Small Group of House Dems Press Boehner to Postpone Netanyahu

23 Democrate Congressman are urging Speaker of the House John Boehner to postpone his invitation to Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The invitation was originally planned for March 3rd.  The speech in the Democratic mindset would have been one of controversy. They don't think it's proper for a leader of another nation to be giving a speech a couple weeks before a election in his own country.  Although the speech wasn't expected to be boycotted, it is expected for the speech not to be delivered for a long time.

This relates to government because the House of Representatives is a branch in the US congress. The US congress is part of the legislative branch in government.  The speech was therefore going to be presented to an abundance of federal workers, relating to politics in that way.

I honestly don't know why there was a problem with the speech. Even though it would have been a couple of days before the election in his country it would have been good for the congressman to hear from someone in a different part of the world. Hopefully this speech will be presented in the near future.
