Citing the “unwarranted thwarting of the will of the people by the Republicans in the House,” Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) unveiled what she called “an expedited legislative procedure.” Under this procedure, a so-called “full employment caucus” comprised of Democratic lawmakers will draft Executive Orders and pass them on to President Obama for his signature.
“We cannot sit by idly while the GOP uses out-dated clauses of the Constitution to block the initiatives of the Administration,” Jackson said. “By gathering the true representatives of voters into our caucus we can ensure that the President’s will prevails over obstructionism.”
Jackson went on to point out that “as long as everyone is willing to comply with the president’s executive orders they have the same impact as an Act of Congress. We’ll be able to bypass Congressional gridlock and get things moving.”
Included among the items under consideration for this expedited procedure are an increase in the minimum wage, extending unemployment benefits, loosening the restrictions on food stamps, and amnesty for immigrants in this country illegally. “Removing these impediments to prosperity is essential if the president’s vision for America is to be realized,” Jackson asserted.

It is a good thing breathing is involuntary. This woman is too stupid to attempt such a thing. If you want to see the worst America has to offer visit the districts these idiots represent. They are the most crime infested, poverty stricken, poorly educated, and government dependent cesspools on par with the slums of Santiago.
nice one John. I come to read the replies, and you never cease to get under someone’s skin, before they figure it out.

Thank God this is satire, but we’re sooo close.... soooo close to this being reality.
“out-dated clauses of the Constitution”
Uh, there are no ‘out-dated’ clauses of the Constitution, dummy. Maybe the ‘out-dated’ clauses of the Constitution can be found on the flag that our astronauts put on Mars?
Me thinks Sheila does not know what an Executive Order is
Your satire is at least a year too late reality and Herr Obozo.
This is not satire.
There’s a problem calling this article satire. It is too close to the truth to be satire.
Queen Sheila the Fat is a step behind the curve. As of now, employment is an evil thing, leading to “job lock.”
Get with it, Queenie.
This is something I would expect the left to try sooner or later
Ah yes, Sheila Jackson Lee, another shining member of The Socialist Party of America, and a Congresswoman, (isn’t that being a bit of a traitor?).
