Will the new Congress be seated if the shutdown continues? (nt)

1. Yes, they are a separate branch of the govt, not part of the Federal workforce. n/t

[question everything]

2. Thanks. So the "wall budget" that this House passed will be null and void

And he can huff and puff until he explodes, hopefully.

4. For a bill to pass, the same version must be approved by both the House and Senate.

If the bills vary, the differences must be worked out in a committee.

Then Trumpy has to sign it. If Trumpy doesn't sign, the House and Senate can override by a 2/3 vote. The bill giving Trumpy $5 billion will never pass.

3. Why not?

Congress is a separate branch

13. What about the ones maintaining the building?

Aren't they government employees?

Someone has to lock and unlock the doors, turn the furnace on and off...

No?

5. THE 66% REQUIRED IS NOT IN THE LEGISLATURE

There are not enough GOP DRONES in the legislature to pass this legislation. The GOP is STUMPED. Old bone spurs has no more grafting ideas to make a bad joke work. I think there are enough GOP members who will go ROUGE and join to "fight" old bone spurs.
