Obama Pushes The Dictator Button
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2451137/posts
One week ago, just one week ago we were informed the dictator was emerging. That announcement was the trial balloon for reaction. They observed our reactions and this is now, Plan B for getting The Agenda into place.
Can someone tell me when is the last time a President actually wrote this type of legislation? Not the healthcare bill, but any type of legislation. Attached it to a another bill to get it passed at lowered threshold of approval?
Look for back door language for the public option.
Since when does the executive branch create laws?
The Constitution permits the president to submit legislation; of course, Congress gets to decude whether to amend the bill abd ultimately to pass it ir reject it (or not to vote on it at all and let it die).
reconciliation bill - A bill containing changes in law recommended pursuant to reconciliation instructions in a budget resolution. If the instructions pertain to only one committee in a chamber, that committee reports the reconciliation bill. If the instructions pertain to more than one committee, the Budget Committee reports an omnibus reconciliation bill, but it may not make substantive changes in the recommendations of the other committees. http://www.senate.gov/reference/glossary_term/reconciliation_bill.htm
Nope, says committee, not President, not the President’s Committee, not a committee appointed by the President.
I agree he’s not writing it, thats probably being done by SEIU or ACORN. Regardless it is unusual for Presidents to “write” bills.
They are only bills until the Prez signes them into laws.
He can submit legislation.
The question is can he by pass Congressional committee procedure and attach it as a Reconciliation?
Stop threatening us and do it then! I’m tired of the lame ass Democrats threatening us with this.
The Republicans should have already had their proposed bill online and they should have already been out in the public selling their ideas, hate to say it, but Obamalot is probably going to walk all over them.
This is a desperate move by a losing player. This country doesn’t need a health care bill and it CERTAINLY doesn’t need Democrats/Liberals/Socialists/Communists grabbing hold of one sixth of the American economy for no reason other than power lust.
What’s your hurry, Barack?.
Why would anyone in the O admin admit this?
It is online. http://www.gop.gov/solutions/healthcare
You make a good point of not selling it. Instead they opted for “clean sheet of paper” talking points.
This is democracy in its native form. A democracy only needs 50.1% of the vote to win. That's why we don't have a democracy. They use that term to convince the mind numbed that they are doing something legal and right.
GOP should have one message. Start Over, or Forget It.
The republicans are overall useless.
They are useless. They bristle at being labeled the party of “no.”
If they had any brains they’d embrace the word “no,” exactly what the majority of taxpayers are saying.
“My way, or the highway.”
Let them own it!
Does he realize he is not a Senator. Do we still have three branches of Government?
Obama has no business writing legislation with congress. He is not a Representative, a Senator, nor a Prime Minister!
