Chapter 377 Cowardly David
“Are you sure you can settle it as soon as possible?”
David looked at him with interest.
“I have some ‘friendship’ with the people on the Legislative Committee, I believe it should be fine!”
Josh has served as the party whip in the House of Representatives for so many years, if even a mere committee If he doesn't have the confidence to handle it, then he doesn't have to mess around.
"Okay, if you can handle this matter, then I will definitely not treat you badly in the future, but hurry up. You also know that the Freemasons are spending money like crazy and using various means to win over those congressmen. I am not too It will take a lot of time to delay.”
If Josh can handle this matter as soon as possible, it will save him a lot of time, so that he can concentrate on other things!
“No problem, give me a day and I will get it done!”
“Okay, happy cooperation!”
“Happy cooperation!”
After reaching an agreement and receiving their respective commitments, both parties shook hands happily.
"Inspector General David, without further ado, I will take care of this matter first!"
"Go!"
Neither did Josh If he kept talking nonsense, he stood up and left resolutely.
Soon, only David and Church were left at the scene.
"Inspector General David, after Josh handles this matter, the bill will enter the stage of dialectics and improvement. They will not be able to choke us at this stage. Then it will be smooth all the way to the voting stage, but what I want to know Yes, are we really okay with the number of votes now? "
Church had promised Josh that he would have enough votes, but that was actually just to make the other party give up the idea of wavering and stand up.
In fact, he was somewhat worried about the situation of those congressmen.
“According to the statistics of my staff, we now have 228 votes, plus the vote in the hands of Josh, that is 229 votes, but...at present, this Many of them involve double-dealing, and if it comes to voting, there will still be some uncertainties.”
Church was naturally happy to hear the first half of David’s words, but he was not sure about the second half. Then, he secretly became worried again.
Logically speaking, being able to hold 229 votes in the House of Representatives is already a huge advantage.
However, during the voting process of bills in the past, there are indeed many members who have already lobbied for the bill, but suddenly defected and the bill was aborted.
What's more, the three major Freemasonry groups are spending huge amounts of manpower and financial resources to lobby these congressmen.
And since David has said that there are many double-dealers among them, it shows that the hidden dangers are indeed not small.
“But don’t worry too much, I will try my best to get it done in a few days, so that there will be fewer people defecting at the last minute. Anyway, as long as I can get 218 votes, it will be enough.”
Hearing David's comfort, Church nodded first, and then seemed to remember something again, and asked: "Based on the current number of votes, plus your next operation, Inspector General David, I think it should pass the vote of the House of Representatives. There is no problem.”
“Even if it goes well, it is highly likely that it will be passed by the Senate.”
“But the only thing I am worried about is that it will be submitted to the president. Will he really sign it? "
His worries are not unreasonable.
Don’t look at Paidon’s current public stance, and judging from some information coming out from various quarters, he even hopes that this bill will be passed.
However, the three major groups of Freemasonry are still very powerful after all. When the bill really passes both houses of Congress, these three major groups will definitely make a fuss about this faction.
It’s hard to say whether Paiden can withstand the pressure when the time comes.
“If Paiden refuses to sign by then, then we will have to win the approval of two-thirds of the members to pass the bill, which may be a bit difficult...”
Judging from the current situation, there is great hope that this bill can pass the House of Representatives and the Senate.
However, it may be a bit difficult to win two-thirds of the members of both houses.
Moreover, the three major groups are not Muggles. How could they allow you to win over so many congressmen?
Church gradually became worried about this issue. He raised his head and looked directly at David, wanting to hear what David thought about this.
Unexpectedly, there was no worry or frown on David's face, only a calm expression.
It was as if everything had been expected by him.
“We have reached this point. No one can prevent the passage of this bill, not even Mr. President. If he refuses to sign it, then I will find a way to get him to sign it, or... It’s not a bad idea to replace him with someone else!”
David's words shocked Church.
What does it mean to sign someone else for him?
Could it be said that David has the idea of taking action against the president?
But this is not possible. According to the Constitution of the United States, the president cannot be sanctioned by any judicial process as long as he is in office.
Could it be... right!
Impeach!
Qiu Qi’s thoughts changed instantly.
The president of the United States cannot be sanctioned by judicial procedures, but sanctions can be imposed on him through impeachment by Congress.
As long as the impeachment is successful, the president will also have to step down.
For example, Nixon was involved in the Watergate incident.
But I have to say that Inspector General David is so courageous that he even dares to take on the president’s ideas. This is crazy!
"Go ahead and contact us if you need anything."
"Okay, I'll leave now."
Qiu Qi put away his messy thoughts, no After saying more words, he stood up and left.
……
As expected, Josh did not exaggerate about Haikou. The next day, David saw Congress's announcement on TV that the off-site tax avoidance bill had officially received legislative coding.
After getting the code, Church and others naturally did not hesitate at all and directly announced that a committee discussion would be held on this bill to conduct dialectical improvements and other work!
As for the process, it will take several days, so there is no rush.
"Go tell Elvis to help me collect some 'relevant information' about Mr. President!"
In the office, David ordered Munson.
Munson was shocked at first when he heard this, and then asked weakly: "Inspector General, that's Mr. President, look..."
The word president means a lot to anyone in the United States. They are all said to be intimidating, and he is certainly no exception.
"It's just a collection, there will be no problem, go ahead!"
He has been busy working on this bill for so long, and he will definitely not allow any mistakes in any link. As for the presidential signature, even if Church hadn't mentioned it yesterday, he would have already made some preparations.
If nothing is done in advance, if the White House is stuck and refuses to sign by then, who knows what changes will happen.
So, make some preparations in advance. If the White House really hesitates, he can use this to exert some pressure and get them to sign the bill as soon as possible to make it take effect.
Seeing David's firm tone, Munson did not dare to say anything more and quickly turned around and left.
A few hours later, Munson came back with a document in his hand and placed it in front of David.
David picked it up and looked at it for a while, and his expression became playful.
Paden himself doesn't have any big problems, but the reason why he says there is no big problem is because it is impossible to put pressure on him, the dignified number one man in the United States, with those trivial things.
But...his son has a big problem.
According to the data, his son is a playboy.
He is involved in all kinds of food, drink, prostitution and gambling, and has been arrested by law enforcement agencies many times. It is because of his father, the president, that he has been able to get away with it until now.
In addition, according to information, his son has long held a senior executive position in a commercial company in Uzbekistan, and has many interests with the British Empire, Israel and other countries.
According to the intelligence information obtained by the CIA, these interest transactions were most likely personally directed by Paiden.
But intelligence is intelligence, it is not direct evidence, so for Paiden and his son, it is just "spreading dirty water" at most, and there is nothing they can do about it.
As for whether there is any direct evidence of their blackmail in the CIA?
The answer is no.
But this is normal.
As president, how could Paden let the CIA take control of him?
It seems that the breakthrough has to come from his son!
I have to find time to meet his son.
Quietly get something useful from this dude. If the White House really wants to block his bill and not sign it, it can use this to put pressure!
Of course, there is one more urgent thing to do now, and that is to first beat those congressmen who may be incited to rebel.
Thinking of this, David immediately picked up the phone and began to arrange the itinerary...
...
Senado Island
In the conference room, Henrietta sat On the main seat, on his left and right sides were the seven major families.
Across from Henrietta and the seven major families, there are other members of the Freemasonry, as well as Nan Xi, who was invited.
Nan Xi seemed to know very well why the Freemasonry invited her here, so when she came here, she had no intention of actively asking, but was waiting for the other party to speak.
"What did you do to Speaker Nan Xi? How did they get the legislative number so quickly?"
The first to attack was Joshua of the Mogen family, and the others present Although the person did not directly accuse, he also showed an expression of dissatisfaction.
Speaking of which, in the final analysis, Nan Xi’s responsibility is really great.
After all, as the speaker of the House of Representatives, she could not control her committees and let the bill get the legislative number so quickly. This is really inappropriate.
"I do have some responsibility for this matter. I didn't expect that guy Josh to suddenly attack. What's more, I didn't expect that he would take care of the committee so quickly. By the time I reacted, it was too late..."
Although Nan Xi was apologizing in his words, his demeanor was cold and indifferent, without any hint of guilt.
"What's the use of responsibility on you? If they don't get this legislative number so quickly, then we can have more time to convince those swinging legislators..."
"Okay "
Before Joshua could finish speaking, Henrietta stopped and interrupted: "Now that their bill has received a legislative number, it will soon enter the House of Representatives. It’s time for voting. How many votes do we have now?”
After hearing this, everyone present fell silent instantly.
In fact, the legislative number is not important at all. The votes in Congress are the most important!
"According to statistics, we currently have a total of 221 votes, but..."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.
As I said before, in the House of Representatives, as long as you have 218 votes, you can have the final say!
But when the word 'but' appeared at the end, everyone suddenly felt bad.
“But what?”
Henrietta asked immediately.
“These 221 votes are only calculated on the surface. I believe everyone knows that in the voting process in Congress, it is useless to rely solely on preliminary statistics. Many members can be said to support us today. , but they will be able to vote for the other party when they vote tomorrow..."
Obviously, the Freemasons can poach the congressmen who have been persuaded by David, and David can naturally poach them. They persuade good MPs here.
And now on the surface, whether it is the Freemasons or David's side, they have an advantage in the number of votes they have.
But until the actual voting, no one can guarantee which of those congressmen are human and which are ghosts.
"This won't work. Then David's best skill is to trick people. We were tricked by him once in the last assassination. If we can't guarantee that the 221 votes we have counted now, it was because he deliberately let people down. We calculated it to confuse us!”
“Yes, if we had an absolute advantage, say a high number of 250 or 260 votes, we wouldn’t be afraid of their instigation, but now it’s clear. The statistical advantage is only a few votes, which is too unsafe!”
“We have spent almost 20 billion US dollars in all major states these days, how come the number of votes is only this?”
The Freemasons at the scene suddenly became worried.
“Enough!”
While everyone was still doing their duties, a voice came out, making everyone shut their mouths.
Because the person who made this voice was none other than Henrietta, the leader of the group.
"Nan Xi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, the current situation is so unfavorable for us. I would like to ask you not to have reservations anymore and help us settle this bill first. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to do your best to help me, Whatever you want, our three major groups will try our best to satisfy you!”
Henrietta was very clear mentally.
Although Nan Xi apparently helped them operate the legislative code secretly, he still had reservations about dealing with David.
He really didn’t believe that this dignified leader of the House of Representatives would really be powerless to watch the legislative number being obtained by David.
But no matter what, Nan Xi is still the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
If she intervenes in this court with all her strength, the chances of winning for several major groups will definitely increase a lot.
