[Legislurker]

Don't dis must-pass phrasing. If youre over 18 you should remember Newt and Bill shutting the government down. They are SO last minute on funding at times its mindblowing. Remember when Corzine and NJ couldnt agree and all of NJ shut down? Newt lost more political goodwill/capital than Bill in the shutdown process, how and why I dont think anyone knows except Bill is better with the press. Stalling or vetoing one of those bills, I think 8/year are required,
and all kinds of [censored] stops. Imagine no Social Security check or hospitals who couldnt process Medicare. No port inspectors or border agents. Now, a signing statement against our part of a bill would be interesting. But must-pass legislation is out there and its no sexy or discretionary. But it can take riders and it often does.
