“Repeal requires 290 votes in the House and 67 in the Senate.”
This absurd.
Every enactment of Congress is a repeal of some other code section and then a re-enactment of the section with the amended language. Where is your authority?
Article I, section 7: "Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States;[2] If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law."
Do you think four Democrats in the Senate will vote to repeal this law?
And, if they do (and if all Republicans do, too), do you imagine Obama will sign the repeal bill?
Didn’t Reid get it put into the Healthcare Bill that it would requrie 2/3rd vote of the Senate and House to alter or repeal the law?
