The congress and senate are ran by donors and lobbyists. Unbelievable how they can’t do ANYTHING right for this country. Trump isn’t beholden to any of the typical legal blackmail donors.

Trump may have to fall back on his pen and telephone. Meanwhile, if he doesnt get what he wants, use the VETO. Force the Senate and House to refill the swamp he is trying to empty. Let them answer to their voters.

"Democrats do not support privatizing the air traffic control system. "

So, WHY don't the Republicans just vote on it?

Democrats do not support privatizing the air traffic control system.

It is almost like the Dems have three branches of government.

I thought POTUS was going to host people at the Whitehouse who have been victims of Obamacare.

This is an old article showing that the establishment does not want to fix the problems but they want to keep spending large sums of money.

Because most of the Republicans don't approve of it either.

The Senate was once the creature of the Several States. They were elected by the various State legislatures, to represent the States’ interests, while the House of Representatives were for the peoples’ interests.

Ever since the passing of the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, April 8, 1913, that called for Direct Election of Senators, they have become nothing but pandering political puppets of the lobbyists...................

s it should be. Why? I would the lawfulness of the FAA along with ATC would come under Article 1, section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.

Just as the United States Coast Guard is responsible for allowing the flow Commerce to and from all ports and navigable waterways, the FAA in essence does the same thing only with those functions relating to the Commerce that is transported in and out of airports and the the established air routes.

IMHO. Keep in mind I am in no way shape or form a legal Authority on the Constitution. But the Coast Guard is established by the Constitution and I believe the FAA is also established by the Constitution. In that regard I therefore think that it is proper for that responsibility and authority to also belong with the government as does does the air traffic control fall under the responsibility of the government.

The Revolution needs to take the next step beyond electing Trump.

A national Fire Your Congressman movement is needed. No matter who he/she is or what party, dump them out of office. Some good babies will be thrown out with the bathwater, but you have to break a few eggs.

After 2 to 3 cycles of this perhaps they’ll start to get the message.

“The bill would add new rules for drone operation, such as an online test requirement for larger drones.”

Oooo a online test requirement, no way to cheat with that.

The Senate GOP is trying to be more RINO than the House GOP.
