And So It Does

And So It Does

"Mr. Boehner's implicit argument is that the obligation of lawmakers begins and ends with posturing. Not compromising. Not moving the ball forward. And not accepting political reality and doing the responsible thing, which in this case is to maintain funding and operations at a department with 240,000 employees that oversees border and airport security, the Secret Service and dozens of other critical government functions."

The Senate could pass something, then the two versions could be reconciled.  That could then be sent the the President for approval. He could then decide if his unconstitutional actions were more critical than the operations mentioned. If he decides they are not, maybe they are not all that critical after all.
