Trump is right again.
The Swamp doesn’t want to MAGA.
Wasting time, and trillions of dollars, is what the Senate does, Mr. President.
When is doing something because it’s what the Democrats would do, the smart thing, or the correct thing to do?
Clause 1
Each house shall be the judge of the elections, returns, and qualifications of its own members, and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business; but a small number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner, and under such penalties as each house may provide.
Clause 2
Each house may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behaviour, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member.
Yep, they can certainly operate with a simple majority.
Get rid of the filibuster? That’s one of the Deep State’s powers. Hey, Donald, listen up. It ain’t gonna happen. As George Carlin might say, the Deep State is a big club, and you ain’t in it.
The Democrats called it “The Reid Option”. I call it “The Trump Option”, Mr. President.
If Congress doesn’t pass tax reform, border wall finance, and the Obamacare roll back the republican party will go the way of the Whigs.
The Republican Party is cling hard to the filibuster rule because it is a wonderful excuse for not passing things that the Democrats don’t approve.
Turtle-neck, Flinch McConnell, is 100% to blame for the Democrats still controlling the Senate.
McConnell is a liberal piece of foolish garbage. He should have gotten rid of Filibuster Rule the first day Trump took over as President. McConnell and Ryan have to be stripped as leaders.
Article V: The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate [emphasis added].
Corrections, insights welcome.
Anyone who takes time to read about the writers of the Constitution, quickly learns that everything contained therein was battled out until the exact wording wanted resulted. They clearly called for a simple majority vote pass all legislative issues except vetoes and treaties.
The filibuster rule is contrary to the Constitution. Get rid of it.
The Senate is filled with gutless wonders, much like the ancient Roman Senate. Old men interested in power and prestige without responsibility.
Could this also change rules for conviction after impeachment? House needs simple majority, Senate needs 2/3.
And Ryan has “warned the President to not shut down the government over funding for the wall”....he and McConnell are working in tandem to thwart the President and screw the People.
