HR 3 is the GOP's attempt to overthrow the government

It is the bill that says a presidential license isn't required to build the Keystone pipeline.

If the Republicans can get this shit through, why couldn't they also slip a clause into a critical bill declaring presidential approval isn't necessary to repeal bills, or requiring all laws sunset and require reapproval by Congress...which would mean the end of every agency and program the GOP hates - and since they hate everything but the Defense Department and the Border Patrol...

The president has no choice but to slap this thing down hard, and to start questioning the patriotism of the communist legislators who hate America so much they would attempt to destroy her this way.

I wish it would not be that way as well.but that is dreaming about a luxury which would be available if people were educated and then were allowed to act on their knoledge.

It seems we have no control over what this Congress is doing, and will do..

I am shocked at the things they are getting away with!

I hope the POTUS will wake up soon..
