They’ve tried a number of times, but finally got an Obamacare repeal bill to President Barack Obama’s desk this week.
As expected, Obama vetoed the bill. It was the first time, however, that Congress managed to get an Obamacare repeal to the president’s desk. Members of both houses have discussed a repeal dozens of times and passed bills to do so. Rep. Richard Hudson, R-8, and Virginia Foxx, R-5, both issued statements publicly praising the bill. Hudson also denounced Obama’s veto.
Hours after November’s Paris attacks as suspicion arose that one of the dead terrorists was a Syrian refugee, U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., told his staff it was time to act on a proposal he’d been mulling: to temporarily block some asylum-seekers until more security checks are added to the United States’ national refugee-screening regime.
Republicans in the House of Representatives who quickly pushed through a bill late last year to temporarily halt Syrian and Iraqi refugees from entering the United States want the Senate majority leader to bring up the measure for a vote soon after the upper body reconvenes Monday.
