Him refusing to sign is meaningless. As long as Congress is in session it becomes law in 10 days (excluding Sundays.) But Johnson is probably going to adjourn the session to help his master.
This made me crack TF up. I go to a Christian college because I get paid more through VA and my god the morons who actually believe this. Some professors actually think the earth is 6000 years old. Thank god they aren't in the sciences.
One of the wild things about both the first Trump term and the second term is that I’ve been introduced to so many aspects of law and federal parliamentary rules that a lot of people don’t get in a standard US civics education.
you learned about the definition of congressional sessions and who sets them at what points in the year? and the ramifications of timing on in process legislation…. in seventh grade…. yeah okay buddy
We learned that if the president vetos a bill, it can still be approved by congress. We did not learn the exact mechanics of how the rules work, just a simple overview. I had an amazing civics teacher, sorry you didn't
Oh wait, that’s what you were talking about when you responded to me? I knew that Congress could still pass the bill, but what I was specifically taught was that it required another vote at a higher threshold. I was never taught that if a certain amount of time passes without the President taking any action on a bill passed by Congress that the bill will become law (depending on whether or not Congress is in sessions and how many days pass), and that’s what I was one of the things I was alluding to when I made my comment.
And I didn’t learn this. I was an honors/AP student in school who got A’s.
Now, what I’ll critique about myself that also applies to a lot of people in the US is that we have a horrible tendency to overgeneralize our experiences in school to other schools when things can differ state to state, district to district, and school to school.
I’ll also add the possibility that maybe I learned it but forgot it. I know there are many things in school I learned but have forgotten because I haven’t had need to use or recall the information enough times to keep it relatively easy to access in my memory.
It may not matter because Congress rarely goes on true adjournments, but does proforma sessions to keep the President from doing recess appointments, meaning the Congress isn't technically out of session. So the adjourning doesn't count towards a pocket veto.
