It was in the bill. A floor vote in both houses of Congress was a part of this bill.
My Gosh, the ignorance here is astounding tonight.
“It was in the bill. A floor vote in both houses of Congress was a part of this bill......My Gosh, the ignorance here is astounding tonight.”
I haven’t read anywhere where the BBA is included in this Bill. Can you provide ONE reliable link to this information?
Isn't it ever!
I've had enough for this session. going to make some chamomile tea and get calmed down, grab my cat and get some sleep - I enjoy a good thread with intelligent debating - but both sides have to have at least a modicum of intelligence.
that ain't happening on one side tonight - OOPS - THUNDER...
Good excuse to shut down.
glad you, faucetman, etc were here tonight or I would be quite depressed - and probably take a long sabbatical from FR.
I did find a reference to it:
“However, the deal reached over the weekend does require that the House and Senate vote on a joint resolution proposing a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution. A two-thirds majority of each House would be needed to pass it, after which it would be referred to the states for possible ratification. Thirty-eight state legislatures would have to approve it to amend the Constitution.”
It apparently requires a “vote”, but no passage. So, it is already DOA. I don’t think LTC West’s vote will be excussed by most for a “vote” only. A previous version required it be passed by the Congress and sent to the states. That is what got the Speaker’s legislation passed last Friday.
