Did the election mandate that the House do as they are told by the Senate?

[RetiredGySgt]

Simple enough question. Obama claimed he would compromise with the House, meanwhile the Senate has stated they will do no such thing.

So Senators have the behaviour traits of a 14 year old ... yeah...tell us something we don't already know.

Since fiscal initiatives are the job of the House, they'll have to go first and then we'll see. Whatever the Senate says doesn't relieve the House of their obligation. If they get to work on a deal, your point may be moot.

Sheesh. Everyone know that for the house, lobbyists trumps all.

The lobbyists can use the left over super pac money to lobby with.
Legal per law and tax codes.

Did the election mandate that the House do as they are told by the Senate?

No, it was a mandate to do as they are told by the voters: stop the two years of obstruction and engage in responsible governance.

Getting less than 51% of the vote is hardly a mandate for anything. The republican road block was left in place for a reason.

Alec...I want 'Totalitarian Passivists' for $1000 please.

 

[mudwhistle]

Well, since the Senate is the primary reason nothing has gotten done in over a year I don't see why we should work with them at all.

yeah for the same reason that many say Obama won.

The House should do what they think is right for America, it's up to the Senate and you know who to either cooperate or veto what is right for America.

Exactly, you lost the house, again.

Did the election "mandate" that the house do "as they are told" by the Senate?

No.

Did the election cause the Republican Party to lose a significant amount of political capital?

Yes.

And, any bill raising revenue has to originate in the house, or do you want to just throw out the Constitution and just let the commies rule?
