - he’s in a tough battle against former gov Jeanne Shaheen. He’s gaining.
And I’ve been plastering gas pumps with BIG stickers very similar to the ones posted here!!!Keep fighting the good fight. We are winning this one!!!
That would be great, I am so excited about these threads, especially the one on Friday, I was so startled by it I couldn't believe it at first. Kudos to eeevil for starting this. Yep, the economy would go crazy and that is exactly what the communist, traitor, socialist democrat party doesn't want.
Call Congress Back
You must have read my mind. I was looking for that to e-mail everyone I know. Thanks!
