The US House of Representatives can choose AT ANY TIME what it will issue payment for, and what it will not.
So many in this country don't understand that the House of Representatives controls the country's checkbook.
If the House of Representatives has a simple vote on whether or not to fund planned parenthood, they can DE-FUND it at any time. No bill to Obama, nothing else required.
The House simply refuses to fund it, and there's NOTHING Obama and the Media can do about it.
Problem is, Ryan (like Boehner) is a COWARD and so are the rest of the GOP-E in the House. So, they resort to this political stunt and think they get "cover" from it.
Shameless.
We have seen this particular kabuki drama a few times before
Word “Kabuki” used four times in this thread. Who is fooled by these self serving A-holes anymore?
They should have been sending him so many huge bills, that he wouldn’t have time to do anything else but pass or veto them.
Maybe a few would have slipped through without his signature.
Shameless is right.....but par for the course. You’d think they would have figured out that game isn’t going to fool anyone any more. However, one would wonder if it’s a tactic unknown to us he’s using that would otherwise explain why he’s sending a “Bill” instead of simply calling a do not fund vote. Why else would he go that route unless he simply wants to say he submitted a bill....??????
We’ve learned long ago that things are not what they are appear to be.....

Or the Democrat Senate minority would filibuster it...
As a free-standing bill, it stands no chance of passage. Attached to a "must pass" bill, it risked the Democrat Senate or the President "shutting down the government", but it might have passed.
Once again, a Republican Congress is unwilling to exercise its power. Either a.) they are afraid to or b.) they are in favor of the President's actions and requests.
One is pitiful. The other is despicable.
Well, Ryan must have worked it out with Obama to make sure Obama won’t veto it.
Right?
Because otherwise it’s pure bullSSSS.
Show business! “How can we fool’em today?” crap. How’s Boner’s lawsuit against the Kenyan going Paulie?
Pfffffffffft.
USELESS
Which he will veto and thumb his nose at congress all the more. then he will find a way to shuffle more $$$ to PP.
