Heritage.org<\/a> posted a tutorial today for those of us who do not understand exactly what is involved in the reconciliation process.  Yesterday the Senate Parliamentarian ruled that a bill must be signed into law by the President before it can be changed and reconciled with the House bill.  Well, that was yesterday; this is today.  <\/p>\n

This article reports:<\/p>\n

“Reports have come out today that the Parliamentarian has not ruled that the President must sign a law before it is considered a law for reconciliation purposes. First, they came up with a strategy to get Obamacare passed in the House without the House ever voting on the bill, now they have come up with a strategy and a ruling to get the Obamacare bill to qualify as law without the President signing the law.<\/span> President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Majority Leader Reid should not support efforts to violate the clear words of the Constitution to pass Obamacare.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It should be obvious to those leaders in Congress who believe that they must pass this horrible bill that the are going against the American people and against the U.S. Constitution.  They need to find something else to focus on (or maybe we can send them all home for the rest of the year).<\/p>\n

The article points out that a bill is not a law until it is signed into law by the President.  To use the reconciliation process between the House and the Senate before a bill is law is totally unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

To try to cram this bill through in this manner is political suicide in an election year.  I hope some of the Democrats in Congress believe in self-preservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
