Featured Members of Congress
On March 08, 2010 Jim Bunning was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
The retiring Sen. Jim Bunning [R, KY] thrust himself into the national spotlight in early March when he repeatedly blocked unanimous consent agreements on passing a <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h4691/show">bill to extend unemployment insurance benefits</a>. His objection was over the Democrats' decision to designate the funding as "emergency" and exempt it from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAYGO">Pay-Go</a> requirements. Bunning relented and allowed the bill to pass after Majority Leader Reid allowed for a vote on an amendment of his, which was rejected by a vote of 43-53.
