The president plans to spend the Presidents’ Day weekend in the Windy City, and is not expected to sign the bill until Tuesday, when he travels to Denver to discuss his economic plan.

Both the House and Senate passed the bill Friday night.

The push to get the bill through before the holiday weekend was so frantic, members of Congress didn’t have a chance to read all 1,071 pages of the document before they could vote.

The real reason it was RUSHED thru was because Queen Nancy had a 6pm Friday departure time on her (our) private jet for an eight day trip to Europe; going to see the Pope.

Can you imagine the "problems" that would have arose if she had to leave (taking some Dem's with her) and the bill had not been passed?

Actually Congress was held into the night and they flew in one Dem to vote who was away at a wake.

No, the REAL reason it was rushed through was so people would not have time to find out what was in it.

It’s the same backroom midnight railroad job that was tried with the last amnesty bill.

Republicans need to keep pointing out what this bill contains so the public will understand how they were scammed.
