Pocket Veto?

Why Trump Won't Be Signing His Tax Cuts Right Away


But despite Trump’s impatience for tax cuts, he might not actually sign the landmark bill into law right away, White House advisers said. In fact, Trump might wait until the new year, pushing the outer boundary of the 10 days the Constitution gives the president to affix his signature to legislation passed by Congress.

1. He and his team are so incompetent

that they may do an inadvertent pocket veto.

7. That was my first thought upon reading the OP subject line.

2. Save me, back me up on the Mueller firing

Or I don’t sign

3. is congress actually in recess?

if congress is technically still in session, even if it's just gavel-in, gavel-out once every 3 days or whatever, then it becomes law without his signature after 10 days.

it's only a pocket veto if 10 days go by without a signature *and* congress is in recess.

4. The Republicans may drop the ball on a symbolic session.

5. obviously it would be delicious for them to screw this up

especially as jones would likely then be seated, though they still would have the votes.

anyway, i thought i heard months ago that they still wanted to prevent donnie from making recess appointments for some reason.

dunno for sure, haven't read anything about it lately.
