Les républicains sur le point de "dominer le monde"?

(Le dessin montre le leader républicain du sénat Mitch McConnell) 

 Les républicains pourraient encore gagner suffisamment de sièges au sénat pendant les élections de novembre pour atteindre la majorité de la chambre haute. Seront-ils alors en mesure de voter toutes les lois qu'ils ont à l'agenda? Pas vraiment... Pour avoir les mains libres, il faut obtenir soixante sièges. Ils pourront malgré tout s'opposer régulièrement au président démocrate.

 "With both the Senate and the House in their hands, Republicans could put Obama on defense on everything from Obamacare to the administration’s greenhouse gas regulations, the Keystone XL pipeline, education policy and spending priorities.

They’d have a better chance of forcing the president to sign or veto changes to the health care law, a go-ahead for Keystone, House-passed jobs bills like the one that would make the research and development tax credit permanent — and a halt to greenhouse gas regulations.

 And the oversight power alone would keep Obama administration officials busy with even more hearings. That’s something Senate Republicans can do with even the thinnest majority. Just by taking over the chairmanships of the committees, they could launch another round of hearings on the health care law, the IRS scandal, the mess at the Veterans Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Some are even talking about reviving subjects like the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and the bungled Fast and Furious gun-walking operation.
