And this is how Obama succeeds in grabbing the power of the purse from Congress:
FOX NEWS – House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday that the House “absolutely” will take up the new Senate budget plan — even if he has to rely on mostly Democrats to pass it — and that he expects the partial government shutdown to end by Thursday.
Boehner made the comments in an interview with Cincinnati radio station WLW-AM.
“We fought the good fight. We just didn’t win,” he said.
Boehner spoke as the Senate was preparing to vote on a recently struck bipartisan deal to end the partial government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling.
The big question had been whether, if it passes the Senate, Boehner would allow it to come to the floor. Though many Republicans remain resistant to the plan, it could potentially pass with a combination of moderate Republicans and Democrats.
Asked if he’d let the House vote, even if a majority of Republicans wouldn’t support it, he said: “Oh, absolutely.”
But Boehner added he’ll encourage Republicans to support it.
“We fought the good fight. There’s no reason for our members to vote no today,” he said. Boehner said he anticipates the partial shutdown, which started Oct. 1, will be over by Thursday.
It’s up to the people and the states to save themselves from this blatant power grab. The Constitution has made a way for this to happen and we must use it.
