Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon said he plans to introduce a companion bill to the bipartisan Senate legislation aimed at reclaiming Congress’ authority over tariffs, becoming the first House Republican to openly challenge the powers President Donald Trump is using to launch a massive global trade war.

    Remind me again, when congress passes a bill, before it becomes a law, who has to sign it?

        It was in the form of a question, maybe you could answer it since you seem to know?

        Edit: Spoiler alert, he doesn’t know

              You’re truly a moron, aren’t you. Pocket vetos can’t happen during a working session. Cunt.

              Article 1 of the Constitution, cunt. Read the fucking link, cunt. Section 7.

                First, none of this is common knowledge nor contained within the link, which makes you the cunt for your first comment.

                And second, congress can and may adjourn before the bill gets through

                And third, a supermajority may be hard to come by with Trump’s loyalists in control

                Overall: U r a cunt and u r wrong

                  Your fucking fault for bullshitting about stuff you clearly know nothing about, and confidently so. Fuck off. And learn some civics. Cunt. Go read article 1 in its entirety, cunt. As for your complete bullshit about congress adjourning whenever the fuck they want, yeah, at the cost of passing any and all legislation. How many times in history have they closed for the fuck of it to allow a goddamned pocket veto?

                  Jesus. Just piss off already. The framers well understood the veto. You haven’t outsmarted anyone. Cunt.
