Isn't the bill veto-proof? How does this work, when such a large majority voted for it in both houses?
I am hoping that both houses have to revote now, not just the Congress, because now the Senators have had time to read it and to hear the complaints from the people they serve. They will probably change their vote. But, I do not know the process needed to override a veto.
I think each representative member should hire hundreds of trusted employees to study a 25 page portion of enormous bills, then have them report the details of their portion of the bill back to the representative, so nothing gets snuck by the attention of the member. I don't care if they have to hire 200 auditors each. Their salaries are large enough to cover the cost, and they can write it off. No one should vote on a bill without knowing what it contains.
Geat points Patriot, and think about this also, Congress will be recess for Christmas. First time the 24th was marked as a Federal Holiday also, what can happen when Congress is in recess , think possible moves and counter moves.
