Will the Speaker call Congress back into an emergency session this month?

American Energy Act

as long as congress comes back early will this settle as yes? say they come back cause bush ordered it, or they come back, but its not called an "emergency session"..that still settle as yes? not nic-picing just making sure i understand how this will settle b4 i wager.

@dieseldog - Great question!

By tradition and by law, Congress recesses for the month of August, so since it's pretty unlikely that the August Recess will be broken for any reason, I'm ok with a YES settlement if they come back for any reasons.

I'm hoping that pressure from the people and from the president and from the GOP will bring them back.

The GOP drives me nuts!!! When they are large and in charge they do nothing. As soon as they are the underdogs they get busy and work hard.

The goals of the American Energy Act (http://www.gop.gov/energy/americanenergyact/) are nothing new. While the rest of the world expanded energy production we sat on our hands for the last decade to avoid offending some squirrel or moose or tadpole. We have the best technology in the world so I'm sure we can drill here, drill now and pay less in a much safer manner than third world countries do.

Maybe I'm wrong, but from my memory it seemed the GOP accomplished more during Clinton's Presidency than during Bush's Presidency... maybe during an Obamama Presidency the GOP would work hard on privatizing social security, controlling govt spending, lowering taxes, school choice, expanding domestic drilling, securing our borders, etc etc

They didn't do these things when they had the Whitehouse, Congress and Senate and I doubt they'd do any of this with John McCan't as president either.

@ f_o_f,

You're not mistaken, this is an accurate recap.

problem is the gop ain't gonna get control of either house or senate for while. if obama wins then they might get the house back after 4 years. i think their gonna loose senate seats this time around as well. will take longer to get the senate back. if obama really screws things up they might get it the senate back sooner. i prefer one party in whitehouse the other in control of congress. that way they don't get much done..ie they ain't taking more rights from the states. congress should have a 3-4 month session then go home. if needed they could be called back. thanks for clarifying the question f-o-f. have a nice day.
