If I were in the house I would have done everything I could to have a vote on a one line bill

"The Affordable Health Care for America Act of 2009 is repealed."

Not in x months, not part of it, but repealed. Removed and ended right now.

Make them vote on it up or down and if the idiots pass it force Trump to sign or veto it.

Your bill would've been referred to a Congressional committee, where it would disappear.

And publicize it.

On the floor "Let's have a vote, I've heard mouths running and running for the last 7 years, now is your time to put your vote where your mouth is."
