Bachmann blocks resolution declaring Hawaii to be Obama’s birthplace.
Today, Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-HI) introduced a resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood. The resolution also proclaims the state as President Obama’s birthplace, a point the Plum Line’s Greg Sargent noted may “put House GOPers who are flirting with birtherism in a jam.” This afternoon on the House floor, Abercrombie spoke of his measure and specifically noted that Obama had been born in Hawaii. “It’s also going to be the birthday in a week or so of President Obama, born in Kapiolani hospital just down the road from where I lived,” he said. Just as the presiding chair of the House, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), was about to declare the resolution passed by voice vote, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) stood and objected:

BACHMANN: Mr. Speaker? I object to the vote on the grounds that a quorum is not present and make a point of order that a quorum is not present. [...]

REP. ELIJAH CUMMINGS (D-MD): Further procedings on this motion will be postponed.

Watch it:


H. Res. 593, a resolution “recognizing and celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the entry of Hawaii into the Union as the 50th State,” contains this provision: “Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii”

She's such a nutcase.

She's such a nutcase.

No shit.

A douchebag wrapped up in a marshmallow engima cover with salty nuts for brain matter.

 

[Midnight Marauder]

Should there be votes without a quorum? That seems to be the issue here.

Why is this arguement still going on?

H. Res. 593, a resolution “recognizing and celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the entry of Hawaii into the Union as the 50th State,” contains this provision: “Whereas the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, was born in Hawaii”

Why does it contain that provision? WHat is the significance of that?

Rub the dingbat birthers noses in reality.

Again... this simply shows that the ideological Left is projecting the SYMBOL of a resolution which tries to establish FACT from ethereal FICTION; they have absolutely NO EVIDENCE that the BOY King was born in Hawaii... YET, there is the Ideological Left coming to DEMAND that such is FACT... and doing so through a backhanded run at legislating it as such.

It's DECEPTION... plain and simple; and such which simply adds to the litanny of evidence which conclusively ESTABLISHES the ideological left as the pure embodiment of absolute CORRUPTION; which stands at the foundation of the intellectual certainty as to why Leftist governance HAS NEVER WORKED and why it CAN NEVER WORK... Leftism, on the whole, is, quite simply: a LIE.

 

[Bullypulpit]

Bachman is bat-shit crazy anyways. Why anyone pays attention to anything she says is beyond me entirely.

 

[dilloduck]

Please list the sane ones for us.

 

[DamnYankee]

Please list the sane ones for us.

Geez... Probably gonna be invisible ink...

 

[PubliusInfinitum]

Please list the sane ones for us.

Well to do that, the idiot would need to take an actual STAND on some set of principles... and given that leftists have no means to recognize principle... that's gonna be a toughy.

Yeah, you know, except for the fact that he would have to prove his eligibility in all fifty states to get on the ballot.

Get over it. There's no conspiracy.

Bachmann said the city council in my city had been "taken over by the gays" because one gay councilman got elected. What a maroon.

 

[Midnight Marauder]

Once they followed their own rules and waited one day for a quorum, the matter passed 378-0.

Just for the record.
