Remember this?
Anyone over the age of thirty-five has seen that video and should know that a bill cannot become a law unless Congress first passes it and sends it to the president for a signature. So, if the House Republicans don’t want the president to sign any bills that contain earmarks, they shouldn’t pass any bills that contain earmarks.
The top two House Republican leaders are calling on President Barack Obama to veto any spending bill containing earmarks, raising the stakes in a battle to claim purity on project-specific spending by Congress.
Boehner and Cantor are going to be in charge of the House. Why don’t they refuse to pass any bill that contains earmarks instead of asking the President to do their work for them?
