- acomjean 4y agoNo, it likely won't pass the senate. And get the president to not veto it should it pass the senate. These kinds of bills often get passed just to make a point. Even when they have little chance of passing. Though control of the government changes all the time so its usefull to keep an eye of whats coming. Though the "repeal the afordable care act" came close to getting passed after the senate switched.

- cmh89 4y agoThe United States governmental structural encourages obstruction. If your whole platform is 'government bad', its incredibly easy to keep the government from functioning. I don't think the constitutions writers really planned for a mainstream political party becoming anti-democracy and the basic assumption was that people elected to the government would all desire a high-functioning government while disagreeing about what that government should do.
