With respect, I answered nothing, I posed questions. Your reply was not an answer. Anybody can author anything, but for it to become law, it takes the Senate and Congress, which modify and change the bill, and eventually approve it or not, and send it to the President to accept or veto. As it was, there was not a clear majority to approve it, so it was removed from the calendar. They are working on it today.
You still have not answered my question. In your own words please.
> WHY you blame Ryan? He does not sign the bill, he can author it, but at the end of the day, Trump signs it
As you point out, the President does not author bills. Congress does.
The House Whip answers to the Speaker, not to the President.
The Speaker schedules votes, the President does not.
Ryan failed leadership-wise.
The bill does not repeal ACA, contrary to Ryan’s repeated assertions. His plan relies on future actions, and “phase 3” would likely be by a future Congresses. Why wasn’t a repeal bill ready on day 1? Ryan said “maybe sometime in March”. March came and what was produced? A repeal bill? No. He produced a bill that amends ACA and a promise that two bills sometime in the future will repeal ACA.
Ryan failed legislatively.
Ryan is a failure. He can not lead. The roll out was inept. The bill does not repeal - which is what was promised. That’s why I blame him and not Trump.
