Folks, it’s only 2 pages, and the first one doesn’t count.
It basically sets income and corporate taxes to “zero percent”.
Hillarious.

A racist, Jew-hating demagogue declares an "emergency."
Hmmm...
To: La Enchiladita
McConnell commented in the record, about how much of an "emergency" this is, to the DEM leadership in the Senate.
THE JOBS PLAN -- (Senate - September 13, 2011) ... They have said that despite the President's calls to pass this bill immediately, the real plan is to let it hang out there for a while so Democrats can use it as an issue on the campaign trail. What is more, the President knew as well as I did when he unveiled this plan that Democrats in the Senate had already scheduled a full slate of legislative business for the next few weeks. So unless the White House wants to admit that it has no regard for its own party's legislative business in Congress, the President's call for immediate action was clearly little more than a rhetorical flourish.

I have not checked. Does anyone know if Gohmert's bill has been filed? --
I checked the Record for Sept 12 and 13, and it does not appear in either of those.
House - Sept 13
House - Sept 12
Scroll down to the sections titled "PUBLIC BILLS AND RESOLUTIONS", then search for "Gohmert."

It does not matter.
Presidents don’t submit bills.
They just don’t.
Why has no one pointed that out?

Whew. How exhausting and frenetic it must be for our President to live a life of perpetual crisis. Obambi just isn’t used to it, never had any work experience that prepared him to be a competent President.

Presidents dont submit bills. One Bill from president is Budget. Please correct me if wrong.

He is desperate, delusional, and despicable. Not necessarily in that order.

Gohmert's bill proposal is datestamped (at the bottom of the first page) with today's date, and it may be that he's filing it today; or that it has already been filed (today).
The Bill that is in the Senate (same name) was filed yesterday.
By Mr. REID (by request): S. 1549. A bill to provide tax relief for American workers and businesses, to put workers back on the job while rebuilding and modernizing America, and to provide pathways back to work for Americans looking for jobs; read the first time.

I tried to.
“All legislative powers...”
Especially since bills spending money MUST!!! originate in the house
But it is no longer politically expedient to stick to the Constitution. Didn’t Madison promise us this would never happen in one of the Federalist Papers?
Jeesh. Who cares anymore. It’s gone, folks. No rules apply to them, none at all!

Obama said. Were in a national emergency. Mr. Obama, your being a one term president doesn't constitute a national emergency, however, your reelection would!

Especially since bills spending money MUST!!! originate in the house A question. Could not a spending bill be written by House member, Senate member, or sitting President, yet the filing must be in the House?
I maybe am wrong, regarding this thought, yet agree all spending money bills MUST originate in the House. And I agree this is not being done presently, as the Senate now introduces spending money bills. I agree this is a clear violation of the Constitution.

Ha! not one Democrat willing to drop the bill in the hopper, 5 1/2 days after he waved it in the air yelling "do it now!"
