The U.S. House of Representatives?

Question

The U.S. House of Representives have voted to pay a Lutheran Clergymen $50,000 a year for opening each session of the House with a prayer.

The previous Chaplain recevied $25,000 a year for such prayers.

Answer 1

I guess the increase in pay is needed since this group needs a lot more prayers.  If that is what it takes for them to wake up and listen to the American citizen I am all for it.

Answer 2

They hired a chaplain, they did not establish an official religion.  Perfectly constitutional.

Answer 3

Ummm what the h**l happened to separation of church and state???  This is disgusting...  If it was the democrats who voted for this I'm totally resigning from my political party and going towards my socialist tendencies
