Will the President use a Pocket Veto on the stimulus bill?
He definitely could. This is important because Congress cannot override it.
Will the President use a Pocket Veto on the stimulus bill? (noqreport.com)
23 Dec 2020 ~~ By Scott Boyd
President Trump wants more money for Americans and less money for foreign aid, lobbyists, and special interests, so he rejected the stimulus bill yesterday evening during a speech on the matter. Speculation is spreading that he may not officially veto the stimulus package, opting instead to simply not sign it. With Congress adjourning no later than 11:59 am on January 3rd, that means Congress has until today at noon to get the bill on the President’s desk to prevent a Pocket Veto.
A president presented with a bill from Congress has 10 days, excluding Sundays, to sign or veto it. The exception is if Congress adjourns during that time period, in which case an unsigned and non-vetoed bill essentially disappears. The “Pocket Veto” time period happens to fall perfectly to run into adjournment IF they do not get the massive bill over to him by noon today.

Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar Tweeted a simple proposal: Give the people the $2000 in a standalone bill and deal with everything else separately. That may actually be the only option left for Capitol Hill unless they want to try to force the current bill onto the President’s desk before noon today and rush an override of his expected veto.
Will Congress push the bill to the President before noon? Will the government shut down after December 28? Will Ilhan Omar be the surprising initiator of the President’s plan? So many questions. Grab the popcorn.
Comment:
I totally agree with Trump. The Deomcrat Porkulus Covid-19 Bill gives nothing to the Ameican taxpayer and is so full of Democrat Pork that now makes DC the Ptok Capital of th world rivaling the city of Smithfield NC.
Prlosi once again wants a Bill passed before we can see what's in it,
What little we know shows that the Bill is not about helping Ameicans but, once again padding Democrat pet projects and funding America's foes like Venezuela, Pakistan, Cambodia and others...
Nonetheless, Yes there are some parts that will actually help workers and families:
However, the Pork and wish list of the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Leftist far out weigh the assistance to American taxpayers. For this reason alone the paltry amount of $600,00 to Americans is an insult,
- $30 billion directly provided to states to help them stabilize their funding for schools.
- $10 billion to help alleviate the harm caused by the coronavirus on higher education institutions, while providing them with added flexibility to continue operating during the crisis.
- The legislation also would help current borrowers with their student debt burden and GI Bill benefits.
It would be a fitting sad end to the disgusting pervert's administration.... 40M Americans out of work and now he's so pissed off about losing the election, he's denying them unemployment benefits and the rest of us a stimulus check which many people could use.
Trump has gone from being pathetic to being sad and pathetic.
Which has what to do with the fact that your sexually perverted party is sending billions overseas?
I'm not a Democrat or a Republican. Both of those congressional party leaders signed off on the bill. So I guess your question is why is YOUR sexually perverted party sending billions overseas?
BTW...as you probably don't know because, well, you're a dumb ass, the portion of the bill that has foreign aid and other non-covid items is not part of the covid relief package. Its a separtre Omnibus spending bill that will keep the government operating. We could have parts of the government shut down once again on Monday and a President who is too pissed to care. Its what you voted for. Enjoy.
We bribe for countries to do what we want. Trumpy had 4 years to oppose it. He's just pissed McConnell won't let him have his coup
Trump stopped sending money to nations that voted against us in the UN.
I realize you don't know this because you only read headlines.
