No they don’t. Frankly you are going off the deep end. Nothing compels the 112th congress to follow the lead of the 111th. Go back to your polly sci professors and ask them. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of our constitution. No one can make them vote for funding. No president can arrest them. No judge can convict them. No president can put them in jail. No president can dissolve the House. This is the basic theory of checks enshrined into our constitution.

This is why the soon to expire CR and the Debt Limit are so important. Without congressional authorization the government stops to a halt. The president has no standing to spend any money. Any action to spend money is unconstitutional.

Madison lives.

Unless the law is repealed the Obamacare taxes will go ahead. The insurance industry is making changes because of the law. The 112th Congress cannot just ignore Obamacare. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the Rule of Law and the Constitution.

Here is a list of taxes that have gone or will go into effect This is a couple of them.

Medicine Cabinet Tax ($5 Billion/January 2011): Americans no longer able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin).

HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike ($1.4 Billion/January 2011): Increases additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.

Obamacare can be slowed or parts of it changed, but you have to pass laws to make those changes.
