Leaders battle over Twitter on House stalemate

House leaders Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner exchanged barbs Wednesday about how productive the House has been this year.

Earlier Wednesday, Boehner (R-Ohio) defended the legislative record of the House, saying it passed nearly 150 bills aimed at boosting job creation.

Number of the day: 148. That’s how many House-passed bills Senate Dems haven’t acted on. http://t.co/PZhrfox1Er

Pelosi (D-Calif.), the House minority leader, quickly tweeted back.

Number of the year: 0. That’s how many times the House GOP allowed a vote on a jobs bill. pic.twitter.com/fOBrJTEx8M

Boehner then doubled down in his response.

When will the Senate act on our bills to boost #AmericanEnergy, improve job training, roll back #redtape, & more? (2/2)

Pelosi on Tuesday had tweeted at the Speaker that “we’ve done our work.”

House Democrats have pointed to a few bipartisan measures the Senate has passed that Boehner refuses to take up, such as immigration reform.

U.S. News and World Report recently noted that the “do-nothing” Congress in 1947 and 1948 passed 900 bills, while the current Congress has only turned 52 bills into law so far.
