Well, that might be good for stopping legislative bills, but the House has NO say in the nomination process, so it won't affect packing the executive and judicial branch with potentially despotic or partisan hacks.
The House must refuse to fund this presidential overreach, but I fear that the previous budget compromise of October 2013. If I understand correctly that compromise eliminated the Debt Ceiling unless Congress votes in February to restore it. Since the Republicans don't control the Senate, this won't happen barring exception circumstances. Consequently, in order to reestablish the debt ceiling in law, the Republicans need a 2/3 majority in both houses to override a presidential veto or a favorable president.
Obama has had 211 Article III judicial appointments confirmed by the Senate and the change today will effect 53 judicial nominees who are currently awaiting confirmation.
These are lifetime appointments to the federal bench.
McConnell was so mad at Cruz he got rid of the debt ceiling. It would be funny if it wasn’t so destructive.
Right.
