The Home certainly passed a budget resolution doubtlessly averting a shutdown, however DeLauro identified what most children study in grade faculty: that’s only one step in a invoice’s journey to changing into a regulation.
“It could be that the gentlelady doesn’t know that there’s one other physique connected to the U.S. Congress referred to as the US Senate,” DeLauro stated. “They usually should vote on the persevering with decision.”
And after that, the president has to signal it.
“Which may be a fundamental lesson in civics,” DeLauro famous. “There may be the Home. There may be the Senate. And there’s the president.”
DeLauro additionally chided Greene and different Republicans who “fairly frankly don’t perceive the method of presidency.”
