Pelosi To Use Power of the Speaker To Raise Obama Statue on Capitol Hill

Democrat Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has announced plans to make use of a veto-proof, no congressional approval required power that is available to her position – The Power of the Speaker. And she’s using it to have a bronze statue of traitor president Barack Hussein Obama placed dead center atop the steps on Capitol Hill.

Power of the Speaker allows a process free purchase of the representative’s choice “for item(s) to be used in the capital”. This power, though constitutionally guaranteed by Article 13 Section 8, is rarely used as it is seen by the public for what it is – a way to circumvent congressional oversight of government purchases. 

The last time such a purchase was made was in 1931 by Democrat Speaker A.Nelsecks for home brew equipment that would allow the nation’s elected officials to get sloshed during prohibition. 

Pelosi has also suggested that the statue will make the senate appear more heavenly and that “Stairway To Heaven” would be appropriate “ascending music” to be played on a loop 24/7.

While that selection was popular with both parties, this one is not. The GOP, led by Philadelphia republican commissar Sasha Sandhu, has raised strong concerns  about frivolous expenditures, especially those not involving morally questionable indulgences available at a bipartisan level. 

“While we realize the Power is Constitutional, that does not mean it’s right. When first enacted in 1784,  the Speaker  purchases included ergonomic chairs for comfort during marathon sittings and slurpee dispensers for same. Now the democrats want to use this discretionary power to boastfully rub in our faces a president more popular than our own …..and that will not do.”

The purchase would appear to be a done deal as neither congress nor the President himself can stop it by any known legal means. We can only hope that President Trump has an ace up his sleeve that will keep this monstrosity out of public view.
