Boehner urges Republicans to rest up for MEANINGLESS VOTES when they return. (Borowitz)

The Repblicans need 5 weeks off to rest after working hard at stopping any legislation that could help our nation from passing.  40 Votes to repeal a law is hard work.

According to Mr. Boehner, this year’s gruelling schedule of fake-repeal votes had been the G.O.P.’s “most physically punishing ever.”
Noting that the exhausting ordeal of frequent, pointless Obamacare votes had transformed his fellow House Republicans into hollowed-out husks of their former selves, the Speaker observed, “Purely symbolic voting may be even more exhausting than actual work.”
“It’s true that voting to repeal Obamacare has cost the American taxpayer over fifty million dollars,” he said. “But that’s nothing compared to the toll it’s taken on us.”
