Tea party in charge of avoiding shutdown in the House.

Ted Price and Ted Yoho are the one proposing the two bills which are supposed to avoid a shutdown. One is to deny Obama the right to use executive action. The other one is the funding bill.



House Republican leadership is beginning to advocate for a two-part plan to avoid a government shutdown.
They are pushing for a bill, authored by conservative Florida Rep. Ted Yoho, that responds to Barack Obama’s recent actions on immigration. The bill states that the executive branch cannot exempt “by executive order, regulation, or any other means, categories of persons unlawfully present in the United States from removal under the immigration laws

So, the border crisis was solved by giving the reins to Steve King and Michele Bachman. They try to solve the funding crisis using Ted Yoho and Price.

I guess that the Tea Party is really in charge now.
