Those on the other side of the aisle are lucky to have him. It is sad that he had to promise Members of his Conference in writing to not address a national issue on behalf of the American people. He had to swear that he would not allow a vote on immigration reform as long as President Obama. well. is President Obama. The new Speaker had to promise to put party unity ahead of national public policy in order to be elected Speaker. One of my colleagues from Alabama. who was so vehement in his opposition to immigration. came to the floor last week to read Speaker RYANs pledge So the Congress that did nothing on immigration reform for the last 2 years will do nothing for the remainder of the Presidents term. It is really stunning. You must promise to do nothing in order to be Speaker of the House of Representatives.
