Assume The GOP Controls The Congress...

what will the major pieces of legislation be that they send to Obama's desk for a signature?
I have heard almost no talk of what the GOP has as a plan if, or when, they take back the Congress.

Are Boehner and McConnell still in charge?

I would be happy with a budget to start things off.
Posted on 10/29/14 at 9:49 am to DeltaDoc
there are over 300 bills passed by the House that are sitting on Harry Rieds desk not getting brought up for a vote in the Senate, they can start there.

The first thing they need to do is send a budget. how many years has it been since a budget was submitted?

There will be no signatures.
I would expect Obama will instantly take action on immigration with the intent to draw the Republicans into a fight.
If they can resist, they should push, bipartisan, pro-growth strategies ie. energy policy with keystone pipeline, corporate tax reduction, school option, than start nibbling on Obamacare(med. device tax).

It will be the same as it is now. Not a damn thing will get done and Obama will try to use EO's to push through what he can.

You know, this is a great question. Republicans are portrayed as being "the Party of NO." Why don't they get together and prioritize a list of action items? Rather than criticize things, offer solutions and a roadmap to get America back on track.
I know it wasn't perfect, but I liked the Contract with America back in 1994 when Republicans became the majority Party in the House.
Not perfect, but I like a plan and it would be a good start.

Proponents say the Contract was revolutionary in its commitment to offering specific legislation for a vote, describing in detail the precise plan of the Congressional Representatives, and broadly nationalizing the Congressional election. Furthermore, its provisions represented the view of many conservative Republicans on the issues of shrinking the size of government, promoting lower taxes and greater entrepreneurial activity, and both tort reform and welfare reform. Critics of the Contract describe it as a political ploy and election tool designed to have broad appeal while masking the Republicans' real agenda and failing to provide real legislation or governance.
quote:
The fate of the proposals in the Contract were mixed with some becoming law while some failed to pass the House or the Senate or were vetoed by President Clinton.

Personally, I will be ecstatic if gridlock results in no law being created for two years.
While everyone is bitching about partisanship in D.C. causing nothing to get done, I believe it is a testament to the genius of the drafters of the Constitution.

It will be a bunch of symbolic crap that has zero chance of passing.
Which actually isn't a bad thing since the less they pass, the happier I am.
