U.S. House Votes to Suspend Presidential Public Funding

On January 26, the U.S. House of Representatives voted by a margin of 239 to 160 to suspend the presidential public funding program. The bill is HR 359. Although press reports say the bill repeals the program, technically the bill just says that the program is terminated for future presidential elections. No existing part of the law is actually repealed.

The vote was mostly party-line, with only one Republican voting “No” and only ten Democrats voting “Yes.” There is an identical bill in the U.S. Senate, S194, introduced by U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell.

  1. Which party hack bill/law will set things really off ???

    See the 1773 U.K. Tea Tax Act.

    See the 1854 U.S.A. Kansas-Nebraska Act.

    How many of the Yes/No party hacks were sitting next to each other in the STUNT State of the Union show ???

    P.R. and App.V. – before it is too late.

    ANY body with ANY history brain cells should be able to detect that the political alarm bells have been going off since 1929.

    See the ROT of the Roman Republic from 120 B.C. to 27 B.C. –various civil wars and tyrants and purges.
