As far as authorization, do you think Bush is going to let a little bill get in his way when the heat is on...
If you notice he’s more an ask forgiveness rather than permission type guy in these cases.
Well, it seems that Paul had no problem co-sponsoring similar bills for:
H.RES.501 : Commending Craig Biggio of the Houston Astros for reaching 3,000 base hits as a Major League Baseball player and for his outstanding service to baseball and the Houston, Texas, region.
H.RES.145 : Recognizing the public service of Archbishop Patrick Flores.
H.RES.585 : Honoring the extraordinary life of legendary reporter, television personality, international humanitarian, and Houston icon Marvin Harold Zindler
That’s just this year..
