Obama’s Amnesty: How They Voted vs. What They SaidDan Holler | December 14, 2014 Saturday night, the Senate voted on a constitutional point of order raised by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Heritage Action’s chief executive officer Michael A. Needham explained the vote this way: “If Senators are opposed to President Obama’s executive action on immigration, they should vote in favor of Sen. Cruz’s constitutional point of order. A vote against the point of order is a vote in favor of unchecked presidential power and granting work permits and Social Security numbers to people who are in the country illegally.”While 22 Republican Senators voted to uphold the constitutional point of order, 20 Republican Senators joined with 54 Democrats in voting against the point of order. Three Republicans and one Democrat did not vote. heritageaction.com/2014/12/obamas-amnesty-how-they-voted-vs-what-they-said/

Conservatives Lambaste 20 GOP Senators Who Voted for AmnestyDecember 17, 2014 - 2:38 PM, By Barbara Hollingsworth “To overcome a Senate cloture vote, the minority party, Republicans in this case, needs only 41 votes to stop a bill. The Senate cloture vote on the ‘cromnibus’ was the only opportunity for the bill to be stopped without Democrat support,” explained Gaston Mooney, executive editor of Conservative Review. “In politics, there is nothing more defining than a vote,” Mooney wrote, pointing out that Senate Republicans could have defeated the bill if they chose to do so. cnsnews.com/news/article/barbara-hollingsworth/conservatives-lambaste-20-gop-senators-who-voted-amnesty
