To make a point about the Obama administration’s stance on a fence across the southern border, one Republican lawmaker jokingly suggested in a congressional hearing Wednesday that the president should remove the fence protecting the White House.
Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert made the comments during a House Judiciary Hearing Wednesday with Joseph Clancy, the acting director of the U.S. Secret Service. As lawmakers questioned the acting director about the recent fence jumpers at the White House, Gohmert connected the problem to border issues.
Gohmert told Clancy that if Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano thinks building a fence on the border is “worthless,” than it would be consistent for the administration to be against a White House fence too.

Maybe they should stop funding the Secret Service.

Agreed. If Obama is going to leave the border unlocked to get to all of us then why shouldn’t we make him leave HIS doors unlocked?

And what about his trillion dollar BAT CAVE under the WH…?
Rugged fence, attack dogs, machine-guns AND a bat-cave.
Where his own physical security is concerned, his standards are totally unprecedented in US history.

I don't know why they got rid of that lady who headed the Secret Service.
I thought she was doing a fabulous job.

Napolitano hasn't been in Homeland Security for over a year. Jeh Johnson's the Secretary now.

Maybe Gohmert was referring to a specific statement made by Janet while she was working for DHS.

Could Congress order the fence taken down?
The Constitution has nothing to say on the matter, but then Congress has passed a LOT of laws that have no backing from our founding document.

From what I can find, she made the statement before she was at DHS, July 3, 2009.
