House vs. Senate

     President Obama recently said he was going to legislate immigration reform because Congress was not doing the job.  I am strongly opposed to any President using executive orders to legislate, but he may have a point.  Just where is the problem in Congress?  Let’s take a look at the facts.  Here are some bills that have been passed by the house.

H.Con.Res.1 - H.Con.Res.72 - H.Con.Res.96 - H.J.Res.70 - H.J.Res.71 - H.J.Res.72 - H.J.Res.73 - H.J.Res.75 - H.J.Res76 - H.J.Res.77 - H.J.Res.79 - H.J.Res.80 - H.J.Res.84 - H.J.Res.85 - H.J.Res.89 - H.J.Res.90 - H.J.Res.99 - H.R.3 - H.R.5 - H.R. 6 - H.R.7 - H.R.10 - H.R.42 - H.R.43 - H.R.126 - H.R.180 - H.R.235 - H.R.253 - H.R.255 - H.R.271 – H.R.272 - H.R.273 - H.R.291 - H.R.298 - H.R.301 - H.R.311 - H.R. 313 - H.R.330 - H.R.338 - H.R.356 - H.R.357 - H.R.367 - H.R.384 - H.R.412 - H.R.444 - H.R.503 - H.R.507 - H.R.520 - H.R.570 - H.R.592 - H.R.624 - H.R.627 - H.R.634 - H.R.668 - H.R.671 - H.R.674 - H.R.697 - H.R.701 - H.R.723 - H.R.742 - H.R.749 - H.R.756 - H.R.761 - H.R.801 - H.R.807 - H.R.850 - H.R.863 - H.R.876 - H.R.882 - H.R.841 - H.R.885 - H.R.890 - H.R.899 - H.R.930 - H.R.938 - H.R.967 - H.R.982 - H.R.992 - H.R. 993 - H.R.1033 - H.R.1035 - H.R.1038 - H.R.1062 - H.R.1067 - H.R.1068 - H.R.1073 - H.R.1095 - H.R.1098 - H.R.1105 - H.R.1120 - H.R.1123 - H.R.1157 - H.R.1155 - H.R.1158 - H.R.1162 - H.R.1163 - H.R.1204 - H.R.1206 - H.R.1211 - H.R.1216 - H.R.1232 - H.R.1233 - H.R.1241 - H.R.1256 - H.R.1281 - H.R.1300 - H.R.1341 - H.R.1376 - H.R.1391 - H.R.1405 - H.R.1406 - H.R.1410 - H.R.1411 - H.R.1423 - H.R.1447 - H.R.1458 - H.R.1459 - H.R.1501 - H.R.1513 - H.R.1526 - H.R.1542 - H.R.1564 - H.R.1580 - H.R.1582 - H.R.1613 - H.R.1660 - H.R.1671 - H.R.1679 - H.R.1684 – H.R.1707 - H.R.1742 - H.R.1791 - H.R.1797 - H.R.1813 - H.R.1814 - H.R.1846 - H.R.1864 - H.R.1865 - H.R.1871 - H.R.1872 - H.R.1874 - H.R.1896 - H.R. 1897 - H.R.1900 - H.R.1919 - H.R.1949 - H.R.1960 - H.R.1961 - H.R.1963 - H.R.1965 - H.R.1992 - H.R.2009 - H.R.2011 - H.R.2061 - H.R.2072 - H.R.2083 - H.R.2112 - H.R.2126 - H.R.2166 - H.R.2189 - H.R.2197 - H.R.2203 - H.R.2216 - H.R.2217 - H.R.2218 - H.R.2231 - H.R.2259 - H.R.2274 - H.R.2279 - H.R.2337 - H.R.2353 - H.R.2374 - H.R.2397 - H.R.2413 - H.R.2449 - H.R.2481 - H.R.2527 - H.R.2530 - H.R,2531 - H.R.2548 - H.R.2565 - H.R.2575 - H.R.2600 - H.R.2609 - H.R.2640 - H.R.2641 - H.R.2652 - H.R.2655 - H.R.2668 - H.R.2672 - H.R.2719 - H.R.2728 - H.R.2754 - H.R.2768 - H.R.2769 - H.R.2824 - H.R.2844 - H.R.2848 - H.R.2879 - H.R.2919 - H.R.2942 - H.R.2954 - H.R.3008 - H.R.3096 - H.R.3102 - H.R.3110 - H.R.3174 - H.R.3189 - H.R.3193 - H.R.3205 – H.R.3211 - H.R.3212 - H.R.3223 - H.R.3301 - H.R.3308 - H.R.3309 - H.R.3329 - H.R.3350 - H.R.3361 - H.R.3362 - H.R.3366 - H.R.3375 - H.R.3448 - H.R.3468 - H.R.3470 - H.R.3472 - H.R.3474 - H.R.3509 - H.R.3521 - H.R.3530 - H.R.3548 - H.R.3578 - H.R.3584 - H.R.3590 - H.R.3610 - H.R.3628 - H.R.3675 - H.R.3682 - H.R.3695 - H.R.3765 - H.R.3786 - H.R.3811 - H.R.3826 - H.R.3964 - H.R.3973 - H.R.3998 - H.R.4002 - H.R.4005 - H.R.4015 - H.R.4028 - H.R.4031 - H.R.4058 - H.R.4080 - H.R.4092 - H.R.4118 - H.R.4138 - H.R.4167 - H.R.4194 - H.R.4199 - H.R.4225 - H.R.4228 - H.R.4261 - H.R.4268 - H.R.4278 - H.R.4292 - H.R.4323 - H.R.4360 - H.R.4366 - H.R.4386 - H.R.4412 - H.R.4413 - H.R.4414 - H.R.4435 - H.R.4438 - H.R.4453 - H.R.4457 - H.R.4486 - H.R.4487 - H.R.4573 - H.R.4587 - H.R.4631 - H.R.4660 - H.R.4681 - H.R.4745 -   H.R.4801 -  H.R.4810 -  H.R.4870  - H.R.4899

     I believe that is 291 bills.  These bills address every situation existing in this country today.  What do they all have in common?  They have all been passed in the House and they all are stuck in the Senate with no action taken on them. 
     I am not saying all these bills are good bills.  I don’t even know what some of them are.  What I am saying is that these bills should be put to a vote in the Senate.  If voted down, fine.  If passed, the President must sign them or veto them.  The Senate can also amend the bill, pass it, and send it back to the House, but we must follow the process.  Harry Reed and the liberal political elite refuse to take any action.  This is total negligence in my opinion, and should be criminal.  But, even if it were criminal, our present Department of Justice would do nothing.   
     The biggest joke is the President saying Congress is not doing its job and blaming the Republicans in the House.  This is just political propaganda for the gullible and uninformed.  Any idiot can see that the Senate is obviously the problem, and the situation must be corrected.  Maybe it can be corrected this fall with our votes.
