You are confusing amendments to the Constitution with making/repealing laws.

The republicans merely need to hold onto the majority in both house and senate, which they will, easily. The reason the law hasn't been changed or repealed now is because the current president will not sign what the house and senate pass. They could/should impeach him, but that would be considered racist and we can't have that now can we...

So please take your conjecture and misinformation somewhere else.

Oh and just for fun. Any Republican President could simply tell the IRS to stop collecting the life tax, just like Obama tells government agencies not enforce the laws he chooses. Then the law will collapse in on itself with lack of funding and w/e democrat holdouts in the senate or house who refuse to vote for its repeal will be blamed for shutting down the government, which will happen if this scenario comes to pass.

But considering every single democrat I know is a massive hypocrite they will all whine and cry about Republicans blah blah blah.

I could see people making that claim. If they try to impeach and he hasn't done anything illegal, it would have to be either race political ideology.

Bigotry discussion
Do some of you still not see the difference when it comes to saying "tolerate my intolerance!" One group is hating because of what some people are, like sexual orientation or religion. The other is based on people's behavior. Guess which one is practical to change?

Amendments require 2/3 of both houses and state legislatures. Repealing federal laws requires a simple majority AND presidential signature or 60% to override a veto. Budget reconciliation is just the tax associated with the mandate.

Really, none of that has anything to do with Trump, which is why I asked in the first place.

Um.. That is exactly what I said..
This is what you said!
Jassik said: »
Repealing a law requires a supermajority in both houses of congress. Which means republicans will either have to win ~2/3 of both house and the presidency or stop stonewalling and come to the table with real alternatives.

Which is exactly what I said in response to your misinformation! Are you being serious right now??!! ?

Then why say this? You know full well you are wrong!
Jassik said: »
That's why the law hasn't been changed and why even Trump won't be able to get rid of it.


WOW!!!!!!!!!!

Every GOP candidate is running on that platform, thats just a cop out. What policy unique to Trump has he proposed that would make a better America?

Nope not a cop out. A cop out is you not ever posting anything relevant and thinking I need to justify anything to you. You want me to go more in depth tell me who you would vote for and why.

Am I the only one that appreciates this cop-out^2? It even attempts to change the commonly held definition of cop out. Which if he honestly believes might help to explain why he so confused over how what he failed to say is a cop out.

If you don't think you need to justify any claim you make then you shouldn't even be talking, just go live in a box where no one will question you. And you definitely shouldn't get upset if anyone makes any fallacious/ridiculous claim as no one else needs to justify anything to you as well, cant have double standards.

Think about what you said here. You basically attempted to dismantle the vehicle of intellectual discourse, and you did it all to give yourself the right to ignore a question. Thats crazy man.

Why is this so hard, repealing the law is different than reconciling the mandate tax. They can reconcile the tax, but that doesn't repeal the law and has nothing to do with Trump. Either you don't understand the difference between budget reconciliation and repealing a law or you're just being a dumbass. Either way, you never answered the question I asked, and I really don't care anymore.

To be fair I dont think you ever asked a question.

You said you need to have a super majority to repeal a law. That was wrong.

The fact of the matter is is congress can repeal the law with a majority vote. The President could stop the tax. So what exactly are you arguing couldnt happen?

You said Trump couldn't repeal the ACA without a super majority, you are wrong. I simply tossed in the reconciliation part for fun because that is ANOTHER option. You are the one spreading misinformation here.

Look.

Arguing to argue. We realize that ***is stupid and wrong, but apparently the proper way to oppose the sentiment is with a Care Bear care beam. No matter. Bigots lose in the long run one way or another.

So, it's not about bringing about a lasting change in the right way, it's about winning. Glad we got that cleared up.
Lol, really? Those two aren't mutually exclusive. Bigots should and will be laughed at.
Why do you think we all laugh at you?

Not only are you just as bigoted as the bigots, but you don't see yourself as a bigot, even if we point it out to you.

After Crushing Defeat, DNC Quirk Still Gives Hillary More New Hampshire Delegates Than Sanders


Socialism at work. It's only fair. Why should Bernie get to keep all of the delegates that he has earned? Hillary worked hard for votes too.

The DNC is so crooked. The fix was in for Hillary a long time ago. Voters be damned.

You need 60 votes to pass any kind of bill in the Senate unless its a budget reconcilation which the ACA is not. So, good luck with that.

Definitely sure not serious but this is a course available to anyone.

Considering the obesity epidemic in the US, more people should climb some trees, move some limbs, quit scarfing down Donald's droppings etc.
