Mr. Speaker, Stop Running a Deadbeat Congress, and #PassABill!

One of the critical moments of last night's Presidential speech was when the President told Congress to "pass a bill" if they don't like his executive orders. It's important to remember (and it should have been an election theme) that the House had over a year to pass anything, or even to vote down something. They never even had a vote. Basically, Speaker John Boehner and his clown show of a House collected paychecks for no work.

It's important to know that because at any point, the House can pass a bill, and legislation trumps executive orders. They won't though because they can't. When the failed House Speaker talks about the President "over-stepping his bounds" or whatever else, he's posturing to cover his own failures. Presidents can issue executive orders about functions of the government. That's their right. Maybe John Boehner should do his job too, and pass legislation that can possibly become law.
