[StBernard] Democrats could be forced into a vote according to Article 1, Section 5 of the Constitution

[Westley Annis]

Very interesting reference by a Rush Limbaugh caller who is a former deputy
U.S. Attorney.  She referenced the below article in the Constitution,
particurly the the third paragraph.  She clearly stated this particular
section of the Consitution requires a full "up or down" vote in either the
House or Senate would be required when at least one-fifth (20%) of the
members of either chamber call for any bill to be entered into the Journal.
In other words, if anything Congress does can be required by a 20% vote to
be entered into the Journal, then it "must first" have been voted on.
 
In effect, the Republican members of Congress would be forcing a vote, which
must be recorded in the Journal, as stated in the article.  If the
Republicans do this, it will be interesting to see what "bs" Pelosi does to
evade this provision of our Constitution - once again breaking her Oath of
Office to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
