110th Congress Passes No President Left Behind Act

In a surprise sequel to the string of legislative successes encapsulated in the 110th Congress's "100 hours" platform, House lawmakers today passed the groundbreaking No President Left Behind Act (NPLB) by a vote of 381-41. The bill, which has broad bipartisan support, is expected to go to the Senate on Wednesday where passage is widely anticipated. President Bush had earlier vowed to veto the measure, but Congress is predicted to have sufficient votes to override.



NPLB, according to co-sponsors Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), is a response to "the dangerous slide in presidential performance America has experienced in recent decades, with the deterioration reaching a critical level in the new millennium."

2. Why not just reinstate the constitution, return the office as

one of three co-equal branches instead of an "unitary executive", and the reinstate the rule of law?

3. Blasphemy to the ears of this administration.

I like that that this NPLB will give Bush a chance to get up to speed a bit and give him some targets.

Can't wait until February 15 when this happens ;)

6. Me too....

Unfortunately, it would take a major brainfart by the repelicans to let that pass through Congress. It would have to be a huge brainfart the size of...well, say like invading a country under false pretense with no plan for success. Wait! They've done that! So there is some hope...
