Married musicians Beyonce, left, and rapper Jay-Z, during an April 4, 2013
trip to Cuba, and President Obama.APYou generally don't want to get into
a rap rivalry with Jay-Z.But the White House on Thursday challenged the
mega-artist after he released a track suggesting he got "White House clearance"
for his controversial trip to Cuba with wife Beyonce.Jay Carney, President

would effectively shut down the National Labor Relations Board until certain
conditions are met.Republicans have claimed the board is illegitimate since

when he bypassed the Senate to fill vacancies on the board.House Republicans
are expected to vote this week to prevent the board from conducting
business until the Senate confirms new members constituting a quorum or
the Supreme Court decides the board has the authority to act. The
bill isn't expected to gain traction in the Senate.The White House says
that the bill would hurt the middle class and jeopardize workers' rights.
The administration argues Obama's appointments were constitutional and valid.
