The Futility of House of Representative Claims

Open Email to Political Associate:

Dear Political Associate,
You have been impressed with Ann Wagner, House of Representative for the Second District of Missouri.
I have read Rep. Wagner's recent newsletter and note the following:
1. She is supporting a bipartisan solution that will quickly and compassionately reunite border children with their families in their homeland.   
2. It’s past time to secure the border. She is a cosponsor of legislation that will instruct the Department of Homeland Security to finally secure our southern border. She is also calling for the President to send the National Guard to assist in these efforts.  
3. House Republicans will not give the president a blank check - only limited funding to deal with this crisis.

This rhetoric is very similar to that of Sarah Palin, except that Sarah Palin goes somewhat further in calling for the impeachment of Pres. Obama.
Another similarity is that neither of their efforts will go anywhere.
Let's take Ann Wagner House Republican first.
A bipartisan solution to reunite border children with their families in their homeland will not go anywhere. It will be only a request to the President from the House, and Pres. Obama will ignore it. Cosponsoring registration that will instruct the Department of Homeland Security to finally secure the southern border will equally go nowhere; Harry Reid in the democratically controlled Senate will not allow a floor vote. House Republicans may not give the Presiden t a blank check, but he will overspend the allocated amount by use of an executive order claiming that the border situation is a national crisis.
Now let's take a look at Sarah Palin's claim for impeachment of Pres. Obama.
The House may impeach the President by a simple majority vote. The impeached President is then subject to trial by the Senate. To remove the president from office, a two thirds vote is required in the Senate, which is impossible under Senate Democratic rule, with Harry Reid in charge.
Therefore, neither the proposals of Rep. Wagner nor Sarah Palin can effectively accomplish anything under present conditions of leadership in the Senate. The key will be the November election, with the necessity of strongly ousting Democrats from the Senate and replacing them with Republicans. At that point, an impeachment followed by a conviction could remove Pres. Obama from office. With respect to legislation, that will still go nowhere, because although bills may be passed by both the House and Senate, they will likely still be vetoed by Pres. Obama. He will similarly ignore all requests from the Legislature that he doesn't like.
