That's what a majority of us voted them in to do
This majority is disputed. Besides, one needs not only a majority of the House but also a majority of the majority party just to get a bill introduced. So if 100% of the minority party and 49% of the majority party favor something, it doesn't get to the House floor.

Was this necessary?
We go there to escape reality.... not imitate it.
Please read replies to the other Anonymous Coward who said the same thing.
It was a vote that followed the lawful and legitimate election process.
If the representatives are failing to do their job of representing the views of the electorate, then "the lawful and legitimate election process" needs amending.
A religious fanatic will always find *some* sign that armageddon is coming, no matter what.
And Jehovah's Witnesses will claim that it's been "coming" since the start of WWI in 1914 and rationalize the delay through God's patience with humankind to get the preaching work done.
You can't stop Chicken Little from being Chicken Little.
You can if The Walt Disney Company sues other studios that adapt the same fable on trumped-up allegations of infringement of copyrights and trademarks related to its 1943 and 2005 films.
If that's possible then you use a lnguage that's well supported on other platforms.
So what should one do when there exists no language that all relevant platforms support well? One could invent a new language and implement a compiler for it that emits code in each platform's preferred language. Or one could compile an existing language into a supported language, such as with the C-to-JavaScript compiler Emscripten. But would you find that that practical?
Even then, portability is only one aspect. I'm not going to write an Android app entirely in C just to make porting to iPhone easier. I'd be losing too much of the Android system that pretty much depends on Java.
So how do you prove that the application logic (not the UI logic) of an Objective-C application for OS X or iOS behaves identically to the application logic of a Java application for Android? For example, to allow cross-platform play of a multi-platform video game, the behavior of the game's physics on all platforms must match, or the games will fall out of sync.
