Obama Tells FOX News He’s Not Worried About Using “Deem & Pass” Trick to Ram Through Obamacare

Barack Obama told FOX News today that he was not worried about using the unconstitutional and unprecedented “deem and pass” trick to ram Obamacare through Congress without voting on it.



FOX News reported:

President Obama is not worried about the “procedural” debate over whether House Democratic leaders should go ahead with a plan to approve health care reform without a traditional vote, he told Fox News on Wednesday.

The president, in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, was responding for the first time to the controversy over a plan to use a parliamentary trick to allow the House to pass the Senate’s health care bill without forcing members to vote for it directly. The esoteric procedure has drawn fierce protest from Republicans who say Democrats are trying to avoid accountability, but the president said there will be no doubt about where lawmakers stand on health care reform.
