Eric Cantor Will Resign From Congress

8/1/2014

0 Comments

 
In a statement released by Eric Cantors office today, Cantor announced that he would resign from office on August 18, 2014. 

"It is with tremendous gratitude and a heavy heart that I have decided to resign from Congress, effective Aug. 18," Cantor said Friday in a statement issued by his office. "During this time of transition for me and my family, it is my foremost desire to ensure that representation is maintained for the people of the 7th District."

Eric Cantor who is now the former Majority Leader lost in a unset primary battle two months ago. Eric Cantor today was succeeded by Kevin McCarthy as Majority Leader of the House.

Eric Cantor was seen as the likely successor of Speaker Boehner for the Speaker of the House position in the future. Now that he lost that door is obviously closed. If Eric Cantor wants to continue a career in politics there is four routs he could take. 

  1. He could run for his old Congressional seat in 2016.
  2. He could run for Governor of Virginia in 2017.
  3. He could run for the U.S. Senate for Virginia in 2018.
  4. The final feasible option is Eric Cantor could quite politics all together and become a lobbyist.

Kevin McCarthy Becomes House Majority Leader

8/1/2014

Picture
Today California Representative Kevin McCarthy officially became the House of Representatives new Majority Leader. 

Kevin McCarthy previously was the House's Majority Whip but after a surprise primary loss by the now former Majority Leader Eric Cantor the spot was left open. Kevin McCarthy was able to secure enough House votes to elect him the new Majority Leader. 

Louisiana Representative Steve Scalise also became the new House Majority Whip since McCarthy became the Majority Leader.

McCarthy becomes the Majority Leader of the House during a very tough time in the federal government. Immigration reform is running rampant across the White House and Congress, President Obama is being sued by the House, and its during a key election year. Being the number two spot in the House also gives McCarthy a clear path to become Speaker of the House in the future.

Speaker John Boehner Slams President Obama Over Immigration

7/10/2014

0 Comments

 
With President Obama not taking immigration reform seriously, Republicans at all government levels are getting very angry with the President. Obama is going around the country blaming Republicans for not compromising and working with him to get immigration reform passed. We all know that's not true. Obama is the President of no, the President that believes its his way or the highway. Throughout Obama's term it has been evident that he does not compromise at all and Speaker Boehner has had enough of the blame game that Obama preaches. 
Speaker John Boehner sharply criticized President Barack Obama for failing to take responsibility for the growing humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border.
“This is a problem of the president’s own making. He’s been president for five-and-half years. When is he going to take responsibility for something?” the Ohio Republican said at a press conference on Thursday.

John Boehner Suing President Obama 

6/25/2014

0 Comments

 
House Speaker John Boehner said he plans to move forward with a lawsuit against President Barack Obama for misusing executive powers.
“The Constitution makes it clear that a president’s job is to faithfully execute the laws. In my view, the president has not faithfully executed the laws,” the Ohio Republican said on Wednesday. “When there are conflicts like this between the legislative branch and the administrative branch, it’s … our responsibility to stand up for this institution.”

There is no doubt in anyone's mind that Barack Obama is overreaching his power. He is the President not a King. The problem I see is how far will this lawsuit really go. Is it going to be a real lawsuit or just one of this political games that wont go very far.

Today Republican House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy of California was voted in as the next Majority Leader of the House of Representatives. Republican Congressman Steve Scalise of Louisiana was also voted in as the next Majority Whip.

Last week Majority Leader Eric Cantor announced he will be stepping down on July 31, 2014 as Marjory leader due to his primary lost against his tea party challenger. On August 1, 2014 Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise will take their new positions.

Kevin McCarthy

Two men are competing for the seat to be second in command in the House of Representatives. Congressman Raul Labrador was elected in 2010 and represents Idaho's 1st district. He is backed by the Tea Party. Congressman Kevin McCarthy was elected in 2007 from California's 23rd district. McCarthy is also the House Majority Whip. Which is the 3rd ranked leadership position in the House of Representatives. 

Its rather unlikely that Raul Labrador gets elected as the House Majority Leader. The day after Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost in a primary, Kevin McCarthy was working to gather up votes from House Republicans.
