Yup. Sure does look different from his VP days. I wouldn’t have recognized him if I passed him walking down the street.

Wonder how much loyalty he still has for the Bushes?

Sounds like it. Never realized he also has an Arizona background; always associated him with Indiana.

Chairman of Global Investments, eh? Wonder what kind of relationship he has with China.

He went to college (DePauw) and law school (Indiana) here.
Then got into politics won a House seat in 76 and defeated Evan Bayh’s father for a Senate seat in the 80 Reagan victory wave.

I would say he exemplified the term “country club Republican”

Thanks for those articles Spunky. I was also under the impression that Melania had been quite influential in the selection of Pence for VP.

Congress has periodically given the President statutory authority not to spend appropriated funds. Title X of The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 gave the president the power to both delay the expenditure of funds and to cancel funds, or what was called “rescission authority.” However, to rescind funds, the president needed congressional concurrence within 45 days. However, Congress is not required to vote on these proposals and has ignored most presidential requests to cancel funds.

The Line Item Veto Act of 1996 changed that rescission authority. The Line Item Veto Act put the burden on Congress to disapprove a line-out by the president’s pen. A failure to act meant the president’s veto take effect. Under the 1996 act, Congress had 30 days to override a presidential line item veto. Any such congressional resolution of disapproval, however, was subject to a presidential veto. Thus Congress needed a two-thirds majority in each chamber to override the presidential rescission.

The act was controversial: it delegated new powers to the president, affected the balance between the legislative and executive branches, and changed the budget process.

The day after the Line Item Veto Act of 1996 passed, a group of U.S. senators challenged the bill in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. U.S. District Judge Harry Jackson, who was appointed to the bench by Republican President Ronald Reagan, declared the law unconstitutional on April 10, 1997. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, ruled the senators did not have standing to sue, tossing their challenge and restoring the line item veto power to the president.

The Expedited Legislative Line-Item Veto and Rescissions Act of 2011: The Expedited Legislative Line-Item Veto and Rescissions Act of 2011 allows the president to recommend specific line items be cut from legislation. But it’s up to Congress to agree under this law. If Congress does not enact the proposed rescission within 45 days, the president must make the funds available, according to the Congressional Research Service.
ME...I CAN’T FIND WHERE THIS ACT EVER PASSED.

...what happened in Nashville is a BIG SIGN to what's to come. Its ALL or nothing.

With the amount of talk (mostly through or by the M$M) and somewhat limited action by agents (BLM/AntyFa) I've wondered when the DS would become directly active.

Your observation is the answer to my question.

Buckle up.

“The Art of Her Deal by Mary Jordan, a Washington Post reporter, gives a behind-the-scenes look at Melania’s life and her relationship with Trump. When it comes to Melania, an overarching theme of the book is the idiom, “there’s more than meets the eye,” including with regard to the role she plays in her husband’s administration.”

“Melania is very behind-the-scenes but unbelievably influential,” Sean Spicer, the president’s first communication director, told Jordan.”

So now the Washington POST is NO GOOD either? Sean Spicer is NO LONGER trust worthy just because it was written about in Newsweek?

So ABC says Melania wasn’t there when Pence was announced. Didn’t you just say that?

I give up. What used to be up is down and what is down is up.

The line item veto was passed, but it was held to be unconstitutional by SCOTUS in 1998.

Trump’s EPA team locks in smog limits ahead of Biden transition

The Environmental Protection Agency is locking in the air pollution limits at their current levels ahead of the Biden administration’s takeover, looking to preserve business- and climate-saving choices made during Donald Trump’s presidency.

It is the second such move the Trump administration has taken in recent weeks. Earlier this month, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced a decision to retain current standards for industrial soot pollution, despite calls from public health advocates and the agency’s scientists to tighten them.

“This decision comes after careful review of the most current scientific evidence, risk, and exposure information, and after consultation with the agency’s independent science advisers,” Wheeler told reporters Wednesday of the decision to keep national air quality limits for ozone at their current levels. The Obama administration last tightened the ozone standards in 2015, from 75 parts per billion to 70 parts per billion, over objections from industry groups.

Ground-level ozone is the primary contributor to smog, and it can cause trouble breathing, increase the frequency of asthma attacks, and damage lungs, according to the EPA.

The actions to keep the air quality limits stagnant likely locks in the current levels for at least many months, if not several years, even if the Biden administration attempts to reverse course. The EPA is required to review national air quality limits for ozone, fine particle pollution, and other air pollutants every five years

This is a great decision that will benefit Americans. It appears that Biden’s pick to head the EPA believes that “environmental racism” is real.

Thank you President Trump, for putting America first.

Since I’ve been retired and live alone, I eat whatever for breakfast, and sometimes breakfast for dinner. I usually don’t eat until brunch time anyway.

So you agree with the agenda of the MSM too. The President is weak and Malania must makes his decision for him”. BS.
