At his weekly press conference today, Speaker Boehner addressed the president’s recent comments that he has a pen and a phone to assert his executive authority: “Instead of looking to work together, the president this week reminded people that he has – quote – ‘a pen and a phone.’  I would remind the president he also has a Constitution, and an oath of office that he took where he swore to faithfully execute the laws of our country.  We have a system of government here, and a system of laws, and a Constitution that we’re all required to abide by.  No reason that this year can’t be a bipartisan year to work on the issue of our economy, and get Americans back to work.” To help echo Speaker Boehner’s message, like and share our latest graphic on Facebook and Google+.
