I never said they were subservient. I merely pointed out that the House in and of itself cannot pass any bills into law.You made it sound like they can.One could say the same for the Senate and the President.They were also sent to Washington with a purpose.I find it curious how the House Tea Party Republicans seem to think they speak for all Americans.They don't. They only speak for their districts. I had no intention of making it sound that way, I simply pointed out that the constitution gives specific powers to each body. Do you know why? The house got the power of the purse because they are the most direct link to the people. The senate is/was supposed to represent the states interests that they were appointed and then later, elected from. That is why they get things like advise and consent. Yes the house republicans speak for the districts that elected them. There just happens to be more of them this time around. The system is working exactly as advertised.
