Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was all smiled today as Speaker John Boehner announced the Republicans would fold and pass funding for Obama’s executive amnesty plan.
Pelosi could not get it done during her reign of terror so she’s much appreciative that Boehner did it for her.
Who knew passing amnesty could be so easy?
Today House Speaker John Boehner announced the Republican House will fund Obama’s amnesty plan.
This guy needs to go.
National Review Online reported:
House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) announced that the House will vote on a clean Department of Homeland Security funding bill, which marks the conclusion of the Republican attempt to block funding for President Obama’s executive amnesty orders.
Boehner told the Republican conference that the bill will get a vote on Tuesday.
“He said Pelosi could [force a vote] but he hoped it would be done by a GOP appropriator,” a Republican congressman in the meeting tells National Review Online.
The GOP lawmaker is referring to a little-known rule, known as Rule 22, that allows any House member to force a vote on a bill if the Senate refuses to create a conference committee. Senate Democrats filibustered the creation of a conference committee on Monday evening, thwarting the process by which the House and Senate might have ironed out the differences between the DHS appropriations bills passed by the two chambers. The original House bill blocked funding for the implementation of Obama’s 2012 and 2014 executive orders on immigration. The Senate bill did not block funding for the president’s amnesty.
