The 113th Congress is a disgrace, having passed fewer bills than ever in modern history; refusing to cooperate on anything with President Barack Obama, and now unwilling to take action to back the President with a formal war resolution against ISIL (ISIS) in the period leading up to the Midterm Elections, and even in the lame duck period after the election and until the 114th Congress convenes in January!
This is a disgrace, as it is the job of Congress to work with the President on war issues, and all they care about is campaigning, and keeping their jobs, with the great salary and benefits!
Since the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, controls the calendar, the Republicans are to blame for ignoring the responsibilities of Congress to the American people!
If the people had sense, they would kick the GOP out of House control and insure the return of a Democratic majority in the US Senate!
