Trump saying he won't sign a DHS funding bill unless the save act is passed

“I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY…,” the president wrote in his Sunday morning Truth Social post.

...all non-starters with Democrats.

___The House leader has pressed Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to use a talking filibuster to pass the bill, which was approved by the House in February.

The filibuster would force Democrats to speak continuously on the Senate floor to delay a vote on the bill. But, once they cede the floor, Republicans could circumvent the need for a 60-vote majority and pass the measure with just 51 votes.

On Sunday, Trump again urged Thune to use this tactic to get the bill across the finish line.

“Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS,” the president wrote, referring to the conservative activist.

“It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE,” he continued.

...As long as Congress is in session, and they will be until December (recesses don't count), a bill becomes law automatically after 10 days if the president doesn't sign it.

2. Hey, Piggy, did ya know that if a president hasn't signed a bill after 10 days it goes into effect anyhow?

Did ya know that? Bet ya didn't.

"If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law." Article I, sec. 7, U.S. Constitution.

But you don't read the Constitution much, do ya?

5. Of course, a bill has to be passed first

And nothing significant is likely to be passed until fall at the earliest, when the continuing budget resolution expires.

6. True! He's talking out his ass, as usual.

3. That dumb f*ck

Several states are all mail-in ballot. The money and infrastructure to revert to in-person is gone, and that bell is NOT getting unrung.

4. That's a lot of post offices that won't get renamed

Because other than the SAVE act and DHS funding, there aren’t any significant bills pending, and won’t be until the continuing budget resolution expires in the fall.
