In reply to the discussion: Question for those callling the shutdown an act of sedition [View all]onenote
(42,675 posts)Keep in mind that just as the House refuses to pass the Senate's CR, the Senate refuses to pass the House CR and the President has said he would veto a bill, even if passed by both the House and Senate, if it touches the ACA.
Each of those positions is perfectly legal. The position of the Senate and the President, drawing the line where they have chosen to draw it, is entirely defensible and faced with the reality, the House republicans need to move on or face the wrath of the electorate. But nothing in the Constitution requires them to be the one to blink in a stalemate between and among the House, Senate and President.
All of which brings me back to my question:
For those that think what the House repubs are doing breaks the law, how do they, consistent with the Constitution, break the stalemate.
