GOP Hope & Change: Republican Controlled House Will Open Congress With Reading of US Constitution

Reading its fine, but there should be a comprehension test following.

When the 112th Republican controlled Congress opens, they will read the US Constitution. What a difference that will be from the Pelosi run Congress. Speaker to be  John Boehner offers “We the People” a change that is needed. One wonders whether most of the members of Congress have ever read the US Constitution.

The Constitution frequently gets lip service in Congress, but House Republicans next year will make sure it gets a lot more than that – the new rules the incoming majority party proposed this week call for a full reading of the country’s founding document on the floor of the House on Jan. 6.

The goal, backers said, is to underscore the limited-government rules the Founders imposed on Congress – and to try to bring some of those principles back into everyday legislating.

 The Gateway Pundit states, “they really need to hand out some copies, too.” We’ll go one further, all members of Congress should be made to ready, study, understand and learn the US Constitution. There will be a test the first week of the 112th Congress.
