Republicans to Propose Constitutional Amendment Requiring Weekly Votes to Repeal Obamacare

In a joint statement released to the Associated Press, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell were quoted as saying, “We’ve heard the American people loud and clear, and they’ve said they aren’t tired of the inefficiencies of Congress. They support our hapless votes for bills that will never pass and it’s completely untrue that they’re dissatisfied with our job performance. How can the American people be unhappy with the job we’ve done, when we haven’t done anything? So in that tradition, and the only tradition Congressional Republicans have had since 2009, we plan to propose a Constitutional Amendment, which stands no chance at passing, that requires weekly votes to repeal the Constitutionally-upheld unconstitutional Obamacare!”
McConnell took it one step further, saying he promises no Republican Senator will filibuster this Amendment, because he’s only allowed to filibuster his own legislation once per year.
