Or... one bill virtually fully bypasses the leverage the Founders gave to the executive branch.... (veto power) and the other bill helps federal workers get paid while still preserving some of the Presidents leverage and really does not hurt the democrats at all. Why the hell would they so no... but to inflict pain in an attempt to get the President to back down.
You mean bypassing veto power by having strong support (over 2/3 if I recall) as per the constitution?
Congress could always bypass if the have the numbers. I was attempting to explain that if Trump were to agree to fund everything but Homeland security he would have given up his leverage... almost entirely. (which is the veto power given to the executive... it was designed by the founders to cause negotiations between the two branches.)
So you are agreeing that trump is playing politics with hundreds of thousands of people’s livelihoods and millions of people’s safety.
Let them eat cake he said.... ....just like Marie Antoinette. (And get a payday loan to pay for it) -maga “I know they are, and I don’t really quite understand why,” Ross said when asked on CNBC about workers getting food from places like shelters. “Because, as I mentioned before, the obligations that they would undertake, say borrowing from a bank or a credit union are in effect federally guaranteed.” “Put it in perspective, you’re talking about 800,000 workers, and while I feel sorry for the individuals that have hardship cases, 800,000 workers if they never got their pay, which is not the case they will eventually get it, but if they never got it, you’re talking about a third of a percent on our GDP,” he said of the affected federal employees. “So, it’s not like it’s a gigantic number overall.” -Wiiilbur
As President Trump said. "We can reopen the government in about 45 minutes if the democrats want to." Let the federal workers eat cake or start calling for the dems to re-open government. Sick of hearing about fucking Washington,DC 24/7. When will Officer Singh be returning to work?
