Lobbyists Won’t Like What Pelosi Has in Mind

 If for no other reason; Lobbyists Won’t Like What Pelosi Has in Mind

Odds are that lobbying in the House of Representatives is about to get harder.

If Democrats gain the 15 seats they need to win control of the House — and most analysts think they will — one of the first things the new House will do is restrict or end outright a slew of lobbying practices

In a little-publicized statement, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the House Democratic leader, has promised to change the chamber’s rules to reflect the provisions of her not-so-modestly-named Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2006. The months-old measure would, among other things, prohibit House members from accepting gifts and travel from lobbyists or from organizations that employ lobbyists.

Question is???
Will the Senate pass it and with the Liar in Chief veto if passed? I suspect that if the D’s take over Congress, that the used just once veto pen will be kicked into overdrive.
