And So, Why is John Boehner Still Speaker?
My friend Grumpy, at Grumpy Opinions, is asking why John Boehner is still speaker.
In November 2014 voters gave the Republican Party the biggest majority they’d had since 1928, and one assignment: Stop the unconstitutional actions of Barack Obama..
On March 3, 2015, Benjamin Netanyahu gave an historic speech to the United States Congress. When he was done, Speaker of The House John Boehner, along with 75 Republican Conspirators and all of the House Democrats passed a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security that legitimized the most Illegal, Unconstitutional and possibly treasonous action any President of the United States has ever attempted. All but 167 out of 435 House Members violated the oath of office they’d taken two months before and agreed to finance Obama’s illegal and unconstitutional Amnesty.
The 167 Members who voted with the Constitution, National Security and the wishes of the American People were all Republicans. More than two thirds of the Speaker’s own party voted against him and to keep the promise they, and the Speaker Boehner had made to the American people.
In any world outside of Washington DC, the first logical move the 167 Republicans would have made after the vote, would have been to replace Boehner as Speaker. The vote made it pretty obvious he was siding against the Constitution, the American People and the wishes of his Members.
When I woke up this morning and found Boehner was still Speaker, I started thinking about how we got to where we are..
Last November, almost before all the votes were counted, Boehner, who the week before had promised to fight the Presidents amnesty “Tooth and Nail” was already wavering.
Then in December, he pushed through a bill that would fully fund the government for a year, with the exception of Homeland Security, which included Obama’s Amnesty.
Homeland Security was only funded until the end of February. Boehner promised that in February he’d use the power of the purse to put an end to Obama’s scheme to flood our borders with illegal Aliens..
Voters started realizing they’d been swindled…
