House To Repeal Obamacare

Nah, we'll just vote against Mutt RIMmer...

It can be but would have to get on a ballot by the people.

So what happens if Obama barely wins in 2012, and the Senate and House go to the Repubs and they repeal Obummercare. Does he just veto it and go against the voters?

Yes

Against the voters or against congress? Can't assume they are the same.

If Obama wins, it will be the voters who elect him.

A presidential veto can be overturned by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate. If the House, for example, fails to get a 2/3 majority, then the Senate doesn't bother voting.

According the the Congressional Research service, from 1789 through 2004, only 106 of 1,484 regular presidential vetoes were overridden by Congress.

Does anyone really think they would completely repeal it if they could? Only reason they even introduce the legislation is because they know it would fail, it's completely symbolic. Think about how many votes the right would lose if they took away insurance from young adults up to 26, allowed folks to be denied insurance because of pre-existing conditons, reopen the "donut hole", etc. Do away with the individual mandate ( the rights idea in the first place), leave the rest alone. Of course, then you need to figure out how to pay for it all......

I would say both. If the Senate swings to the right it would almost certainly be due to Obamacare IMO.

I'm thinking being a lame duck prez, he would just veto it.

I'll go on record saying this is going to be one of the biggest clusterfucks ever produced by our government. This will make SS look like a well oiled machine once the obamanation goes into full effect. (and then it will be Bush's fault)

The only reason to do this is to be able to scream and yell about it in their campaigns and commercials. Pure political BS and a waste of time. Why don't they try to ACCOMPLISH something instead?
