As many of you know, the Health Care Bill HR 3590 passed last night with a 219-212 vote. That bill will be sent to the eagerly awaiting Obama to be signed. Also, the Reconciliation Bill passed which will go to the senate.
Both of these bills were on shaky ground, till certain "promises" (bribes) were put forth.
The Health Care Bill HR 3590 contains blatant bribery.  The Cornhusker kickback, the Louisiana Purchase, etc.(nicknames given to favors given by some in congress to get the votes of those representing various states).  Even with these "favors" there were still more than a few House Reps who had strong reservations about what was contained in the bill.  Low and behold, the Reconciliation Bill was born to swing the votes of those yet undecided and leaning towards no.  (Would that put the Reconciliation bill in the category of a bribe?)  And then, to insure all the bases were covered Obama promises an Executive Order concerning abortion to sway Stupak's vote to a yes. (then does that make the Executive Order a bribe?)
The whole thing stinks of skullduggery if you ask me.  I have to ask this...
If Obama signs the Health Care Bill HR 3590 into law, and knows it contains unlawful bribes in it, does that make him guilty of bribery as put forth in our Constitution?  A disqualification offense?  Oh but there is the Reconciliation Bill to take care of those bribes.  Why should another bill be introduced to "take care" of the wrongs of a bill that is KNOWINGLY wrong and passed by congress.  Sure, mistakes are made and bills need to be adjusted and amended from time to time, but HR 3590 is flawed at the gitgo, and they ALL know it,  but because of favors passed it anyway.
Harry Reid had to present a document containing the signatures of those in the senate that would pass the Reconciliation Bill to get it to pass in the house.  What if those senators change their mind and decide to really represent "the people"?  That would leave HR 3590 out there on its own, a bill that might be proved unconstitutional on more than a few issues.

Section 4 - Disqualification

It does not matter in which order Obama signs these bills.  One contains bribery, the other is a bribe and so is the proposed Executive Order.

Keep smiling Obama.  High-five your chief of staff.  Let Pelosi walk around with a grin from ear to ear.  Enjoy it while you can.  Just maybe the law of the land will actually bring about justice for We The People.

 I guess we will see.
