A main objective of the Republican Congress must be to define the public interest, and force Democrats to vote against the public interest in order to support Obama.Obamacare repeal? May get a vote, if it does will be vetoed and cant override so will be symbolic more than anything.
Its one thing for Obama to veto a repeal of the ACA, and its another thing to veto the Republican alternative to ACA which will come out after SCOTUS declares that Obama cant violate ACA by subsidizing insurance bought on the Federal exchange. What, is SCOTUS actually going to hold that the plain text of ACA doesnt mean what it says??? I sure hope not!
Roberts already ignored the constitution to make Obamacare “legal”... I have no faith the SCOTUS will invalidate the law just because it violates itself.
Just 60.
Sorry for not replying earlier. Had some work to do.
Article 1, Section 7 of Constitution
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; 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. But in all such cases the votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the journal of each House respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a law.
2/3 of Senate = 67
My mistake, and thanks.
It’s 60 to prevent a filibuster.
