The first battle over the direction of the GOP since Tuesdays - TopicsExpress



          

The first battle over the direction of the GOP since Tuesdays tidal wave election is quietly building as conservatives race to construct a plan to stop President Obamas executive amnesty. Huddling in Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) office Wednesday, top conservative aides sketched out a plan to include language prohibiting Obama from issuing employment permits to illegal aliens in an upcoming “omnibus” spending bill – and settling for a four-week stopgap bill if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid balks in the last days of his rule. Under the plan, Republicans would come back with reinforcements in January to try again, likely needing six Democrats to join them to send the bill to Obama. If the president vetoed it, the GOP would pass another short-term bill while building momentum for a veto-override vote.
