218 or 41 - to refuse to vote spending or filibuster spending
218-60/51/50+VP-1 - to invoke cloture, pass a bill and sign it into law
290-67 - to override a Presidential veto
218-67 - to impeach and convict
290-67-38 - to amend the Constitution
Hard? Yes. Possible in 2012? Yes, but no guts. Possible in 2013? Only the spending, same as 2012. Possible in 2015? Ask me November 7, 2012. But the key is Senators. If we get to 60 conservatives - which may mean 66-70 Republicans - can control spending.
On paper, we already have enough Reps in the House to stop Reidcare (Obama didn't write it, probably still hasn't read it). In fact, if we had leaders who would commit, win or lose, like the other party did in 2010, we could defund the Left as of 30 September 2012, and could have in 2011, as no budget had been passed, which is still true.
Thank you.
See there, FRiends; conservatives can still think straight and function through great disappointment
