John Boehner
« on: March 26, 2011, 10:03:50 PM »

By the law of the United States of America, Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, is second to the Vice-President in line of succession to the presidency.

Boehner cannot lead his House to defund ObamaCare. Why is it that a "Speaker of the House" who is incapable of stiking a bill be allowed to continue in succession to the highest office in the world?

Who are those that allow this incompetent man to occupy such a responsible position? Are they not also culpable in this failure of leadership?

The Presidential Succession Law of 1947 addressed the simultaneous disability of both the president and vice president. Under this law, here are the offices and current office holders who would become president should both the president and vice president be disabled. Remember, to assume the presidency, a person must also meet all the legal requirements to serve as president.

1. Vice President of the United States
2. Speaker of the House of Representatives
3. President pro Tempore of the Senate

The secretaries of the president's Cabinet now fill out the balance of the order of presidential succession:

4. Secretary of State
5. Secretary of the Treasury
6. Secretary of Defense
7. Attorney General
8. Secretary of the Interior
9. Secretary of Agriculture
10. Secretary of Commerce
11. Secretary of Labor
12. Secretary of Health & Human Services
13. Secretary of Housing & Urban Development
14. Secretary of Transportation
15. Secretary of Energy
16. Secretary of Education
17. Secretary of Veterans' Affairs
18. Secretary of Homeland Security

The President pro tempore (pronounced /?pro? ?t?mp?ri?/[1][2] or /?pro? ?t?mp?re?/;[2][3] also referred to as President pro tem) is the second-highest-ranking official of the United States Senate and the highest-ranking Senator. The United States Constitution states that the Vice President of the United States is the President of the Senate and the highest-ranking official of the Senate even though he or she votes only in the case of a tie. During the Vice President's absence, the President pro tempore is the highest-ranking official in the Senate and may preside over its sessions. The President pro tempore is elected by the Senate and is customarily the most senior Senator in the majority party. Normally, neither the Vice President of the United States nor the President pro tempore presides; instead, the duty is generally delegated to the junior Senators of the majority party to help them learn parliamentary procedure.[4]

The remainder of Senate Democratic leadership for 2011 through 2012 will be:
* President Pro Tempore, Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii
"As President pro tempore, Senator Inouye will continue to provide the Democratic Caucus leadership and experience gained from a lifetime of public service."

My thought deliberating Boehner is complete, the liberal press was correct, he's a wimpy crybaby that shouldn't be Speaker of the House. ::gaah::

A better question would be why let the imcompetent leaders of a minority be allowed to lead a majority. Put it this way when presidents are replaced, must they keep the previous losers from the previous cabinet? Hell no so why not elect an entirely different leadership and start fresh. If seniority has taught us anything it has taught us ______________________...
