WASHINGTON, July 28 (UPI) -- U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., submitted a resolution Tuesday calling for the ouster of Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, as speaker of the house, saying the leader's actions have caused the power of Congress to "atrophy."

The resolution accuses Boehner of bypassing the majority of Congress by centralizing decision making.

"The speaker has, through inaction, caused the power of Congress to atrophy, thereby making Congress subservient to the executive and judicial branches, diminishing the voice of the American people," the resolution read.

Meadows also says Boehner punishes members who vote according to their own conscience, not according to the speaker's will.

1. Fight fight fight

Two men enter. One man leaves.

3. They are probably worried...

Boehner won't shut down the government - their creamy dreamy wish!

Republican Congressional power is 'atrophied' when legislation like annual budgets takes place.

It's going to be an interesting September/October.

And the Federal government is right now actually using financial balancing act to keep the government from going into default right now!

We still have 'raising the debt limit' ahead!

4. Elected in 2012 by Tea Party enabled gerrymandering, Meadows is sanctimonious GOP slime.

In short they deserve each other.

6. Also the guy responsible for the shutdown.

(well, leadership decided to give him and and his friends a lesson, but apparently, the lesson did not work.

[Mass]

5. LOL. You mean the asylum is still there?

I remember a couple of tea party people told me that there would be no drama now Cantor was out!

May be he was not the only problem.

7. Did someone threaten to take away his HOUSE PAC funding for his re-election warchest?

This sounds weird and personal--like Boehner told him to "heel" and he tried to strike at the king.

Thing is, if you try to kill the king, you'd better succeed.

If you don't, they'll come for you!!!


What a moron:

Meadows also says Boehner punishes members who vote according to their own conscience, not according to the speaker's will.

Sur-prize, sur-prize, Gomer!

It's called "party discipline" and it's what all those fatcat donors are paying for! Good grief--this guy doesn't get how the system works....he's a-gonna be "primaried" if he doesn't start playing ball right quick.

8. He's the darling of our local NC kingmaker Art Pope so he can pretty much do whatever and get the $$

Not sure how the Koch establishment views him but he has all the right wing loony cred you could ask for. Not likely to get primary challenged in his district since he's just the kind of I'm-not-beholden-to-the-Beltway-Crowd asshole they love. Best we can hope for is either he can't keep it in his pants or keep his hands off the election funds which seems to fit his "type" all too often.

9. Ya never know! If Bonehead has some dirt on him and sends a Scooter-Libby-type to talk to the

right reporter, his sure thing could turn into a load of pure shit!!

Remember this guy? He had the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow....

BOOM--he got outta town in a hurry!!!

10. Isn't this a type of corruption?

Boehner punishes members who vote according to their own conscience, not according to the speaker's will.

Define punishment here? Never mind. It really doesn't matter, does it.

[47of74]

11. Yep, I'm breaking out the popcorn too.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

12. I'm waiting for them to start squealing on each other....

They have considered criminal behavior to be "business as usual" for so long that they forget they're committing crimes.

[question everything]

13. Is that why I saw him crying, again, recently? (nt)
