I just finished reading Steve Eggleston’s post here concerning what constitutes when a bill passes and when not:
Allow me to translate that for you – as of right now, the ONLY court-acceptable evidence that an “enrolled bill” actually passed Congress, or was even introduced into either House of Congress, is the signatures of the Speaker of the House and the Vice President (or presumably the Senate President Pro Tempore) on said “enrolled bill”. That’s right – a troka of the Speaker, Vice President and President have had the power to unilaterally enact law regardless of the other 534 members of Congress and indeed the Constitution for the last 118 years.
I turned on Rush he is pointing out what I’ve said before. Once the Senate bill is “deemed” passed nothing else matters. The president will sign it and anything else you do won’t mean spit.
Take a Bow Steve.
