Ever heard of a pocket veto?
I have
Most presidents don't do that and neither did Trump
so why are you pointing it out?
The delay is not trumps fault. The delay is the fault of the bill stuffing.
What?
He fucking signed it
@SoonMrWick you'll happily cower in place at once.
@SoonMrWick you'll wear a mask as you cower in place and love it.
O really
He could have vetoed it immediately and then Congress could have tried to override the veto or start over.
He could have signed it immediately and benefits would have continued.
Or he could have done the "Pocket Veto" which is to do nothing for 10 days not including Sundays.
Which did he do?
None.... he waited
until benefit ended
then signed it
period
he did something weird and not period
TDS
Just a neat phrase you heard somewhere
Unbridled cowardness has gotten us to where we are today.
Because what Trump did was not a pocket veto
"As President I am demanding many rescissions under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974."
Is it possible for Pence to split the votes in the “contested” states (where he got duel electors) as he reads them? The Dems would have to get the 1 and 1 to contest, and both majorities to overturn, and Trump hits 270 first as they’re read...
He tried giving it a chance to fix the bill, don't know if it will work.
We've put that in here three times. I can't imagine how he would have missed it. I'm mearly saying there were more options than outright signing it since they would have overruled it with 2/3 vote... and he took one of those avenues. The problem is not trump, the problem is the bill itself. Some people can get over that, some people can't.
No he didnt
He could sign it, veto it or do nothing for 10 days (pocket veto)
He signed it
The bill is now law
But he signed it 2 days too late for people to get their money for this week
They will get it next week
This is not complex
That is all that his delay did, cost unemployed people 300 bucks
I don't think the alternative Elector slates are going to factor in at all... The state legislatures had nothing to do with them. They were a stunt.
Contact your house of representatives rep and have them submit a better bill next time. Stop whining about trump.
But you come back with "every heard of a pocket veto" as if that is what happened. Clearly you have no idea what a pocket veto is...
Wow... that was a Bill passed by BOTH House and the Senate
